The Third Megabit Drive
 

We are starting the Third Megabit Drive.
The k's on this current drive, as of 30 May 2014, are at level n=1.4M therefore the goal of this drive is to take them up to 2M. Goal can be prior extended.

The k's of this drive are:

203, 205, 219, 227, 235, 257, 259

[B]Update (June 03, 2014):[/B] adding k=275 and k=295 to the drive from n=1680k. Range n=1400-1680k for both k added as "batch 2".

[B]Update (June 08, 2014):[/B] batch 2 completed.

[B]Update (July 09, 2014):[/B] The drive is completed to n=2M.

[B] Update (June 16, 2015):[/B] Reopening the drive from n=2M.

Please help yourself and happy hunting! :smile:

[B]Test Files[/B]
Extensively sieved by Psieve (the latest sieve file of July 31, 2011)

See attachment with candidates from n=2M to 3M (split into 2k blocks, kindly prepared by Carlos).

[B]FFT lengths[/B]
Up to about n=1820k the 112k FFT will be used. AVX machines will benefit from the intermediate 120k FFT in the n=1850-1960k interval, where non-AVX machines will use the 128k FFT instead.

PS (Please attach zipped results naming like TMD_1400to1405.txt.zip and so on)

Hi Carlos

Thanks for starting the drive. I'm busy right now but will join the drive soon.
Happy hunting! :smile:

Taking 1400-1404.

Edit: Fast machines can test a candidate at n=1.4M in 500 seconds or less. Come on guys!

Sorry for not splitting the input files into chunks but I don't know how to do it automatically. Also as the numbers are very fast to process, on latest Intel processors they can take less than 500 secs, I don't know what is the optimal chunk size for now for this drive, if 2k or 4k or 6k, for a period of 7-10 days of crunching as usual done on the other drives.

Carlos

Taking 1404 to 1408

About automatically splitting the files
 

I may be able to help you out by automatically splitting the files if you want. Do you need them in splits of 1000 or 2000?

I splitted the 1.4-2M input file into 2k blocks (see attachment). Each block contains about 400 test candidates.

The attached ZIP file also contains a file called "url_list.txt" indicating the FFT lengths and percentages (for non-AVX machines). This file is only relevant for Kosmaj when uploading the files to his server...

[I]Edit:[/I] Attachment removed. Please use the file in the top post of this thread...

Taking 1408-1412.

Taking 1412-1418.

Taking 1418-1430.

Hmm... going though them faster than expected, 2k done. Taking 1430-1450. (separate reservation if possible please)
