You can add the lines to worktodo.add and force manual communication by running ./mprime -c in a new terminal so you don't have to stop mprime.

You can put the N/A key when you create the list, so one just add them to the worktodo, without doing manual insertion (lot of "paste" (CTRL+V)) or reservation.

I guess I'm not up to date on the syntax there. When I'm just testing stuff manually I don't need the assignment key part at all, it's optional. Others have said that doing that and letting it connect will create the assignment and update your worktodo... So it sounds like you just add the line, force a connection to the server, and that's it?

If there's a better way, let me know. Yeah, it'd be nice if we could do a manual reservation online, but yeah, the smaller exponents can't be done manually since they're in that critical range.

Prime95 checks for "worktodo.add" files like every 15 or 30 min or something like that, so you do not have to do anything other than create that file. I would assume mprime does the same.


[QUOTE=frmky;408800]I do this, but it is a pain for low exponents since the online form won't let me manually reserve them. Currently I stop a running mprime, add them to worktodo.txt, restart it and let it communicate, stop it, remove the updated lines from worktodo.txt, and then restart it. Would it be possible to repurpose the DC LL reservation code from GPU-72 for this project?[/QUOTE]

Why do you need to remove the key after communication?

Forcing communication causes worktodo.add to be merged immediately, if you don't want to wait for whatever reason.

Perhaps he's trying to reserve assignments for processing on a graphics card. Using mprime/Prime95 is the only way to reserve assignments in the critical ranges.

Exactly. Most of my LL tests are done on 7 GPUs. So using worktodo.add and -c will save stopping it once, but I still need to remove the now-reserved lines from the worktodo.txt so the CPU doesn't do it. I don't need the reservation key for the GPU; I just want to formally reserve it so someone else doesn't grab it while it's running.

You may consider using a second copy of mprime in another directory only for assignment reservation. I'd set these values in prime.txt

UsePrimenet=1
V5UserID=frmky
DaysOfWork=0
NoMoreWork=1

and in local.txt

WorkerThreads=1

and run only mprime -c, which will quit immediately after communicating/registering and not process any work, and give you all the assignments in a single [Worker #1] block.

New list
 
Here's a list of work done by systems with a 4:1 bad:good ratio, so it may be easy pickings for some almost-first-time work:

Two factors out of 14 numbers, that's pretty good!
