Interesting, must have been luck of the draw. The 70M numbers ([URL="http://www.mersenne.org/report_exponent/default.php?exp_lo=70765103&full=1"][B][COLOR=#000080]70765103[/COLOR][/B][/URL], [URL="http://www.mersenne.org/report_exponent/default.php?exp_lo=70765853&full=1"][B][COLOR=#000080]70765853[/COLOR][/B][/URL]) show on gpu72 at 2014-04-12 21:15:53 whereas the other 13 numbers I submitted all showed at 2014-04-12 20:53:38. It's interesting because it was 2 cards, 2 distinct sequential submissions each with 1 70M number at the end, so the first 70M number submitted before 6 of the 69M numbers and the other 70M number was at the end, and yet the first scan picked up all of the 69M numbers and neither of the 70M numbers. It's not important - I'm glad it's working. It must have been some unusual timing with the submissions and the scan.

Thanks for the update. And, for the record, I didn't change anything for the "observations" to succeed.

This was probably a timing issue. What I refer to as a "harmonic situation" between autonomous actors; sometimes related to a "race condition", but often different.

But, please, bring any future perceived issues forward publicly. This is a very complicated machine we've communally built -- we all want to find any bugs that exist.

Last night during maintenance on my main system the power supply blew out (including a nice smoke display).


Unfortunately, I don't have the money to continue replacing parts so this system will stay offline. That's ~1400 Ghz/days down.

@Chris: Since I don't have access to the drive now, it will take a few days to know which assignments are stuck on the system. I'll move them to a working system when I can regenerate the work file.

Ah, heck... Sorry to hear of your loss -- it's always sad when the "Magic Blue Smoke" leaks out....

OK, thanks for the heads up for resource planning.

Thankfully the Cat4 recycling is now happening in earnest (about 600 or so candidates a day on average), so we should still be able to pull ahead again. But if anyone has any additional firepower they can bring to bear in the LL TF range, it would be very appreciated....

Assuming I can run them 24/7 that would be 500GHd/d, but I don't think I can promise that I'll be running 24h/d. Still, it's something.

When asking for LL-TF work, if I enter a starting number, like say 332190000, GPU72 does not automatically update the previews. It used to. It takes selecting Lowest Exponent (or the like) to get it to update. Don't know if this is feature or not.

I have usually found it necessary to click in any other field, after entering data in a particular one, to get the entry to be included. It amounts to a refresh.

[QUOTE=kladner;371096]I have usually found it necessary to click in any other field, after entering data in a particular one, to get the entry to be included. It amounts to a refresh.[/QUOTE]That used to work. I have to click on one of the block of four choices in the drop down.

Nice! :smile:

Still seems to work as it was for me. The exception is that, if the drop-down is in the default "WMS" choice, no entry makes any difference except number of assignments.

Thanks! Every bit helps.... :smile:
