That leaves 251 k's to tackle

Riesel Base 30 k=25 sieved to p=600G for range n=25K-100K, releasing. Sieve file attached. :smile:

Riesel base 6 status
 

after found prime 40657*6^39087-1:

16 candidates to go.
- k=1597 at 155k
- k=9577 at 58k
- other 14 k at 39.3k

Reserving Riesel base 28 k=4322, 4436, and 4871 up to n=25K (currently all at n=5K).

Only hours after I reserve three Riesel Base 28 k's, and I find a probable prime waiting in my lresults file! :grin:

Here it is:

[B]4436*28^6242-1 is prime![/B] (Found probable prime by LLR, proved prime with Proth.exe. I would have used PFGW, but I'm using Linux, and I don't have the PFGW linux program--too lazy to register for Yahoo Groups to download it--and it wouldn't work in Wine (the program that lets you run most Windows programs on Linux), whereas Proth.exe does. So I just used Proth.exe, which was fine anyway for a small number like this.)

My second prime so far! :banana:

Note: I didn't notice the prime in my lresults file until more than an hour after it was found, so I ended up searching k=4436 up to n=13930.

I'm continuing to work on the remaining two reserved k's, both at about n=14.3K. :smile:

Riesel base 28 k=4322 and 4871 completed up to n=25K, releasing. Prime found on k=4436 (already reported in the "report primes here" thread); k=4436 ended up being tested to n=13930 because I didn't notice the prime until about an hour after it was found.

lresults for the three k's are attached. :smile:

Status for Sierp base 9 k=2036
 

Completed n to 170k. No prime. I will send the results to gd_barnes when n =200k.

Thanks for info. Japelprime. That's a lot of testing! :flex:

Meanwhile...Carlos has unreserved Sierp base 12 k=404 that was tested to n=88.5K. I have put a sieved file to n=100K on the Sierp reservations web page if anyone is interested in 'cleaning' it. :smile:

Oops...it's done up to n=96.970k.

[quote=em99010pepe;124534]Oops...it's done up to n=96.970k.[/quote]

OK, 82 tests to go. I'll reserve it and take it up to n=100K.

Were you running this on a slower machine? A preliminary test at n=97K on my 1.66 Ghz Dell core duo laptop shows ~3.35 ms per pit * 347758 bits = ~1182 secs. testing time vs. your 2200+ secs.

So this should take me about 27-28 CPU hours to complete it.

Maybe my machine is faster at non-powers-of-2 bases. :grin:

2319*28^65184-1 is a probable prime. Time: 894.036 sec.
Please credit George Woltman's PRP for this result!

Testing with pfgw at the moment.
