Perhaps the independent LMHs should claim ranges?
 

Hello fellow independent LMHers...

Just putting this out there for discussion...

We have less than a month's worth of 63 -> 64 "bit" factoring work left below 1B (other than below, of course, 9M).

We seem to have been well behaved towards each other, but for the next little bit there's a chance we'll "step on each other's toes".

I note that "linded" and "HBendtz" are both working up in the 900M - 1B range.

I myself, "linded" and "lindee" are currently working the 800M - 900M range.

"monst" is currently working in the 702M range, although taking the exponents up to 65.

I, additionally, also have a small percentage of my cluster working in the 500M to 700M range.

I would like to officially claim what remains in 525M - 538M, 680M - 700M, 730M - 750M and 800M - 840M which are still at 63 "bits".

Comments? Thoughts? Feedback?

I would like to claim all assignments above 840M from 63 to 64 bits for myself and linded (excepting the assignments HBendtz or others reserve through PrimeNet).

I have a lone P3 happily crunching away in the 740M-741M range, at like 0.04M/week. :spot:

Otherwise, there's little useful work for that machine these days, so I'd like to keep the range. Exponent reservation has started.

I'll leave that range alone when I pass through.

Any other ranges which anyone wants left alone, just say so. I'll post here when the above ranges are completed, "reserving" some more.

Thanks

Not much in GIMPS, anyway. If you decide to look afield when the GIMPS work runs out, I've got some small machines running ECM at 11M on 230 digit numbers. The survivors go to yoyo@home at 43M then to RSALS for SNFS factoring by BIONC users. Sometimes I have to draft yoyo@home for the 11M work because the small machines cannot keep up - I'd welcome the assistance of your lone P3.

Or, perhaps (just putting this out there) this (and other) slow and inefficient machine(s) should be brought off-line and retired; given a glorious funeral after years of dedicated (if slow and inefficient) work....

(Unless, of course, they are also serving as space heaters, file servers, routers, etc.)

Something to consider....help required elsewhere..

In a nutshell DC continues to fall farther and farther behind LL (several years). Maybe when the TF quest to 64 bits is complete and if some of you were so inclined to consider moving your big farms from TF to DC for a while the project would benefit much.

Now [B]that[/B] is an excellent idea!!! Much better than mine.

They would then be doing something truly worthwhile, and could continue to contribute to GIMPS as they did so. :smile:

OK, the above ranges will be completed within the next two days.

I would like to next reserve 710M to 730M and 650M to 680M.

Just noticed you were working in the 176-177M ranges....
I was kindof hoping you would leave the 100M range to those will small PCs....cause once sub-64 TF are gone many 32-bit architecture PCs thruput will drop in half.

:ermm:

Only for a few hours... Had to do an emergency server upgrade, so I redirected my proxy domain's A record to CNAME to PrimeNet so my cluster could keep working.

NP....I will take the following as evidence of server maintenance.

OK. These ranges will be finished in about 30 hours.

I would like to next reserve 610M to 650M, which will take me about five days to complete.

OK. This range is now complete.

Since there's nothing left above 198M at 63 "bits" not claimed and/or reserved by others, my cluster has begun regular LMH-TF and DC work.

It's been fun guys.... :smile:

Another milestone....congrats....and yes it has been fun.

RIP - 32 bit architecture :cry:

[QUOTE=petrw1;223955]RIP - 32 bit architecture :cry:[/QUOTE]

Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, IMHO...

Just so you all know, I've invested a bit of work over the "Crop Over" long weekend here in Bim, and have implemented SNMP on all my clients' machines where I have a Linux machine I can use for SNMP "Gets". ("SpeedFan" and "SpeedFan SNMP Extension" for anyone interested. Bloody M$ don't expose such machine-health data natively.)

Thus, I'm able to bring approximately 150 cores over to DC work, rather than just 75, leaving most of the last of the 63 -> 64 "bit" factoring work to others.

Now that´s good news!

[QUOTE=chalsall;223951]Since there's nothing left above 198M at 63 "bits" not claimed and/or reserved by others, my cluster has begun regular LMH-TF and DC work.[/QUOTE]Can I put in a small request?
What do you think about having you cluster working on range from 332,400,000 to 332,999,999? Just marching them up one bit level at a time until what ever level suits you, maybe 70. Then working on the 333,xxx,xxx range.

In he attached, you can see the percentage of exponents that have been factored out. I would love to drive that up for the early parts of the 100M digit range.

:smile:

OK. I've configured my cluster controller to spend part of its time to begin by bringing 332.7M to 333M up to 67, and 333M to 334M up to 66.
