[QUOTE=ATH;490210]How was the 79.3M limit chosen? It was the highest exponent possible with the highest FFT size available?[/QUOTE]

Yes. It was the highest possible expo with 4096K x87-based FFT (which used 80 bit registers and therefore supported a higher range compared to the SSE2-based FFT which had a lower range).

You seriously need to get out more.

Take a walk. This isn't really all that important.

I noticed that both of them are PRP tests and not LL tests. I wonder if there’s something weird about PRP tests and expiration dates. Are the others that you mention also PRP tests?

Right back at you.

Yeah... LOL....

I haven't figured out the PRP expirations or if/how they differ from LL assignments, so I haven't added any code to estimate their expiration date yet.

Assignment expiration discrepancies

When I check my assignments, at [URL]https://www.mersenne.org/workload/[/URL], LL tests have expiration days, PRPs don't.
Expires (days) column is empty for PRP entries. ALL PRP entries.
In fact, LL is the only type of assignment that shows expiration there.
But if I go to [URL]https://www.mersenne.org/manual_extension/[/URL], everything lists an expiration number of days (and some of them are years away; up to 960 days)
Most of the above applies to both Prime95/PrimeNet-connection, and manual reservations.

What's up with that?


FYI PRP of M79306891 will restart on a GPU in about 9 hours, and run for a few days without primenet progress indications, to completion.

Do we want a new milestone at 86,028,121? Which is the 5,000,000th prime exponent.[/QUOTE]

This new limit has now been incorporated to the milestone page.

Check out the second value. It stay ed at 79000000 last time I saw it :smile:

I don't understand what you mean by that.
