[quote=VBCurtis;199760]The sieve is at 45T for the entire remaining range.

From looking at the file list, you can see there are ~380 candidates per 1k file; my initial estimate of 340 was incorrect. You can calculate the rest from this.

I thought sieve was going on in the background. Thank you.

1150-1151 complete, no primes.

Reserving 1151-1153.

1151-1153 complete

I would like to reserve 1200-1300. This range will be started within 14 days.
The file can be sent to my email address. Thank you.

A 25k block would take roughly a month on a Quad. Can we give you a month's worth at a time? It's pretty certain the drive would be beyond 1200 before 3 months pass.

Taking 1153 to 1155.

Curtis,

I now have two quads and a third can be added. I don't understand why I can't reserve such range when for the last year you can verify lack of interested on this drive.
The drive has plenty of work beyond 1300 to 1400.
I will have for sure 8 cores dedicated to this drive.
I've been very helpful on ending drives like k=125, 9k's and k=105 (almost) and helping on cleaning the gaps like on k=5 and k=15, I don't understand what's the problem now.

I would like to hear from others too. Am I reserving a lot of work?


Carlos

Carlos,

My main concern was that you would leave a hole below 1200 that wouldn't be filled for along time, but Curtis appears to think this will not be the case. :smile:

The other possible objection is that there is an FFT change starting at 1312 and therefore you would be leaving candidates that are harder to test. Can I suggest that you compromise by taking 1200-1250 initially. If there is sufficient interest to close the gap below 1200, then you could take 1300-1350, otherwise you could continue with 1250-1300.

Dave

Dave,

I won't leave a hole below 1200, I am here to complete the drive.

My compromise will be to reserve a 5k chunk per core, so that would give me a 40k range, or 1200-1240. I prefer more but by this way everyone will be happy. Whatever you guys decide you must send me the range within 9 days because one of my cores which is running k=105 will dry out of work within 11 days.

Carlos

1200-1240 sounds good! I'll send you the file shortly, most likely over the coming weekend.
