[QUOTE=Uncwilly;401478]BTW, to any reader of this thread, I found a factor for an exponent in this range a few days ago. The exponent had been assigned over 2 years ago to someone else. They had failed to do the 23 GHz-days worth of work to take it from 75 to 76 during that whole period. That is a 4900 GHz-days LL test. There have been several more like this.

If my slow climb taking the lowest exponents up to the next bit level over runs assignments that are over a year old, I don't feel guilty. For quite some time I had avoided those assigned. Having looked at the status of the first 1000 that are assigned to LL or P-1, greater than 3/4ths have not had a check-in in a year. Most of those have not checked in since the exponent was assigned.[/QUOTE]I have further noticed one person in particular has a bunch of TF assigned to them. They picked up a bunch earlier this year and are not making progress on them. I have found factor on numbers that they have had assigned for ~5 months and have failed to take from 73 to 74.

And these are not those assigned to GPU72

You are talking about "Siarhei P.", of course, who currently has 560 TF assignments in the 332M range (between 332340247 and 332396821 inclusive). All but one was assigned manually 2015-01-07, and then updated 2015-03-20 (the outlier is the first one).

My "take away" on this is perhaps we should start a discussion on an appropriate recycling policy for the 332M range. Much like we did (successfully in my mind) for the DC and LL ranges.

I'm running some tests. Please forgive me if some of this doesn't make sense...

Interesting...

Under Firefox (using Linux) there's a message which says (in a large grey rectangle) "A plugin is needed to display this content.

Under Chrome (using Linux) this content renders reasonably. Doesn't do full screen, mind you, but who running Open Source actually expects to have a good experience without a fight?

We don't appreciate, but expect, our commercial overlords.

Edit: I want my MTV.

Have you tried Opera? Can't attest to Linux, but under Bill Gates it does ok. It also take things like AdBlock that are designed for FF.

Uncwilly, If I were to put some [GPU] factoring effort on 100M digit range, what ranges would you suggest?

[QUOTE=ET_;403642]Uncwilly, If I were to put some [GPU] factoring effort on 100M digit range, what ranges would you suggest?

Luigi[/QUOTE]Since GPU72™ has pulled in the available assignments in that range.... (up to around 332600000)
I would suggest that you get your assignments from it. Set 332192831 as the start of your range. Set your "Will factor to:" to your desired bit level and select "Lowest Exponent."

Anything else would be poaching. :wink:
(My "poaching" is not taking anything above 76, except the first 2 that are still below 78).

:smile:

Just to elaborate... GPU72 currently "owns" every candidate not already assigned between 332192831 and 333M and not yet TF'ed to at least 78. We currently hold nothing between 332M and 332192831 because it "Doesn't Make Sense" to do work there.

There are two Options settings on the [URL="https://www.gpu72.com/account/getassignments/lltf/"]Get LLTF Assignments[/URL] form for the 332M (AKA the 100M digit) range: "LMH Depth First" and "LMH Bit First".

Depth First is best for the project.

[QUOTE=chalsall;403662]Depth First is best for the project.[/QUOTE]And Bit-first preview [URL="http://www.gpu72.com/account/preview/200/01/0332000000/0333000000/73/6/3566/0/"]says[/URL] "[color=red]No assignments available which match your criteria.[/color]". Not sure if that's intentional.
