[QUOTE=mdettweiler;375301]Not much, but we've had some others helping out on 1400 lately, so things have been moving much more quickly. :smile: Particularly, I see one core each of an Ivy Bridge and a Haswell on there - those carry a lot of weight.[/QUOTE]
I have all 4 cores of my Haswell alternating between three servers in roughly equal proportions, so it's around 1.3 cores of my Haswell on there - maybe 28-32 tests per day if I'm not using the computer too much (yesterday I did 28, exactly 7 per core).

[QUOTE=gd_barnes;375369]Another thought: After Sierp base 6 is done here to n=1M, what would everyone think of crunching Riesel base 6 on port 1400 until our new base 2/4 drive is done sieving? R6 currently has 2 k's remaining and is at n=1.5M with no reservations and is sieved thru n=2M. The tests would be ~2-3 times as long as S6 at n=1M but there are < 1/5th as many candidates so the n-ranges would process more quickly. We would not have to test the entire rest of the range thru n=2M in the highly likely event that the base 2/4 effort is done sieving first, although we could ask people what they think at that point.[/QUOTE]
I like this plan.

Seconded - I'd be game for this as well. R6 hasn't seen much attention lately, but it's a really interesting base given that there's only two k's left - IIRC they're the two lowest-weight of the original batch of 8, but from the beginning on that base we've had an incredibly better-than-expected run of primes. I keep wondering (in a totally hypothetical unsubstantiated way) if there's something yet to be discovered about this base/range to corroborate that...in any event it should be interesting to see if the run continues with these last two k's. :smile:

Regardless, I'll be keeping my cores on port 1400 for the foreseeable future. I don't have too much time these days to micromanage personal efforts, so I'm glad to run whatever we're doing lately as a team effort. :smile:

Very good. When we get past n=~995K on S6, I'll load up R6 for n=1.5M-1.6M into port 1400 to start with and will continue loading more later on until we're done with the base 2/4 sieving effort.

I thought about doing some more R6 work. What keeps me from doing so ATM is that I want to finish one or two of my longtime reservations first. But there are at least 4 cores I will switch to R6 when it's online.

S6 will be done to n=1M in port 1400 within ~9-10 days with current resources. Does that work for you? Or if you want to help with S6, it will be done sooner. Either way, I'll keep a daily eye on the port and will load up R6 when S6 is at n>995K. Once R6 is loaded, if we get more resources hitting it, I may load a bigger range of R6 than just n=1.5M-1.6M. Also in the future if the consensous is that people want to complete R6 to n=2M before we start the base 2/4 drive, we can do that too.

In the mean time, shortly we're going to need to start a sieving effort for both sides of the team efforts for base 16 n=500K-1M. R16 is already complete to n=500K and S16 will be there within a couple of days.

...busy times ahead for the project :smile:

I was thinking weeks or months rather than days before getting a manual reservation LOL. But those 4 cores will be free in about a week, so that fits quite nicely.

I will add about 20 core to clean up base 6.

Excellent! I'll go ahead and add all of Riesel base 6 for n=1.5M-2M shortly.

Wow. Port 1400 is already handing out R6 work. Although we still have a little over 100 tests left to finish up on S6, that was very fast to get to this point! :smile:

I have moved posts about the speed difference between LLR and PFGW to a new thread [URL="http://mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=19425"]here[/URL].

All pairs have been processed and the drive is now officially complete to n=1M! Thank you everyone for your contributions. :smile:

In a manner similar to both sides of base 16, we will keep the drive intact and eventually begin sieving a higher n-range.
