Green bank, is the MAC binary available for everyone?Where do I get it? I have a G5 sitting idle, I could put it to some good use.

I remember when SoB finally broke the 100 kp/s barrier. :nostalgia:
Does your current version top the 1 mp/s frontier when only working on the 8 SoB k's? :banana:

Not quite yet, it still relies on GMP for some functions (gcd and multinv), and you have to patch GMP with a bunch of other files to make it faster for G5 PPC. Not the easiest thing to do.

If I get any time today I'll be working on removing the need for GMP. Then I have to test it all thoroughly.

Citrix,

Right, I think I'm almost there for the G5 binary. It no longer relies on any GMP and so it is much easier to use.

A few questions though:-

Which version of MacOS do you have on your G5?[LIST][*]it must support 64-bit binaries, so that means a minimum of 10.4.x[/LIST]Is it a single, dual, single-cpu dual-core of dual-cpu dual-core?
What speed processor(s)?
How much memory?

Will you be sieving PSP, SoB or PSP+SoB combined?

I will be sieving combined ranges. I do not know much about the MAC, I am not a mac user. I know that I am allowed run DC applications on it. So if there is anything specific you want to know, I will have to go and look it up.(Which may take upto a week)

OK, I've been fiddling and found a few more % here and there.

Speeds as follows for a 2.5GHz G5 PPC:-

SoB: (8k) p=1800893475068332 (yes, that's 50 bits!) at 1100kp/s
SoB: (8k) p=1023348220675453 (49 bits) at 1120kp/s
PSP: (12k) p=80T (46 bits) at 867kp/s
Combined SoB+PSP (20k) p=125T (46 bits) at 630kp/s

Tomorrow I'll PM you with details of where you can download it if all goes well. It just has to run through my set of test ranges which takes several hours (I run them overnight).

[QUOTE=Citrix]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:

Ok, so now less than 1.5M candidates are left. 2 down!!! :bounce: :bow: :showoff:

Thanks!

Only 127 tests left to go where n < 2M.
And only 2.8T below 100T to be returned as completed sieved.

Citrix, any luck with the G5 version of proth_sieve?

Haven't had time to test it. Just running busy. It might take me a while.
