You think that is bad, S992 is the worst of all for CK < 1000. With a CK=332, it has 62 k's remaining at n=[B]5K[/B]! Ian reserved it about a week ago.

The 2nd worst (and worst still open for reservation) is R878 with a CK=292. It has 56 k's remaining at n=5K.

There is nothing else even remotely close to these 2 bases for any CK < 1000; and that includes bases that have already been reserved and/or tested to n=25K. They are why I choose to test upward by # of k's remaining at n=5K instead of CK.

Most of the low-lying fruit has now been tested or reserved.

Mark,

Ian has already tested S628 to n=25K. See [URL]http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=242765&postcount=955[/URL].

Sorry...I guess we didn't get it removed from the bases remaining to be tested list when it was reserved previously.

Edit: One thing that I thought was strange on this that I just now noticed: You said that these 4 bases take care of all Sierp CK bases < 1000. S628 has a CK = 1072. Did you mean some other base?

Anyway, I'll now go on sieving the remaining k values and test them as far as I can. 25K at least.

gd_barnes 2011-01-21 20:54

Peter,

Everything looks good. There are no MOB for this particular base. As points of future reference: (1) It's easier for us if you attach the k's remaining and primes in a single zip file to the post. The lists can get very long. (2) I won't show anything on the pages until the search depth has reached at least n=10K.

Thanks for the work! :smile:

Welcome to CRUS Mattyp! As long as you are aware that your reservations will take several CPU months, it seems fine to us. You can use srsieve followed by sr1sieve for sieving and either PFGW or LLR for testing.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Good luck!

[QUOTE=Mattyp101;248689]:grin: Why thank you.

I'm also going to take all 13 k's of S1021 for n=25K-100K[/QUOTE]

Mostly out of curiosity: How many cores do you have? How many cores are you planning to put towards the two things you've reserved? Looks like a whole lot of work to me, but I know how some people have dozens or hundreds of cores at their command. :smile:
By the way, in case you're not familiar with it, such a range (i.e. >2 k's) would be best sieved by srsieve to start (if the sieve wasn't started already) and then sr2sieve for the sieving (for 1 or 2 k's, sr1sieve is usually best). Between running srsieve and sr2sieve, (or at any time, really) you might also want to run [URL="http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?p=209045#post209045"]this hiddenpowers script[/URL] (be sure to read the documentation and note the sieve file must be NewPGen-like, i.e. each line being like "k n") to remove some numbers that have algebraic factors and can't be prime.

Mattyp101 2011-01-23 13:08

I have a quad core, at 3.4 GHz, running 24/7, but could put on an extra 4 if it comes to it. By my estimates (very rough estimates), the multi k range will take around two months, possibly less if I find many factors. Thanks for the tip about the script. Wouldn't the factors just be found by one of the sieving programs anyway?

TimSorbet 2011-01-23 13:17

[QUOTE=Mattyp101;248695]Thanks for the tip about the script. Wouldn't the factors just be found by one of the sieving programs anyway?[/QUOTE]

No, because the factorizations found are often a significant fraction of the size of the number, whereas the sieve depth is a tiny portion of it.

gd_barnes 2011-01-23 19:05

As a rough estimate, I would say that your 2 efforts combined will take ~1 CPU year (possibly longer) or ~3 months on a quad running 24x7. These larger bases take much longer at the same n-range than much smaller bases.

Tim, since he is running the Sierp side, there are unlikely to be any k's where algebraic factors can remove some of the n's. The only small exception, since neither base is a perfect cube or higher power, would be if any of the k's were a perfect cube or higher power (upon a quick glance, I don't see any). Personally I wouldn't suggest that he mess with it until he's run the conjectures a little more.

Mattyp, one hint that I always give new people: It's very easy to reserve way too much and then get bored before the effort is done. Please do not bite off more than you can chew. It's better to start out small and work your way up to larger reservations. I'm not making a judgment as to whether yours is too large; it's just a little friendly advice. :-)

You know what, you may be right there :smile:. Now that it's been running for a little while, it's looking like it might take a fair but longer than I thought. I probably could manage it all, but I like to move around a little. So, with that in mind, I would like to half the max n of both my reservations. That is:

S1029, n=100K-125K, and

Ah, that sounds quite manageable for a quad and allows to get your feet wet without a large commitment at this point. If you want to start out sieving larger ranges and extend your reservation later on, that would work well.

Are you sure you want to reserve so much on such high bases? Even if you prime 2 of the 4 k's fairly quicky, you're probably still looking at 5-10 CPU years of work. How about I put you down for a reservation to n=200K to start with? If you near that depth and want to continue, then you can extend the reservation. Searching bases > 1000 to n=1M is much different than searching bases < 100 to n=1M.

That's fine. I have the sieve files with candidates to 1M so whenever I get bored, I'll provide the rest of my sieve files.

R698 status
 
R698 reached n=50K. Extending reservation to 100K.

Primes from 25K to 50K:

64*698^29339-1
71*698^44086-1
94*698^47531-1
95*698^26270-1
134*698^37348-1
177*698^40043-1

That's 21K's left to eliminate...

Peter,

I usually ask that people provide the results (lresults.txt or pfgw.out) or completed_tests file for tests n>25K. Can you provide those? If they're too big to zip up and attach to a post, please Email them to me at:
gbarnes017 at gmail dot com


Thanks,
Gary

Also note: if the results are in PRPnet completed_tests.log format, they will need to be processed and sorted before they're ready for Gary. You can send those over to me (please include the original sieve file used!) at [email]max@noprimeleftbehind.net[/email] and I'll take it from there. :smile:

Puzzle-Peter 2011-02-07 18:12

It's an LLR lresults file. So I send it to Gary, right?

mdettweiler 2011-02-07 18:18

[QUOTE=Puzzle-Peter;251684]It's an LLR lresults file. So I send it to Gary, right?[/QUOTE]
Yes, correct. That also goes for PFGW results.out files and any other "manual" (not LLRnet or PRPnet) results. It's only the ones from servers that I have to process since they're listed in the order the results came in, not in the order the original sieve file had them. (That, and servers will occasionally lose a result here and there, so I check them against the original sieve file to make sure everything's there. Recent versions of PRPnet have had no problems with such lost results, but I still check them all anyway to be sure.)

Interesting. R841 and R842 both have 27 k's remaining at n=25K with much different conjectures.

There's a sieved file 150K < n < 200K for R1019 to save you some work. Maybe you don't need to go farther than 200K.

FYI:
k=144, 2116, and 4900 are eliminated by a factor of 29 on odd-n and algebraic factors on even-n and do not need to be tested.

There are no such k's on R837.

Riesel base 938 done to n=25000 and released. 17 k remain.

Edit: The files show 27k's remaining and the total k's with the 270 primes does = 297 which it should.
I'll assume a typo. Ian

gd_barnes 2011-02-17 07:27

Mark,

115*938*2223-1 is composite. It has a factor of 19.

Testing on my part found that 115*938^22223-1 is prime. It was only a lucky guess that a "2" was left out of the exponent.

I don't run primality proofs on everyone's primes, although I probably should. It just takes too much time with the # of primes that I get in on a daily bases. I only found this because I have files of primes to n=5K for many of the remaining bases with CK < 10K. It came out because with the # of primes that you have for n>5K (a total of 8), using my file of k's remaining for n<=5K (a total of 36), I showed that there should have been 28 (not 27) k's remaining. Changing k=115 to the correct prime so that there were 9 primes for n>5K put things in balance.

My question is: Why are primes being manually typed into files? That is the only explanation for a missing "2" in the exponent of a prime. I have griped about this before and have requested that people not do it. Finding this causes me to question the integrity of the k's remaining on many of your bases. How am I to know that you are not taking your file of k's remaining at n=1K and manually removing the k's found prime for n=1K-25K? I don't.

For everyone, based on this, here is a requirement for what I need in the future for testing up to n=25K:
1. A file of scripted primes and k's remaining at your nominal testing limit of n=1K or 2.5K or 5K.
2. A file of primes for n=1K (or 2.5K or 5K) to 25K.
3. Optional: A file of k's remaining at n=25K.

The files need to come directly from PFGW/LLR/PRPnet with one exception: The files can be sorted by k or n using an automated program of your choice but cannot in any other way be manipulated, manually typed in to, etc. The primes from #1 and #2 cannot be combined. There are several people that already send me separate files like the above and I'm much more comfortable with it.

If you don't include the optional file in #3, it's very easy for me to take k's remaining in #1 and subtract primes found in #2. I would actually much prefer doing that over getting manually manipulated files for smaller conjectured bases. I'd only ask for the file in #3 on large CK bases like S63 and if you have an automated way of creating them.

The math is too important and it's too easy to automate tasks to have primes manually typed into the files and potentially mess up the proofs if the k is typed incorrectly or is incorrectly removed from a k's remaining file.


Thank you,
Gary

edit...P.S. The above only applies to bases that are both scripted to a small limit and then sieved/tested to n=25K. This would exclude base 3 if it is fully scripted to n=25K, which is a common way of testing solely that base. All that I need there are primes and k's remaining.
