... Indeed. I hope this gives some encouragement to those who still haven't found any - they are there waiting to be found. Poisson distribution can be harsh ...
I'm curious as to how deeply the 24576_k6 bases were sieved. The reason I'm curious is that in an effort to better understand the PIES prime hunt I wrote some...
... I didn't go hugely deep, as there were so many ranges that needed sieving. Everything got to at least 10^14. k=6 I probably took a fair bit deeper, I can...

I have some spare Mac's but I'm completely inexperienced on Mac's. I couldn't run the client overseis.g5 (it tells me to choose application, and I couldn't...
... I'm certainly no expert, I often find it utterly unfathomable. ... Here's what works for me: (in a shell window) $ chmod 755 overseis.g5 $ ./overseis.g5...
... Phil missed one thing. overseis.g5 is a console application. In the Applications folder (or Applications/Utilities), double-click on Terminal. You will...
... Harumph. I'd claim I didn't miss that at all. Am I to conclude that OSX doesn't run executable programs (unless they are 'apps') when they're double...
Automatic range reservation is progressing. It's barely functional, but stuff that's not yet done isn't absolutely necessary. Can I have one or two volunteers...
Phil asked me to pick out my own reservation from the 24575_k6.abc file in the File area. When I downloaded the file, I found that it held 104,358 entries....
In poking around the Tahoo site, trying to find the range reservation system you wanted tested, I found the overseis.tgz file you uploaded on Jul 20th. the...
... I pretended to be you last night, and made your two reservations already! So there's very little for you do do or see. I'll let you know when more pages ...
The following perl function may interest you. When run with a min and a max as parameters, it returns a regular expression that, when used as input to egrep,...
BH and JAL have already found bugs, but I've resolved those. Can everyone else who intends to do LG or PIES testing now register at http://83.143.57.194:8081/ ...
It seems that your sieving has passed beyond where my code can work efficiently. Good job! That may change in a few months when I get some EMT64 machines...
... My sieve (with the .asm) is faster on anything with SSE2 than other processors. It should be much faster too if written for 64-bit chips, and with more ...
Thanks for these, Bob. You've reminded me of something I meant to point out a ... My quick 'maxerr to the max' foray at the upper limits of PIES k=2, after...
I'm running daphisiv on the 24576_k6.abc range (500000-800000). It seems to have been sieved to over 10^14 (at least -p=122880000000001), but I am finding...
I've got 530003 - 550999 reserved. But, with two processors (breaking the range into 2 parts and using two processes) I can crank through 18 an hour. I think...
... Yup, that's about the least I sieved any of the ranges to. k=6 being a small range compared to k=2 or k=3 probably didn't get sieved hugely more than that ...
... can grab the ... That would help. In the meantime I'll roll forward from where I'm at. ... Yes it's the VIA. It takes about 55 minutes for 1 PRP, but ...
It seem that I've found the break point in sieving. The first missed factor appears to be 124119893999617. I've currently more than doubled that, sieving to...
