srsieve in prover code
 

It's interesting that you mentioned that because it crossed my mind after the fact but I wasn't sure that anything could be done at that point. Here's the way it went...at first, I created prover code L441 only for LLR and myself because I didn't see a selection for the project or site and assumed that it would take me to another screen to choose that option. But when it didn't, before I submitted the prime, I realized that I could just put RPS in the space provided and so created prover code L442 to add our site here. (I think L441 will just be deleted later after it isn't used for a while.) I wasn't even thinking of looking for sieving software on there. I'm not sure if it's a menu selection or not.

It was actually sr2sieve that I used for about 80% of the sieving so that is what should get the credit. From the top-5000 site perspective, is there a difference between sr2sieve and srsieve?

After I get an answer, I'll see if I can have Prof. Caldwell add sr2sieve or srsieve to prover code L442. I think that most of my top-5000 primes will use sr2sieve in the future although a small percentage may use srsieve, sr1sieve, or NewPGen.


Thanks,
Gary

For prover-code purposes, srsieve refers to the family of programs created by Geoff. It matters not which of sr, sr1, sr2 you use.

Carlos- if you wish to assist with some LLR work, let me know what size exponent you're most interested in. I have a couple of k's without homes right now, all sieved to my usual standards (i.e. a little too far).

OK, thanks. I'll kick a note off to Prof. Caldwell shortly.

Congratulations Gary on your first reportable prime! :tu:
BTW: 151515*2^1043018-1 (313985 digits) :cool:

Now, stop that...you're just showing off! :grin:

Great prime!

Curtis kindly sent me the 923 to LLR from 300k to 500k.
I hope to find "some primes" and I would like to share "them" with him, do I have to create another Prover Account?
Here's my progress:
300k-330k - P4 3.0GHz (work machine, lost contact to it a few hours ago)
330k-360k - AMD 64 3000+ (at 332k)
400k-425k - AMD 64 X2 3800+
425k-450k - AMD 64 X2 3800+
450k-475k - T5500
475k-500k - T5500

Two answers: Yes, you *would* have to make a new prover code to do this.
No, because you should not share them with me. That sieve took perhaps 50 hours on an AthlonX2. I reserved too much work on primesearch in the 300-1000 range, and am happy the work is getting done. Trust me, that's plenty of payback on its own.

If you ignore this reasoning, you should share one with steven (k=31,207) instead of myself, as he did much of the sieving on this number (and would be quite excited by such thanks).

Thanks Curtis.
I didn't switch yet the two dual-cores because it's to damm hot here at home. I live near the beach and it's suppose to be a little more cold but today the temperature is above 35ºC. I don't have vent or AC so probably I will turn them on at night.

Lightning strikes twice...
 

120023475 * 2 ^ 334084 - 1 is prime! (100578 digits)

It actually beats all of the n=333333 primes this time. :rolleyes:

This is getting fun! :smile:

Kosmaj, srsieve has now been added to my prover code.
