[B]What is the purpose of saving the index and how?

Example:
You jump from TEST 228 RUN 3 index=2901 to TEST 229...
and this TEST 229 is a dead end (avoid RUN6 , it takes to many time in Phase 2) ..then you can go directly to TEST 228 RUN1 index=latest stand. PRIMO start automatic a backtrack and go to TEST 228 RUN3 index=2903.

How do I save the index?
In a table per hand.

Is it after one of the runs i.e. run 3 found the next test, do I save the index of run 1 and run 2 before stopping it and going to the next test found by run 3???[/B]

Yes.

[B]What is a delta?
PRIMO call it index for RUN 1..5, for RUN 6 is it delta


Also I tried to use one of the core to run Phase 2 but it seems to just set there. When I took off the " - " on test 1, it jumped to test 2 bypassing test 1.

Edit the nearest newest tmp-file and set "pe=2" and take off all "-"
of your done TESTs in Phase 2. Copy the new ready point ,like [3],[4]...[10]... in a advance certificate. Attach it in logical order.
Kill in every ready TEST in Phase 2 "sf=" and "pm="

In your case, you set only pe=2. PRIMO can calculate the first 228 TEST..and it takes a while.

So Norman, as long as the certification is moving from one test to another then it is working correct??

Well test 229 have to run (6) delta.:cry: Run 1..3 just jumped to the next run. I saved the index on excel for run 4 (index 195984)and run 5 (index 36479).

Now for Phase 2. With the most current *.temp test 229, all I have to do is change pe=1 to pe=2 and let it run? It will eventually move from test 1 to test 2???

Do I need any of the other files to run Phase 2 or just the *.temp file???

YES !

Oh ! RUN 6 is bad, but it is okay.

When you look up to the end of the tmp file , in your case "TEST 228"
then you will see, where PRIMO found the parameters for TEST 229.
It is rn=6 ( the RUN ) and pm=*** ( that is the index number +2, for backtracking ). Theoretical you can notice rn and pm in TEST[228] Phase 1 and delete complete in the tmp-file TEST 228. Set "TestCount=227" and
set to begin ar=rn of 228 amd ap=pm of 228 , ar=rn+1 and ap=1 for core 2 and so on. Make a secure copy of the old tmp-file. Also you can try
another point with rn=4 and rn=5 with the TEST 228 tmp-file. There are good chances.

Now for Phase 2.
With the most current *.temp test 229, all I have to do is change pe=1 to pe=2 and let it run?

YES !


It will eventually move from test 1 to test 2???

PRIMO start with Phase 2 on TEST 1

Do I need any of the other files to run Phase 2 or just the *.temp file???

No, just the tmp-file you need.

....

Okay Norman you are right, I changed pe=1 to pe=2 to run Phase 2 and just let it run. Now after 18 hours it is on test 3.:smile:

Now the big question. Test 229 moved to Test 330 by running run 6 or delta. I decided to just continue what I was doing for Test 330 and started running run1..4 where all 4 completed and moved to the next run. I am now on run 5 and run 6 and both are still running after 19 hours. Question is if run 5 moves to the next test Test 331, is it okay to continue normally? If run 6 or delta moves to Test 331, what do I do? After 19 hours is it okay to continue and let the test run or should I go back to a previous test like test 227 or 228?

I don't understand. TEST 230 or 330 ?
Have you edit the primo.ini and add
[Setup+]
MSC=26
?
With MSC=26 you have much more possibilities to finished a TEST.
Avoid RUN 6 ! It takes to many times in Phase 1 and 2.
Is RUN 1 2,3 done then start RUN 4 , 5 and a previous way , like TEST 229 , RUN 1 or 2 or 3 ( a RUN which is not done ) ,index = latest stand of the RUN which not done.


"Question is if run 5 moves to the next test Test 331, is it okay to continue normally?"

Yes, you start TEST 331 with RUN = 1,2,3...
Note, prior you can test a TEST , whether PRIMO start automatic RUN 2 or 3, So you can start with RUN 1 and 3, 4. 2 is most automatic.

"If run 6 or delta moves to Test 331, what do I do? After 19 hours is it okay to continue and let the test run or should I go back to a previous test like test 227 or 228?"

You go back, is RUN 1,2,3,4 and 5 a dead run. For <20000 bit numbers is
every 30th TEST a dead run.

I'm glad of your decision :smile: !

Ooops typo error.:smile: This is what I type in "Setup+]
MSC=20..26 ". I suppose it should have been MSC=26, changing it now.:sick:

Okay Test 229 have run 4 and run 5 not completed. I will backtrack to those 2 runs and hopefully it finds another path to the next test.

I will also continue to run 5 test 230 hoping it also moves to the next test.

Okay, so you can building slow the final certificate. You can copy the first 2 TEST and delete the sf= and pm=

Copy your tmp-file to an out file.

Like:

"

BTW, 2^38090+47269" is very brutal. A single task will take 1 month to complete all 6 RUNs of the first TEST.

I am not sure what you mean by doing this? Also this procedure is for later when Phase 2 has done more test??

You must remember I am on just moving from test to test right now.:smile: One step at a time unless it is necessary to prevent problems 2 months later.:grin:

And you know what you are doing.:geek:

Okay Test 230 run 5 is still running index 119340. Test 229 run 4 and run 5 are running again picking up from the index recorded on my excel.

I hope one of the runs find the path to the next test.

I mean it is a little training:smile:. The first 2 TESTs of Phase 2 are done, so you have a tiny part of the certification now.

You should append all TESTs of Phase 2 in the finally file. The finally file you get, when you copy the actual tmp-file to *.out.
Delete all lines from [X] to the end of file.
Insert the done TESTs of Phase 2 after "BinarySize=" line in logical order.
