Green bank, I ran proth_sieve on the MAC computer. It did not work. The computer said fastsieve needs fastsieve application to work. (Don't know what that means):popcorn:



I and mac's do not mix well:furious::rant: I will stick to pc's in the future.:alien:

All tests under 2.0 M have been done once.


Last goal of finding a prime is left.

Can we set a new PRP target (or 2)

PRP to 2.5M
PRP to 3M
find a prime.


Can we have a counter of PRPs to these values on the stats page, just like
the <2.2M that is already there.

Cheers
Martin

No problem to include the suggested milestones in the stats.
I hope to include them this weekend but at first i have to catch up with all the mails.

Lars

cheers for that. looking good and something to aim for.

only 4K tests to 2.5M! :banana:
only 20k tests to 3M! :yucky:

we will eat those tests up! :popcorn:

Could we have the numbers of tests under 1 Million digits (3321929) instead of 3M.

Lets try to reach 1 Million digits by the end of the year. I think it is a possibility.:rolleyes: :banana:

There is no way we will hit 1 million digits by the end of the year with out an influx of new users. Each test takes longer as the value of n increases. As you start to get to 3 million the rate of tests completed in 30 days will only be about 60% of what we do now.

Of course that doesn't stop us from trying :)

I was hoping we would find a prime soon and that would even out the increase in size of n

we are at <20k tests for 3M

and 30800 for 1 million digit. Does the sieving at the current depth eliminate candidates at this amount? Because it seems to drop faster than tests are being done.

I am with Citrix, 23k tests done in the last 180 days. thats 1/2 year. With an elimination due to sieving and finding a prime, plus some new members, 1 million by the end of the year is not unreachable. That should be the goal.

WOOO!

[B]Does the sieving at the current depth eliminate candidates at this amount? Because it seems to drop faster than tests are being done.[/B]

Sieving at any depth removes candidates at any n level.

can we have some stat about the number of residues for which the double check and the first check did not match and a third check was needed.

Thanks.
