Will you be able to know the result when it finishes or will you have to wait until Monday when you go back to work?

[QUOTE]Oh, this is good news, I think. If that means what I think it means, then we (the unwashed masses) are currently being duped by a false zero residue? That is more like what I expect to see from the GIMPS guys. [/QUOTE]

Very sly :smile:

Is it this Nehalem EX they have presented a few days ago? Where did you get it?

Really? Retina was duped?

[QUOTE=jinydu;176561]Really? Retina was duped?[/QUOTE]Hehe, as is normal for me, always getting things backward. But, fortunately, I have my disposable henchmen to take the falls for me and always make me look good :evil:

[QUOTE=Primeinator;176547]Will you be able to know the result when it finishes or will you have to wait until Monday when you go back to work?[/QUOTE]I've put in place a mail robot. So that George, Guillermo, Rob and Jeff will be warned automatically.

[QUOTE=joblack;176551]Is it this Nehalem EX they have presented a few days ago? Where did you get it?[/QUOTE]I really don't know which one it is. Many companies are playing with Nehalem now. My [URL="http://www.bull.com/products/servers.html"]company [/URL]is working with Intel since ages. With IBM too. My colleagues are very good at [URL="http://www.bull.com/hpc/index.html"]HPC [/URL]too.
But hush...

This means that I may find the results of the LL before turning in for bed on Saturday night provided that George is still up and in the mood to post the great news to the world on the main page. :smile:

I manually reserved the exponent as a double-check through Primenet, so you should be able to see the results of my test immediately after it finishes. Even if T.Rex's test finishes first, you might be able to get the (hopefully) good news sooner that way.

[QUOTE=T.Rex;176132]Thanks to [URL="http://www.oxixares.com/glucas/"]Guillermo Ballester Valor[/URL] work and Ernst Mayer, we have 2 other Mersenne prime checkers.
I started 24h after you Kevin, and you say you are about 24h slower than me. So we'll end the check at about the same time: Sunday 14th.
Jeff (Gilchrist) should end his check about 5 days after us (if everything's fine for all of us, for sure).
Is there anyone else who is running a verification of this candidate ?
Ernst (Mayer), are you around ?[/QUOTE]

Yes, but not around *here* - I posted my "latest update" (reporting that rerun of the last few K iterations from the user's last savefile indicates primality) over the weekend to the [url=http://mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?p=176581#post176581]Holy St. Lucas! thread[/url] in the Lounge, completely missed that this thread even existed.

Anyway, as Rob mentioned, I and the Mod Squad at Sun were about a day delayed in starting our DC - we never got around to finding the time to dig into the multithreaded-code performance issue that is hurting the speed of non-power-of-2 FFT lengths with many threads, so are (as with the previous DC of M43112609) using 4096K with 16-threads, and getting ~0.018 seconds per iteration at that much-larger-than-needed FFT length. Thanks, Rob, for tracking down the Big Iron hardware for the parallel verify run.

Awesome. What is your user ID for Primenet? Just Kevin?
