[QUOTE=bcp19;288589]I was wondering, seeing as we are starting to 'knock on the door' of DC exp's to take to ^70, is it possible to set up a check box to get 'default' limits so if there happen to be any ^69 exp's they are picked up as ^69 and the ^70's as ^70's?[/QUOTE]

OK, I've added the same options for the DCTF assignments page as on the LLTF -- Lowest TF level, Highest TF level, Lowest Exponent, Oldest Reserved (from PrimeNet) and "What Makes Sense".

I've also changed the default Pledge level to 70, but people can of course lower this to 69 if they want. If the Pledge is 70 and "What Makes Sense" is the option, then only candidates above 29.69M will be assigned.

[QUOTE=KyleAskine;288630]Oh no, it just hard locked (as Linux tends to do when the video driver explodes). All hardware is fine.

I got a touch too aggressive with my O/C, and I didn't watch it long enough to see if it was fine.[/QUOTE]
That's good, but frustrating. I feel for you.

When I've had hard locks, it was usually about 30 minutes after the last time I had looked at the machine.

I was sad because this peculiar P-1 find could have been found with TF in about the same time (and a tad more GHz)

Ah... Gottcha.

However, it is important to remember that this "game" is all about the aggregate statistics and probabilities. Where do the "curves" cross?

While in this particular case your above is true, over the full set it isn't.

Just a note...

So everyone knows, we are currently [B][I][U]well[/U][/I][/B] ahead of the DC "wave-front".

However, we're still working deep within the LL "wave", although pulling ahead.

Thus, I have made a note on the DCTF assignment page suggesting that workers consider doing LLTF work instead.

As always, I'm a strong believer in the GIMPS philosophy that people should do the work they enjoy doing. However, please know that at this point in time the best thing for GIMPS is LLTF work, not DCTF work.

should I unreserve my DCTF (upon completion of my current) work and do LLTF? (2 29M and 25 30M)

Entirely up to you.

This is simply an observation on what is best for GIMPS.

I have had one mfaktc instance doing LL-TF, and one doing DC-TF. In light of the current status of those areas I'll start adding LL-TFs to the second worker. I'll still let the DCs finish, though.

Quarter of a million GHz Days saved!!!
 

Hey all.

After only a little more than three months of work we have found 1,655 factors, saving a total of 250,131 GHz days (685 GHz years) of LL, DC and P-1 work!!! :smile:

I'll finish my current DCTFs and then move to all LLTFs. Thanks!
