Good news, I will extended my PRIMO record and I take the number "2^38090+47269" :smile:

Now I'm on TEST 4 , 38029/38091.

Good job Norman. You'll probably finish before I do.:smile: I got stuck on a few test and just broke out of it to test 260. I ran into test 257 and almost completed all 5 runs and ending up backtracking to test 256 twice. Each time it backtracked and found the next test it was a different bit. Finally found the good test and moved thru test 258.:grin:

Sounds good ! I believe , you are now on 19900 bit. 5 days ago on 20600 bits. Save all ways and take ever the way with the lowest bit.
Well done !

Norman I am moving along and on Test 303/19010bit. My phase 2 test is on test 22 also moving along.

I think I got the Phase 1 rhythm of saving the new test/*.tmp to backup, over writing the old *.tmp with the new test *.tmp and running run 1..5. Luckily I have not done any Run 6/delta. Run 1..5 have always managed to jump to the next test or I was able to go back to a previous test and move up to the next test from there.:smile: Now it is just waiting for the 950 odd phase 1 test to complete.

Question on phase 2, my current *.tmp running phase 1 is only up to test 229. As I stated I am now on test 303. What is the best way to multi task phase 2 if I have another core??

Should I copy/append test 230 to the end of test 229 or on a different folder with a different core start phase 2 on test 230???

Which is better, delete test 1..229 or take out [B]Type=-4 [/B]up to test 229and run pe=2/phase 2?

I know you said we need to copy all of the completed/ready test to a pre-certificate file prior to merging all files and running the certification. Thanks.:smile:

BTW , there are 4 Types :smile:.

No! You can't delete any TESTs ! So you will destroy the certificate.

Create for each core a new directory, like Phase2_1,Phase2_2 ...
Put in all PRIMO files include the tmp-file you will split.

To begin , save all done Phase2 TEST [1..22] in a "master"-file.

Example: a second core will also calculate Phase 2.
- Copy the tmp-file,like the TMP-file with TEST [1..228] to \Phase2_2
- Kill the "-" of each Type=-? [1..4] for TEST [1] to TEST[100], set pe=2

- start PRIMO, Primo did start Phase 2 at TEST 101
- When you calculate TEST 230 , 231,... then kill the "-" FOR TEST 1 to TEST 229 , set pe=2 and compare the S$ of TEST 229 old file with the new tmp-file. Is it equal , so okay . Is not, so was on TEST 229 a backtrack and look then TEST 228, 227 and so on.

That is very GOOD thing to know.:bow:

Okay I am doing that now.:smile:

BTW , I'm now at TEST 16..37802/38091.

When you work correct, you should be done with Phase 1 at 31th december 09:smile:

I hope so.:smile: test 304/19006bit as we speak. Might be a few days later since When I am not by the computer I prp for FOB on this computer.

I wonder, only TEST 22 of Phase 2.
What is the CPU- type of your multicore PC ?

Actually it is on test 32 now but phase 2 cores are being done on older Pentium 4 and soon AMD X2 4600+. I see no rush on it unless I am close to test 900 on phase 1. Phase 1 cores are on Q6600.

My plan Norman is when this *.tmp completes Phase 2 test 50, I will stop it. Save the *.tmp file to the Pre-certificate folder. This *.tmp was with the test completed up to test 229.

Copy the newest *.tmp which is done up to test 303 and break it down to 50 test each and run 2 cores each on the Intel P4 and AMD X2. Hopefully I will catch up enough to Phase 1 test so that I can merge it as soon as possible. There should be no problem as long as I am using the same *.tmp files correct??

Yes, it is correct.
