Reminds me of the Epic Rap Battle between Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein. Hawking says he's going to "drop mad apples on his head from the shoulders of giants" and Einstein's comeback, is, well... Just see for yourself.

For those using the GPU72 Proxy for P-1 work...
 

Just a heads up...

I don't know how long Primenet is going to be offline (hopefully not long), but for those who use the GPU72 Proxy to get P-1 work, and have your machines collect only a small number of assignments, please be aware that the way Prime95/mprime works means that they won't get additional assignments from GPU72 until Primenet is back up.

The reason is that the client's send "Update Computer" messages about once a day, which the Proxy sends onto Primenet for fulfillment. Since an error message is currently being returned from Primenet, this is then sent back to the client which then doesn't communicate further.

Thus, it would be advisable to manually get a few P-1 assignments from GPU72 to ensure your P-1 workers are "fed".

Unfortunately, DC and LL assignments are no longer available from GPU72 manually, so such workers might "go hungry" until Primenet comes back online.

Edit: Never mind... Immediately after I posted this Primenet came back online! Thanks George and Scott!!! :smile:

Taking LL Cat1 and Cat2 candidates to 74...
 

Just a heads up...

As we're now finally "ahead of the wave" for Cat4, and well ahead for Cat3, I thought it would be worthwhile to start bringing the current Cat1 and Cat2 candidates up to 74 since we have the fire power, and James' analysis suggests this [URL="http://www.mersenne.ca/cudalucas.php?model=12"]Makes Sense [SUP][SUP]TM[/SUP][/SUP][/URL] for LLTF'ing.

Currently this is only available by way of the automated assignment spiders (and only for those who choose "Let GPU72 Decide"), as it takes me only a few minutes to implement same. This weekend I will make this work-type available via the GPU72 manual assignment page.

For anyone who doesn't want to do such low and deep work, simply change your settings from LGD to WMS, or any other setting. Those who run [URL="http://www.mersenne.ca/cudalucas.php?model=564"]Titan's[/URL] might want to consider doing so, as the optimal curves cross at lower levels. The same with those who run ATI/AMD kit.

And, please, let me know if anyone thinks doing this is sub-optimal.

Perfect timing, I'm just finishing the last 25 of 1000 assignments I picked up, so I can get back to my [url=http://www.mersenne.ca/tf1G.php?available_assignments=1]pet project[/url]. So you'll be losing whatever limited firepower I've given over the last couple months, sorry.

No apology needed.

Thanks for your effort and work.

I may be buying my first 580 tonight to dedicate to TF. They're getting really cheap now. My work machine could support three, but I'm not sure I also want to spring for a 1 kW PSU.
