[QUOTE=garo;329024]You definitely should. I have converted 5 cores from DC to P-1.[/QUOTE]

I will. :smile: Most of the [strike]machines[/strike] minions don't have enough memory, but I think I have 12 cores that have enough, the rest of them... nope... at least not now, that's why they're doing DC. :smile:

Plus, you can use "MaxHighMemWorkers" to help.

Thanks doggie! :smile:

On another note, gpu72 appears down.

Interesting... We appear to be under subtle attack....

Edit: From Germany no less. 81.30.156.103.

512MB is sufficient to do a good P-1.

I only have six 73-bit assignments left at the moment, so I've decided to finish them first. In the meantime, I've converted all four cores of my i7-3770 to P-1. I'll probably do the same for one or two of the Sandy Bridge machines at work tomorrow.

I've been trial factoring with an HD 6410D and I typically reserve 5 exponents at a time, completing them in just under a week at 20GHz Days/Day.

Am I completing this work too slowly? Should I take less work? Five exponents is almost nothing but with this "rush" you've had I would like to make sure.

Your GPU can only do a certain amount, and ALL cycles donated to the project are welcomed. I don't think that 5 assignments a week is a huge amount to have on hand. There are plenty more where they came from, so nobody is starving for work because of you. I would not worry about it. :smile:

Haha, no, I didn't imagine I was hogging the work; only that I might be delaying the release of a range back to PrimeNet, though that may not be how that works. I thought it might be possible that a range is only released when all exponents within that range has been completed.

I believe I have my answer though. :smile: It's unlikely to be of any consequence.

[QUOTE=Jayder;329069]I thought it might be possible that a range is only released when all exponents within that range has been completed.[/QUOTE]

Nope -- it's on a candidate by candidate basis once it's been taken to the appropriate TF level.

And, welcome to the project! :smile:

[QUOTE=chalsall;328977]I'm going to leave the default settings at 72 for at least another day to make sure we've got a few more days of lead time, then I'll move it back up to 73.[/QUOTE]

OK, so everyone knows, the default pledge level is back up to 73.

Also, the change to the system WRT MISFIT users has been made. Anyone who's "Option" setting is "What Makes Sense" will be assigned work to 73 regardless of what the pledge level is.

Again, anyone who instead wants to only go to 72 or 71, simply change the Option to anything else. Human interaction with the form remains the same, including the use of WMS. As in, if a human pledges to, for example, 72 that's what will be assigned for all Options including WMS.
