I think we should release 62M at 73 bits. People are being assigned LL tests in the 66M range. Clearly we are having trouble keeping the pace. A bit of breathing room is required.

Is that an order Commander? My instruments show that things are cool at 74, despite some stray impacts...

Can we wait for Captain Jean-Luc Picard (read: George) for the final authoritative order? The firing solution is programmed... (That's meant to be serious, and funny, at the same time....)

What is easy to determine is a good percentage of these assignments belong to Mr. A.Nony with no reported progress. That is a fact. Any proposed interpretation would only be a theory.
What I can not easily determine is whether most or all assigned for LL as deep as 66M are already factored to 73 or 74 bits. I leave that the the better informed.

Then why are we getting 66M exponents for testing? Where is the actual "wave" at now?(removing any that gpu72 has for tf'ing)
Just a random thought :smile:

[QUOTE=diamonddave;352216]Is there a reason that the 62M LL range at 73 bit never gets assigned?[/QUOTE]

End of the week. Answering questions here...

The 62M range does get assigned for TFing. However, those candidates without P-1 have preference because we've suddenly found ourselves with so much P-1 ability. Surfing the waves...

[QUOTE=diamonddave;352216]If one goes to the request page and leave everything with the default values, we get exponent in the 63M range to factor from 73 to 74. We need to specify the optional range min and max value to get exponent in the 62M range. :cry:[/QUOTE]

Or, on the other hand, you can simply click on the drop down menu and select "Lowest Candidate" (or the MISFIT equivalent)... This option has been available for quite some time, but only recently did it also mean "possibly already had P-1 done"....

No, don't go there. This is not him.

This is nominal.

No NO! Don't look in the box! You'll kill the CAT!:max:

That has been one of my choices for a long time. If I'm going to do last bit factoring, I'd rather it was the lowest exponents getting cleared. On the other hand, sometimes I like to take things from less than a 73 bit starting point so that I can hope to see an occasional factor. I look at the available assignments and request accordingly.

Then there's the 332.xM range..... I see that as helping out people who want to take on crazy-large LLs.

The only place I haven't gone lately is DCTF.

I really don't understand P-1. Does having more memory speed up the process or increase the range of prime factors that might be found? Having 1,000 GHz-Days of P-1 puts you in the top 100. Having 10,000 GHz-Days puts you in the top 10. Obviously we don't need very much P-1 if P-1 is keeping ahead of TF.

I do not have a strong opinion. If we are currently assigning 66M LLs that are only TFed to 73, then we should be assigning the 63Ms instead. If the 66M assignments are TFed to 2^74 and Chris believes he has the firepower to both keep ahead of the LL wavefront and get the 63Ms to 2^74, then I'm OK with holding the 63Ms back.
