[QUOTE=davieddy;334199]The only question left was "How many more bits?" This is what I have been addressing.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=chalsall;334215]Not as well, nor as authoritatively, as [URL="http://www.mersenne.ca/cudalucas.php?model=13"]James[/URL]....[/QUOTE]Did I suggest otherwise?

Well, you do seem to disagree with him, right? I mean, your forumula does not mach his, nor even intersect it at any point.

Explicitly, It's hard to say that you're not suggesting that you addressed the question as well or better than James considering you are arguing a case that is not James' and his has been out for weeks.

I thought of one more... if GPU72 had not been created to organize the GPU work, we'd still be searching for M48 today.

Someone had calculated how much GPUs have progressed GIMPS in regard to M48, and IIRC it was in the range of <30 days, which means M48 (discovered January 25) probably would have been found by now, anyway. Still, we are making a sizable contribution to GIMPS. :smile:

That's not actually true.

A quick back-of-the-envelope (OK, SQL queries and a scientific calculator) calculation [URL="http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=327756&postcount=1844"]showed that the GPU72 effort helped find M48 ~22 days earlier than it might have otherwise been found[/URL]. I posted this information shortly after the official announcement (when I myself learnt the exponent of the new MP).

We've done good, but we shouldn't claim more than we've actually achieved.

Assuming M48 fell into a user who really worked on it instead of leaving it until it expired?

Of course. But my spidering records also [URL="http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=327767&postcount=374"]allowed me to speak to this[/URL].

Two Anonymous assignments (60 days each) before finally being completed.

I think it is related to me unassigning being counted as completed.

Thought I did it right this time. I unassigned from the client only.[/QUOTE]

Not nagging ... Just in case it got lost in all the "excitement" lately.

Ha! <snark>Yeah, wtf, Chris! If you've got all this time to blah blah blah on the forums, go fix your code!!</snark>

lol lol lol.
