I have seen this before. Not too far in the past, I ran this test on my HP. This i7, I am not sure how long it has been. I believe I have my setting configured to do this. I generally run DC's on a GPU. In this case, that wold not work.

Thank you! :smile:

[U]Edit[/U]: I filtered my results to show only LL tests. I did run one on this i7 which completed on 9/26/2018. Nothing appeared for the HP. Strange! I will run another.

FYI: 29.8 is now the official download version at mersenne.org.

Also, I just tweaked the get-assignment server code for "what makes the most sense" prime95 clients. They will get PRP assignments if running version 29.6 or later. Keep an eye out for any unusual get assignment behavior.

You might want to mention this on the front page.

Edit: and it's done!

IMO, it would make sense to move older versions of Prime95 and gwnum libraries from [URL="https://www.mersenneforum.org/gimps/"]GIMPS mirror[/URL] to one or subdirectories. The naming convention has changed over time and some of the versions posted there are buggy or no longer supported.

I thought about cleaning up [url]https://download.mersenne.ca/gimps[/url] but that's tied to the above FTP via automatic mirroring so cleaning the one will fix the other.

I noticed a very minor issue: the "Visit Mersenne Wiki" option is still directing users to the now-defunct wiki. It should be updated to point to the [url=https://rieselprime.de/ziki/Main_Page]new one[/url] or removed altogether.

Question: Is there a symbol, or symbols, which can be used to cause [I]Prime95[/I] ignore lines in [I]local.txt[/I] and [I]prime.txt[/I]? Just curious. :smile:

8) It is now legal to put comment lines in the prime.txt, local.txt, and
worktodo.txt files.[/code]It doesn't mention it, but I believe starting a line with [color=red][b]#[/b][/color] will make that line into a comment.

I [I]think[/I] semicolons can also denote comments.

[QUOTE=ixfd64;516259]I [I]think[/I] semicolons can also denote comments.[/QUOTE]After a little experimenting, it seems Prime95 is very liberal with what constitutes a comment: I believe any line starting with [i]any[/i] non-alpha character will be treated as a comment.

That's been the case for many releases.
It was how [Worker #n] could still appear in the worktodo.txt, along with explanatory text added, after the number of workers got reduced below n, by the prime95 program
