The non-BOINC side of things has now progressed to the n=3M-6M range. For this sieve, the larger n-range of n=3M-6M (rather than just 3M-4M) was chosen since the 2M-3M sieve will keep BOINC busy for a good while, and thus we won't be quite as rushed to get the next range ready for it. Thus, we can combine 3M-6M and do it in one fell swoop. ppsieve and tpsieve scale such that sieving time is inversely proportional to the n-range; that is, n=3M-6M will run at exactly 1/3 the speed of n=3M-4M. As last time, we will be sieving with tpsieve, and this will cover both the Riesel and Proth sides since we effectively throw in one of them for "free". I will reserve ranges from the primary reservation thread in the PST forum and distribute them here. The reservations table for NPLB's ranges ONLY follows below; see PST's thread for the overall canonical list. Code: P-range reserved by status 0T - 20T PST forum 20T - 30T PCZ complete 30T - 40T PST forum 40T - 50T PCZ complete No ranges current available in this forum due to lack of activity. If you plan to contribute at least semi-regularly here, post here saying so and I (Max) will reserve another range from PST to divvy out here. Otherwise, you can just reserve ranges directly from the PST thread (linked just above this box). I will follow this up shortly with another post detailing how to participate in this sieve.
