We are starting a mini-drive for one of the final 4 remaining k's for Sierp base 4...k=64494 using Tcadigan's sieved file that he left us. The range is n=885K-1M base 4. I have divided it up in to appropriate-sized files, n=5K at a time. There are 964 total candidates remaining in 23 files, which means an avg. of 42 candidates/file. On a 3.2 Ghz P4, testing time is about 9600 secs./test. Tcadigan quoted 7000 secs./test on a 2.8 Ghz Core 2 quad. On the P4, that's an avg. of 4.7 CPU days/file. On the C2Q, avg. would be 3.4 CPU days/file. Feel free to take what you can do in a reasonable time frame. Please post all reservations, status, and primes (oh, please a prime!) here. Any prime should be reported under both the Sierp base 4 project and CRUS; half-credit each. I have reserved and am testing the first piece of the file from n=885K-890K and am at about n=888K now. Status: Code: n-range tested by Status 925K-1000K LLRnet (IB4) complete 920K-925K Anonymous complete 890K-920K em99010pepe complete 885K-890K gd_barnes complete Files for LLRing: The mini-drive is now complete. Thanks to all who contributed! As for results files, feel free to wait until you're done with this effort before posting them. Let's take down a MEGAbit prime!!
