Stats milestone
 

I was just looking at he stats page and I think there was a time when the stats went up to 2 million, and there was arround 125,000 candidates to test and 2milllion seemed so far off in the distance considering we were prp'ing around the 250,000 mark.

I just checked and there are just 2106 test to go until all candidates are tested to a minimum of n=2,000,000. and that will be a great milestone for the project.

I'd like to give a BIG thanks to all who have contributed in anyway at all, esp. for Lars :bow: for his brilliant job on this project.

Thanks

I agree:bow: :bounce:

Let's hear it for Lars!!!!! :banana:

Greenbank posted something about his ranges in this thread, which I do not remember, I guess it is lost now. May be he can post it again.

It was about getting drunk and manipulating his machines so they don't fall idle.

But what he absolutely should repost is this link to his personal stats page.

Milestones to achieve in the near future.

PRP all candidates below 2M
Total untested <1.5M
Sieve to 100 trillion
Double check to 400k
Find one more prime if possible:smile: :bounce:

I'm awake again (and sober). I'll be updating and improving it later on this afternoon.

One down four to go.

Double check is larger then 400K.

Thanks to some work by Rogue (Mark R) and myself, I've got a nice little speed increase:-

This is combined SoB+PSP sieving on a 2.5GHz G5 PPC running MacOS X 10.4:-

Old:-

pmin=125686741988123 @ 321 kp/s
pmin=125686751988137 @ 357 kp/s

New:-

pmin=125686761988153 @ 589 kp/s
pmin=125686771988177 @ 585 kp/s

:-)

ETA for my 8T range down from ~43 days to ~26 days.

WOW:w00t:

Is that only for the G5 or everybody? New releases planned? Give us more information, pleeease.

But we are not yet done with the acclamations: :bow: :bounce: :shock: :banana: :banana: :banana:

It's G5 specific I'm afraid.

I just tried the same changes on the x86 code and it made almost no difference (the rate was sometimes higher, sometimes lower than before, within just 1%).

Still got quite a way to go before a fully tested release is available. I'm still relying on GMP for a few functions (multinv and gcd). I then have to test it against all previously found factors to make sure it doesn't miss anything!
