[QUOTE=tanaydin;557117]Hi there,

I'm so excited about new version, but still missing macOS version.
Do you have a plan for it?[/QUOTE]

I second this request for a macOS version of the new app. Two of my clients currently run macOS. These are older macs that generally don’t run anything other than p95.

No GUI. Not tested much. If it works, I'll make it the official Mac release

Thanks, I will wait for the current assignments to complete - which will take a few weeks - and then attempt the to transition these systems.

Consider trying out the new version in a separate test folder, soon, on something quick; P-1, prp-cf. Then if there's an issue George can have time to look into it.

:tu:

I now have some P-1 work running on a macOS catalina (10.15) box and DC work running on a MacOS high sierra (10.13) box.

I'll let the P-1 work run for a few days, but the DC work will take about 10 days to complete.

The only problem I've noticed so far is that I asked the high sierra machine to request P-1 work (option 4), but it received DC work (option 151). Interestingly, the DC work type is the 4th work type in the list. That said, I also asked the catalina box to request work type 4 and all seems to have gone well here.

In any event, I'm not sure if this is a bug or more of a missunderstanding on my part. If it is a bug, I'm not sure that it needs to be fixed as I highly doubt there are many p95 users still running high sierra.

Here's what I can report back after a few days of testing:

- The macOS high sierra (10.13) box was assigned DC work and crashed at some point along the way. Here's what was shown in terminal.

I have retreated back to p95 v29.4,build 7 on this machine. As I had mentioned before, I highly doubt many (I would be shocked to learn that the number is greater than 1 / 1000) p95 users are running macOS high sierra (10.13).

- The macOS catalina (10.15) box has completed a P-1 assignment ([URL="https://www.mersenne.org/report_exponent/?exp_lo=100156723&full=1"]100156723[/URL]) and is now working on an ECM assignment. This box either crashed or installed an OS update at some point during the first P-1 assignment, but in all fairness an OS crash isn't out of the ordinary for this machine.

On both boxes I'm having some difficulty selecting the preferred work type, but I believe these issues are hardware related (i.e. not enough ram for some assignment types).

Please let me know if you'd like to see the results of any specific test cases.

I have 3 workers, #1 is doing a PRP that will be done in about a month, #2 and #3 are doing small P-1 that take about an hour each. Whenever the client gets Cert work it is inserted into only worker #1, never #2 or #3. In [i]undoc.txt[/i] there is reference to [c]CertWorker=n[/c] to force cert work to a specific single worker, I think it would be better if this could take a [i]list[/i] of worker(s) for which Cert work should be assigned (if the setting is absent then it is allowed on any/all workers).

I have no problem doing cert verification work. But I am unhappy that it interrupts current work in progress.

Can there be, or is there, a setting to only start cert verifications when a previous assignment has finished? IOW tell it not to interrupt anything.

There is no such setting. Just disable getting CERT work. There is no problem getting CERT work completed at this time.

Download rate not sufficient with cloud drive
 

After changing to prime95 v30.3 b6, I was eager to perform my first CERT check only to see it failing to download over and over again despite having thought to have a quite good download rate.

I think, the explanation is me being lazy and putting prime95 into a cloud drive directory. When it started downloading, it simultaneously uploaded the new files to the cloud and thus limited the download bandwidth drastically by the upload.

In fact, the solution was easy: put prime95 into a non-cloud directory and everything works fine.:brian-e::blush:
