It would be nice if the server only assigned triple checks to only proven reliable machines. Perhaps add a checkbox to prefer triple checks like there is for lowest exponents?

That would automate a lot of this effort, plus keep workers that don't turn in results from holding strategic assignments.

A second tweak would be to double check work done by proven unreliable machines.

A third tweak would be to assign new CPUs double checks from work done by proven reliable machines -- that would quickly identify flaky machines for the second tweak.

I don't know how easy these would be to implement.

[QUOTE=Madpoo;424133]Here are those available exponents needing quad checks. That smallest one just showed up today after a triple check I ran failed to match either previous run. I'm pretty sure all of these have one test by me:

Aaron, could I ask you to generate a list of 24 SDCs for me which will help machines be bumped into the good / bad ratio threshold for your heuristics? Preferably different machines for each candidate to be DC'ed/TC'ed.

In my mind it doesn't make sense for my machines to QC a candidate you've already DC'ed/TC'ed, since it will simply confirm what your queries already suspect (no joke intend).

Secondly, I agree with Mark's suggestions above. Perhaps it is time to automate this (if it isn't too much work).

Here's a list of exponents that have been double-checked with a mismatch. In each case, both machines are within just one bad result away from being thrust unmercifully into the "equal bad and good" category. The result of this triple check will push one or the other.

Thanks. Taken.

Here's a list... smallest available exponent for any machine with more bad than good. The ones that are just slightly over a 1:1 bad/good ratio are interesting, but I like to test another one and see which way it goes before trying to tackle more.

I found one recently that way... started with 1 bad, zero good. It's up to a (presumed) 15 bad, zero good. They were all exponents in the 60-70M range so I just snagged them myself, being larger.

Anyway, maybe we'll get some good ones like that out of this list, and some are already well into the "bad" group, so be sure to snag those while you can. :smile:
