WE are probably never going to lose manual sieve... so that will never happen.

ONe of the best things about PSP is you get what you want always.

If we only have one person sieving manually then resevations will be made available for them.

If for example someone wanted a particular k at a particular n I'm sure Lars could even make that available, might not be right now but give him a day and he gets it to you.

IF there is anyone here that's not getting what they want please let us know. Also if there is someone from some other project that's not getting what they want send them to here we can probably get it for them (especially if there is a client available). Do other projects have bionic sieve etc...

[QUOTE=Anonymous;131536]We (I and the others who mentioned other projects) were suggesting possible alternatives for when the manual sieving runs out and everyone has to switch to BOINC. In the meantime, of course, we had no intention of pulling away anybody from PSP manual sieving. :smile:[/QUOTE]


I do believe that you are jumping the gun. There is at lease 18 months of work currently available, and more where that came from.

I'm pretty sure I will sieve and/or factor for SoB for as long as it is deemed necessary by the project admins, and SoB's sievestats are available. MikeH's statspage was the reason I got interested in sieving a couple of years ago. I don't think I'll continue if BOINC is the only way though. Then I'd rather do PRP, factor on primenet V5 or sieve for small mersenneforum projects.

Oh, I thought there was less work left from what others were saying. Okay, then, that's good, and no, I have no interest in hastening the running out of manual work. :smile:

[QUOTE=hhh;131506]Come on, Joe, don't take it personally, I did similar "invitations" already. I think it's more about solidarity than about concurrence. H.[/QUOTE]


It's one thing to go to a [B]Team[/B] forum and ask them to participate, or to step up their participation, in your project, and entirely another thing to go to a [B]Project[/B] forum and solicit their participants for your project.

@KriZp

Yup you and me both. Thats one reason why I think the manual portion will be around for even longer than 18 months. When this section runs out we will reserve another section if there is interest.

Personally I havn't sieved in about 2 months b/c I'm working on another aspect of this project.

However if I were to leave that portion it would be back to manual sieve for me.

KEP is busy working at the Conjectures 'R US (CRUS) project. So I've no time helping you sorry, but good luck on closing the gaps and on doing whatever you decide to do when that comes to an end :)

[QUOTE=ltd;130559]Primegrid did reach another milestone today.

With sieving under BOINC we did complete an amount of work that
is equal to a range of 1500T.
This is the same amount as the complete manual sieving (inclusive SOB)
has done or only reserved by now.:party::beer::beer:[/QUOTE]
25 days later, we are closing in on 2000T sieved. It is currently 1991.6525T.

Congratulations!
 

PrimeGrid has sieved 2000.6600T!

newbie question
 

Hi,
I thought joining this project could be interesting, but I don't know much about how it works. On the "getting started" thread [URL]http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=2665[/URL]
I found a link to the illustrated guide [URL]http://www.psp-project.de/guides/prp.html[/URL]

There it is written:
[B][COLOR=green][FONT=Arial](...) [/FONT][/COLOR][/B][FONT=Arial]If you have a computer with an Internet connection this section is for you.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]
[since I have, I read on...]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Depending on you computer Operating system get one of these: [/FONT]

[got the [FONT=Arial][URL="http://www.psp-project.de/software/llrnet_linux.zip"]Linux[/URL][/FONT] one]

[FONT=Arial]Then unzip these files using an unzipping utility.[/FONT]

[used unzip]

[FONT=Arial]Then register a username on [URL="http://www.mersenneforum.org/"]www.mersenneforum.org[/URL][/FONT]

[already had]

[FONT=Arial]Open up llr-clientconfig.txt and replace nobody with your username.
[/FONT]
[did so]

[FONT=Arial]Then double click the LLRnet file and run the application.

[since double clicking did not work, I did a chmod a+x and then typed ./llrnet]

Sit back and relax and the application will do all the work for you.

[I sat back but no relax since the app didn't seem to do anything except for printing some cryptical txt to stdout.
Among others it said "...under windows, use wordpad, not notepad..." which is probably the opposite of the intended msg, but anyway i'm "under" linux, so that's no problem.
However, there were other errors:
"FXApp::openDisplay: unable to initialize..."
"unknown host localhost"
"unknown host pspnet.no-ip.info"

so, what have I to do in order to relax ?
(and to number-crunch for PSP on my pentium D ?) <- wow, I'm a poet :]


PS: to clarify / sieve hypotheses about reason of frustration: in spite of the [/FONT][FONT=Arial] "FXApp::openDisplay: unable to initialize..." error msg, a window opened. [don't know if this is relevant, but just in case...] and in that window, I could click "reconnect" (without success)
PPS: should I, instead of ...clientconfig.../nobody, have edited ...guiconfig.../Name ?

Are you by any chance using a Debian, Redhat or Slackware based system? If so, then you've run into a known bug in LLRnet DNS resolution on those Linux distros. Either a recompile, or using a copy of LLRnet compiled on one of those distros, will fix the problem.

If you'd like a precompiled version that should fix the problem, you can get one [URL="http://bugmesticky.googlepages.com/llrnet.linux.sr5.tgz"]here[/URL], which I compiled on a Ubuntu (i.e. Debian-based) system. It doesn't have the GUI, but if you'd really like to have that send me a PM and I can show you how to do a workaround. (The GUI is useful for monitoring the progress of the individual numbers, which is especially nice for BIG numbers like PSP's.)
