I thought AIDS you can't get by doing manual...
This reminds me of an interview with [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigore_Moisil"]The Big Man[/URL], many years ago on the Romanian television. He was talking about "how the world will look in the future", and he was amazing right in predicting how the computers and computer science in general will evolve in the next 50 years, at a time when noone knew what a computer is, and even most of the scientists used to call them "automata". He launched in some explanations about how all the things will change in 50 years (what we can really see today), with personal computers in every house, industrial robots, robots in the house and processors in your car (even that time they were not called processors) and so on. And almost all the human activities will become more or less automatized. At a point, the girl running the show interrupted him and asked something like (sorry for my bad English, I can not really translate that without losing some of the meaning): "Professor, how about the love? How do you see the love in the future?", and with his unbeatable smile, he instantly replied "Sorry to say, little lady, but the love has been, it is, and it will remain in the future... manual".

[QUOTE=petrw1;278765]1. Can you post the "as of time" on the pages/reports (at least worker progress).

2. Speaking of time could you use GMT so your time is in the same time zone as PrimeNet.[/QUOTE]

Done. Current time is shown in the upper left hand corner of all pages. All time stamps (Assigned, Completed) are now UTC.

[QUOTE=Dubslow;278830]I meant that the method won't work for me because I usually put things in out of order. That's why I said "I've been adding stuff out of order..." in response to the discussion about worktodo.add[/QUOTE]

Then you get to do plan B :smile:

1. Stop Prime95 (mprime)
b) Add the lines to worktodo.txt
III: Start Prime95

[QUOTE=Dubslow;278870]@Chuck: I would be, but I know at least petrw1 and I are already on another mersenneforum.org related team (admittedly just a team for team's sake, not any real affiliation.) petrw1, your thoughts?[/QUOTE]

Sorry, I have to stay with my current Team as I created it.
Besides without a GPU my contributions are on the low end anyway.

Another thought: I assume (or ASS-U-ME) the purpose of forming a GPUto72 team would be to capture/report its contribution to GIMPS;
However...there is no way for the server to distinguish work I do for GPUto72 vs any other work I do.

[QUOTE=Chuck;278835]Another item. I haven't paid much attention to teams on this site. Would there be any interest in forming a GPUTO72 team?[/QUOTE]

Cute idea. :smile:

I have created the team "GPU to 72" if anyone wants to join....

Short question: How does mfaktc reacts when it finds a factor?

(long version) I am specially interested if it prints something on the screen in real time (that is, when the factor was found, and not after the bit level or class is finished, and I don't care about the result.txt file, in fact it should be better to save the factors found in another file, as the result.txt is repeatedly deleted by my script after every report). So I am interested only if it prints something on screen in real time. Obviously I did not find any factor yet...

[QUOTE=chalsall;278946]Cute idea. :smile:

As of last report:

245 GPU to 72 1.006

Looking at the source code (for mfakto admittedly, but mfaktc should be similar), it prints the exact same thing to results.txt and the screen at the same time (assuming you have it flagged to stop when it finds a factor):

[QUOTE]if((mystuff->mode == MODE_NORMAL) && (mystuff->stopafterfactor >= 2))
{
fprintf(resultfile, "found %d factor(s) for M%u from 2^%2d to 2^%2d (partially tested) [%s %s]\n", factorsfound, exp, bit_min, bit_max, MFAKTO_VERSION, kernelname);
printf( "found %d factor(s) for M%u from 2^%2d to 2^%2d (partially tested) [%s %s]\n", factorsfound, exp, bit_min, bit_max, MFAKTO_VERSION, kernelname);
}
else
{
if(mystuff->mode == MODE_NORMAL) fprintf(resultfile, "found %d factor(s) for M%u from 2^%2d to 2^%2d [%s %s]\n", factorsfound, exp, bit_min, bit_max, MFAKTO_VERSION, kernelname);
if(mystuff->mode != MODE_SELFTEST_SHORT)printf( "found %d factor(s) for M%u from 2^%2d to 2^%2d [%s %s]\n", factorsfound, exp, bit_min, bit_max, MFAKTO_VERSION, kernelname);
}
}
else
{
if(mystuff->mode == MODE_NORMAL) fprintf(resultfile, "no factor for M%u from 2^%d to 2^%d [%s %s]\n", exp, bit_min, bit_max, MFAKTO_VERSION, kernelname);
if(mystuff->mode != MODE_SELFTEST_SHORT)printf( "no factor for M%u from 2^%d to 2^%d [%s %s]\n", exp, bit_min, bit_max, MFAKTO_VERSION, kernelname);
}[/QUOTE]

[CODE]M57863357 has a factor: 1070462947405609894111
found 1 factor(s) for M57863357 from 2^69 to 2^70 [mfaktc 0.17-Win barrett79_mul32][/CODE]
I believe it prints the same to standard out as well as results.txt

This example is one of the ones that iconized found (the only factors I had handy)

[QUOTE=chalsall;278690]

It's in the works. But it's going to be a few more days.
I have "real" work which has to be done too.... :smile:[/QUOTE]

Fair enough. I didn´t mean to be pushy, by any means...

[QUOTE=lycorn;278974]Fair enough. I didn´t mean to be pushy, by any means...[/QUOTE]

Not taken as pushy. It's a legitimate question.

Currently, "GPU to 72" releases back to PrimeNet exponents once LL candidates have been TFed to at least 72 "bits" (or DC candidates to 69), and have been P-1ed.

Over this weekend the system will keep the lowest 100 candidates for both LL and DC available for reassignment to trusted LL / DC Workers. The rest will simply be released back to PrimeNet to assign as it deems appropriate (read: "first come, first served").

We will adjust the numbers held as we get a feel of the "firepower" available.
