S205 tested to n=100k (25-100k)

68 primes found, 76 remain

Results emailed - Base released

Reserving R228 to n=100k (25-100k) for BOINC

Reserving R106 to n=100k (25-100k) for BOINC

Reserving S231 to n=100k (25-100k) for BOINC

[QUOTE=gd_barnes;268047]R123 has been released at n=100K due to lack of activity in 6 months and response to PMs over several weeks.[/QUOTE]

Wait, that's not my reservation right? Well, I was postponing my reservation while slowly working at PRP testing the numbers.

I plan on building a very high-speed supercomputer during the summer so PRP testing for my reserved base will pick up in speed dramatically hopefully in no more than a few months. Is that ok? :smile:

No it is not your reservation.

That posting was from 2011 ??!! It refers to R123. Do you go through 5-6 years worth of posts to find stuff? lol

Your reservation is for S123, reserved on Dec. 30th 2016. I still have it reserved for you.

If you are not working on your reservation at all, you should release it. It's not a good habit to reserve a base and sit on it for many months before starting. After a few months is when I'll send out a PM asking for a status. If I don't get an update or if no work has been done then I release it.

We have a bad problem with new people coming on to the project, reserving way more than they can test, and then leaving or releasing most of their reservation. We asked you early on to make a test at n=190K and then multiply that time by the total number of candidates in the sieve file to get an idea of total test time. Have you done this and do you have an idea of how much faster this "supercomputer" will be so that you know how much time the new computer will take?

If you are working on your reservation slowly waiting for faster equipment that is fine but some reasonable progress should be seen within 4-6 months.
