LL to be completed in mere P-90 years...
 

The other day one of my old computers crashed and I had to reboot it and restart Prime95.

Some time later, I discovered that the assignments for this PC had somehow been changed from TF-LMH to LL (!). As a result, I got the following lines in my communication thread sub-window (see attached). :smile:

I've since deleted the relevant line in worktodo.txt and readjusted the assignment setting. I also tried to cut-and-paste the LL to another PC's worktodo.txt, but it seems to get deleted from there automatically every time that PC communicates with PrimeNet. Is there any way to "officially" reassign an LL from one PC to another, or should I just unassign the LL?

I could also do a manual LL test, but I'm curious to know if there is a way to move an assignment to a different computer.

You can move assignment lines between worktodo.txt files on different machines no problem; take the check point files along with the assignments, if you do not want to start from the beginning.

Edit: shut down Prime95 (Test-Exit), while you are messing with its files.

I have on several ocassions moved assignments between PCs subject to:
- you still own the assignment - ie did not unassign it either from the client or server ... Check for your name in the exponent status query.
- you copy the entire worktodo line including the AID.
- you copy over the intermediate result files P* / Q* if the work has already started and you don't want to start over.

You just beat me. ...Darn blackberry and thumb typing. :smile:

The LL never started (there were still some TFs to finish first), so the checkpoint file shouldn't come into play.

But ahh -- I didn't shut down Prime95 on the PC where I wanted to reassign the LL. I'll do that, add the full LL line to its worktodo.txt (I have it in a separate .TXT file), and then relaunch Prime95.

Thanks, guys.

[I]Please[/I] don't start a LL test which is going to take you 20 years....

LOL, you can count on that!

Well, technically, between Jan 2013 and Aug 2033 there are only 20 years (and half)... :razz: so no problem, you can do it...
Edit: grrr chalsall faster, as usual
Edit2: you don't need to shut down p95, just "stop" from the menu (or rightclick on the green icon in the taskbar's notification area and "stop" - all workers will stop, the icon become red) then after you edit the worktodo, use "continue" (or rightclick on the red icon on the notification bar and chose "continue" - icon is green again).

I did not know that. Thanks for mentioning.

I realized too late that I made a typo in the thread title. Those 3's in 2033 were sticking in my head when I wrote it. Maybe the Forum gods can help with that. :bow:

Rodrigo

ROFL - the thread title was supposed to change from 30 to 20 years... not to add yet another 3 by changing it to 33. :grin:

I guess the Forum gods are somewhat like the genie Mulder found rolled up inside a carpet in that episode of the "X-Files." :alien:

Rodrigo

What hardware (CPU) was the LL scheduled to?

It was 20, haha, it changed just before your post. Anyhow, anything posted these days is going unnoticed, everybody stuck their eyes on the new prime announcement thread...

My 100 million digit is not scheduled to complete until August 2014. Of course it may be a bit sooner as I'll upgrade to Haswell as soon as it launches, and Broadwell too if it launches before I finish.

[QUOTE=E_tron;326098]What hardware (CPU) was the LL scheduled to?[/QUOTE]
It got assigned to a Pentium 233 (!). Safely out of that computer's hands, the exponent is now being worked on by an Ivy Bridge system.

That's funny!! Oh, and it's changed again, to "P-90 years." :max:

And now I'll leave this thread to check out the news of the new prime...

I'd shudder to see how long it would take that P233 to finish your exponent! :shock:

@Rodrigo: What was the exponent in your attachment on post #1? If you can't say it here, PM me.
