175268*5^360870-1 is prime!

What was that?
 

LLR tests only k*2^n▒1 numbers, so, we will do a PRP test of 171362*5^8436-1
171362*5^8436-1 is not prime. RES64: CDB0FC3DC8D8D595 Time: 4.078 sec.
The server refused your new result :
either someone else computed it already,
either the server is now configured to
work on other numbers.

I had the same error. It looks like the server having some problems when resheduling where short tests. It did send out the test several times.

I have checked and all result for n<10000 are in now. I will remove the "damaged" tests from the queue.

Edit:

We will see some new small tests as there have been two false positives.

73198*5^101383-1 is prime!

Yay me!

Is there any educated guess on how fast we will remove candidates from now on?
Can we say: "we will probably have around xxx k's left when we reach n=200k?"

For now, every few thousand n will yield a prime, but that will not continue obviously...
Can anyone answer that with a good background in the math?

I did some frequency count analysis (looking at how many primes were found between 2^x <= n < 2^(x+1)). Based on that, we can expect to find another 10-12 Riesel primes and 8-10 Sierpinski primes before n < 2^17 (131072). Between 2^17 and 2^18, we can expect to see another 25-30 primes.

The problem is that we are not sure whether all the primes found so far are the lowest for their repsective k's. This could throw-off the analysis a bit.

Congrats to rover:bow:

Let's just disregard any errors made on that part so far :)
Can you make a list of expected number of primes/expected number of k's left with each 2^x?

Oh, and one other thing, is there a known limit to which we can/must sieve, or will we simply not reach a point where sieving is slower than prp'ing?

Oh and, of course, congrats to rover!

By a little modification of my (PARI) program: see: [URL="http://www.rieselsieve.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=650"]http://www.rieselsieve.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=650[/URL]
This is a fast program. Takes only few sec.
The only differences:
[CODE]
num=300;\
test=17;\
u(n,test,i)=c=exp(-w[i,2]*(n-test)*log(2)/log(5));
[/CODE]
Because here base=5 and not base=2. And there are 300 remaining k values
and supposing that we finished the project to n=2^17 and you have to
modify the w matrix.

Supposing that all remaining k values has been tested up to 2^17=131072 (this isn't true, but some numbers has been tested up to say 200,000).
By 50% probability we can expect there will be only:

It is a little interesting, because it has got the same expected last level: 2^73, as for Rieselsieve. I thought that it will be say 2^128, because there
are so many unfinished k values.

Ouch... so when we get to the end of the current sieve-range, there will still be around 130 candidates left...

On another note, that would be a whopping 170 primes found! :>

Well it looks like your estimation matches my SWAG upto 2^18. Of course, as we hit each milestone, we'll have to redo the estimation to sync-up with reality (i.e. actual number of k's left)

Let us hope that we will be really lucky and dealing with a lot less k's by then:grin:
