[QUOTE=chalsall;488053]...But if anyone has any resources they could allocate to LLTF'ing (preferably to at least 75 bits) it would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]


I can run 75's on this 1080. Give me an area, if the current 92 to 93 millions range is not what you need. I can do a 2[SUP]71[/SUP] to 2[SUP]75[/SUP] in 98 minutes, more or less. This is with the hardware in its factory configuration; roughly 1,050 GHz-d/day.


I had problems with Misfit and the GPUto72 batch process. I kept getting duplicate assignments. No issues with manual. I will just stick with that.

Coolness. 92M won't be needed for a couple of years; 87M is where the "crunch" is currently (because of the P-1'ers, who are nipping at our heels).

If you choose the "What Makes Sense" option to 75 bits, that would be great! Thanks.

Weird. As mentioned, GPU72 will never give out duplicate assignments with the exception of where a candidate is assigned and then unreserved. But if manual is working for you and you don't mind doing it, great!

P.S. Just so you know, the difference between "What Makes Sense" and "Let GPU72 Decide" is the former will never give work past the pledged TF level, while the latter sets the pledge level. Why? Historical design decision.

I have some queued for when the 74bit assignments run out on one of two workers (~320 GHzd/d each) on a GTX 1060. The 460 (220 Gd/d) has some lined up after the current assignment.

I did not pay attention, at first, and was given 75-76 work. I have run one of those, and am going to unload the rest when I'm sure of their status.

Done and done. It gave me assignments in the 87.7M range. 2[SUP]74[/SUP] to 2[SUP]75[/SUP]. [I]mfaktc[/I] tells me 58 minutes each.

I look at the work distribution map several times a week. I noticed a lot of work being done in this area. LL is close, in the 85's, and P-1 is being ran now in the 87's.

We're under a crunch!
 

Hey all. Just a quick update, and a plea!

We've been slowly loosing ground to the Primenet P-1'ers. They've been gaining on us for a while now, and we're currently only about a month ahead of them.

This isn't the end of the world; we can release some candidates TF'ed to "only" 75 bits to feed them, and then bring those where a factor wasn't found to take to 76 bits before releasing them again for the LL'ers.

But, this is a bit of a maintenance pain for me, and slightly less optimal for Primenet's throughput. P-1'ing takes slightly less time the higher the candidate is TF'ed.

So, if anyone has any GPU compute they'd be willing to throw GPU72's way, it would be very much appreciated.

Relatedly, those who choose "What Makes Sense" or "Let GPU72 Decide", the system will sometimes assign work to only 75 bits instead of the nominal 76, depending on the current demand vs. availability situation.

I noticed a lot of people are still trial factoring DC candidates. Perhaps you could put a message on the DC TF assignment request page?

Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll do that.

ktony has already moved most of his GPUs to LLTF'ing; I'm moving my three little GPUs up there later tonight.

There are some who specifically want to do DCTF'ing. And that's fine; it's their kit.

I've moved mine.

I dropped out of GPUto72 in February 2016 when Squirrels was submitting so much work that my contributions didn't seem very worthwhile. I had been TFing on James' >1000M site.

Since then my eight-year-old i7-970 machine went belly up after eight years (a good run) and I have since replaced it with an i7-7800X and a GTX 1080ti.

I had the old MISFIT structure still intact, so I just had to update some directory paths and copy in the the CUDA 8.0 mfaktc and dlls. It's running now. Getting about 1500 GHz-d/day from 74 to 76.

OOPS! Just realized I was running the less-classes mfaktc version which is appropriate for the short runs on James' site. As soon as the first exponent finishes processing I will stop and copy in the correct version.
