[QUOTE=Stargate38;287570]Also, Please fix the "Maximum of 2 parallel processing requests".[/QUOTE]

It's for people like you filling the FactorDB with useless numbers:

from your thread in the RPS forum asking for primes of Riesel-k=8675309 you're testing them like [url=http://factordb.com/index.php?id=1100000000487088490]this[/url].

Stop that please and use srsieve for sieving and LLR for finding primes instead.
Thanks.

I will stop if I can get NewPGen to accept b=8675310 in k*b^n+1 WITHOUT crashing! I want to add the primes I find to the DB! Please increase the hourly CPU limit to 1 hour.

8675309*12^21+1
8675309*12^965+1
8675309*12^3733+1
those are the first 3 i found

[QUOTE=Stargate38;287574]b=8675310 in k*b^n+1[/QUOTE]

Do you know, how fast this will grow in n?
Do you know how much digits the FactorDB can handle?

And:
for your RPS-request:
8675309*2^n-1 is prime for n=4, 40, 84, 212, 720, 1512, 9344, 44160 (tested to n=50k),
done in 15min: 5min sieving and 10min LLR-testing, this you're not able to do with only FactorDB.

I'm trying to find a Generalized Fermat Prime base 8675310. Can you tell me why NewPGen crashes when I try to sieve b^2^n+k for k=1 n=1-14 and b=8675310? 8675310^16384+1 has 113677 digits, so it's not too big to test. Why would it make NewPGen crash? How do I fix it? (See attached image on Post 1328 of this thread)

[QUOTE=Stargate38;287646]Why would it make NewPGen crash? How do I fix it?[/QUOTE]

What is your OS version? What is the version of NewPGen you're using? What are the sequence of actions leading up to the crash? What, if any, error message is shown on the screen during the crash?

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit; NewPGen 2.8.2; See the "C166 from 10^455-1" thread, post #41. I pick a name for the output file (for example: 8675310^n+1), then I set it for b^n+k with k fixed, then I set k=1, base=8675310, nmin=2, nmax=16384, and click start. It outputs the following:

[CODE]CPU capabillities: CMOV: Cupported. SSE2: Supported.
Using bitmap : allocating 2.0 Kb of RAM...
...succeeded
Sieving numbers with 14 to 113677 decimal digits
k is tiny : 8675310^2+1 = 75261003596101
Initialising sieve...
Done.
10:42:00 Starting sieve[/CODE]

After that, NewPGen crashes with the following windows message:

[CODE]NewPGen has stopped working

Try a filename without a ^

I tried 8675310n1, 8675310nplus1, 86753101, and GFN8675310, but none of them worked. I even tried 1234567891. What else could cause the error?

If you have DEP (Data Execution Prevention) enabled, add NewPGen.exe to the exception list.

It didn't say anything about DEP. Normally DEP shows a message saying "This program was shut down to protect your system" or something like that.
