[QUOTE=Primeinator;176791]Very nice... I wish my computer would run that fast. Is 11pm Central Standard Time on Saturday still predicted to be when the first of the double checks will be completed?[/QUOTE]

Yesterday T.Rex said 12:20AM CST for his test, and my rough estimation for mine was 12:00AM CST (though I rounded to the nearest hour). Redoing my extrapolation down the minute, my predicted time of finish is also 12:20AM CST.

Eh. I will still be up at that time. Kevin, how fast can your PC complete LLs if you are running one on each core and the exponents are in the range of 45M?

Wouldn't know. Normally half the cores are doing P-1 factoring and half the cores are doing sub-33M first-time tests. I've been avoiding the 40M+ tests as long as possible...

[QUOTE=ewmayer;176790]Amazing, this modern science. ;)[/QUOTE]

Perhaps you could tell us again how sheep's bladders can be employed to prevent earthquakes Sir Bedevere

Okay. I take it you're not looking for the next "big one."

THAT sounds intriguing.

'Tis spelt "Bedevere", my liege ... but yes, this is a most fascinating issue your lordship raises. You see, it occurred to me that the phenomenon of my herd of sheep spontaneously emptying their collective bladders (or was it 'respective bladders'?) and earthquakes invariably occurred simultaneously, i.e. that the longstanding mystery which was spontaneous sheep-herd bladder-emptying was in fact related to a specific rare (leastways in these parts) natural phenomenon, my lord. Since it is clear that a normal schedule of quasi-random sheep bladder-emptying is not enough to cause an earthquake, it occurred to me that it must be simultaneous voiding which triggers the temblor. So the solution was to use a staggered sheep-watering schedule and an odd cork stopper ...

Should I be having visions of halftime during the Super Bowl?

So that's 6:20 British time? I might make a special effort to get up early :smile:

I believe so.

Please tell me you are not referring to the so called "wardrobe malfunction" from some years ago.

Nope, the urban legend that sewers have overflowed from so many people watching the Super Bowl on TV simultaneously using the bathroom at half-time.

[QUOTE=philmoore;176787]What I find exciting is that his run on 4 cores is progressing almost as fast as Tony's 16-core Itanium run. Granted, the Itanium is an older machine, but 9.5 days is a good time either way. I need a quad core too, now![/QUOTE]This old Itanium2 machine has several Numa factors... meaning that 16 cores is not 2 times faster than 8 cores, not at all... And Glucas is written in C, no assembly. I played a few with Prime95 on 8x Nehalem, and scalability was not very good (due to the fact that Prime95 is already very efficient on 1 or 2 cores).
