[QUOTE=paulunderwood;521034]:goodposting:

Working mod 2^p+1 is almost as easy as 2^p-1. Then a final division by 3 to get mod (2^p+1)/3.[/QUOTE]

In mprime, a type-5 residue for Wagstaff simply calculates [c]3^(2^p) mod (2^p + 1)[/c]. So I don't think you need to do a division.

Probably type-4 would also be applicable to Wagstaff? Or perhaps type-2, which is similar to type-4 except using N−1 instead of N+1.

[CODE]
2: SPRP variant, N is PRP if a^((N-1)/2) = +/-1 mod N
4: SPRP variant. N is PRP if a^((N+1)/2) = +/-a mod N

gpuowl priorities
 

I'd like to see some P-1 related gpuowl fixes and extensions before Mihai tackles another endeavor such as extension to Wagstaff prp.

P-1 fail on 8GB RX480 [URL]https://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=517853&postcount=1208[/URL]
Mihai replied in late May (post 1210) about planning to revisit P-1 memory management.

P-1 save and resume [URL]https://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=517846&postcount=1206[/URL]

As things stand, I'm unable to successfully run v6.x gpuowl P-1 on AMD or NVIDIA.

ROCm 2.6 is out. Performance is similar to 2.5

Proposal for improvement of gpuowl checkpoint recovery: what the script does can be done in gpuowl with a few lines. If the checkpoint is invalid, load *-prev.owl, and overwrite the last checkpoint file.

It's up to him to decide what he spends his time and effort doing. I was thinking that there might be some relatively trivial modification.

Like I mentioned earlier, the Wagstaff PRP calculation for type 5 is [c]3^(2^p) mod (2^p + 1)[/c] whereas for Mersenne (where type 1 and type 5 are the same thing), it's [c]3^(2^p − 2) mod (2^p − 1)[/c]. I don't know if there is a similarly simple modification for type 4 or type 2 residues.

Since gpuOwL is a GitHub project, theoretically someone else could make the modification, possibly even forking from an earlier version that still used Mersenne type 1 residues.

[QUOTE=GP2;521118]It's up to him to decide what he spends his time and effort doing. [/QUOTE]Of course. He volunteers his time, according to his talents and interests, like many others. None of us has a claim on him or each other, or authority to select one path versus another for him. To his credit, he sometimes accepts or asks for input from the user community. And if we users summarize outstanding issues or new desires, it can make him more efficient. Win-win.

[QUOTE]I was thinking that there might be some relatively trivial modification.[/QUOTE]It seems to me that the power difference is trivial, but the mod difference is less so. mod 2[SUP]p[/SUP]-1 result fits in p bits, and can be done rapidly in binary by adding the quotient to the remainder displaced rightward by p bits; mod 2[SUP]p[/SUP]+1 can't. Seems like p+1 bits storage and subtract quotient after a p bit right shift would be in order. That in turn implies borrows rather than carries as in the existing code. But all that is from thinking in untransformed integer binary operand terms.

There are other ways to do Wagstaff, to ~920M, though maybe not as high a p as you'd like to go to if you're thinking of taking the new Mersenne conjecture testing further.
There are also other ways to do p-1 factoring on Mersennes, although not above ~432.5M in CUDAPm1 in practice, or ~920M in mprime/prime95, and not on OpenCl at all.

ROCm version 2.6 without Navi10 support until Linux 5.3 in September.

amdgpu-pro has support for Navi10.

residue-type 1 is back
 

Back by popular demand: residue-type 1. (in the most recent commit)

This means that GpuOwl's residue is now aligned with mprime's, and GpuOwl can be used to double-check mprime PRP results.

[QUOTE=SELROC;521090]Proposal for improvement of gpuowl checkpoint recovery: what the script does can be done in gpuowl with a few lines. If the checkpoint is invalid, load *-prev.owl, and overwrite the last checkpoint file.[/QUOTE]


PS: This proposal should handle the case when after a power loss the checkpoint file is invalid, when a power loss happens while writing the checkpoint. In this case the file is not being closed and remains without the end-of-file mark. On reboot a filesystem check is done, which truncates the checkpoint file to length zero.

Happy me.

I tried to return the XFX Radeon VII for a replacement. Amazon was out of stock so they simply refunded the purchase. I ordered an Asrock Radeon VII instead. Installed today and preliminary results look great. First, the stock voltage is 50mV less. A memory overclock of 15% with a 40mV undervolting gives no errors during a short test. 0.85ms / iteration at 5M FFT! Longer testing required of course.

A question for the Linux gurus:

I use "crontab -e" to run mprime at boot. This does not work for gpuowl which must run as root. I tried "sudo crontab -e", but either messed up the entries or this does not work as I expected. What is the recommended way for root to start gpuowl at boot?
