A: No.

Maybe when the new PS3s come out with double precision it can be accomplished.

Nice! I'll get the results processed soon, probably tomorrow. (Just got back from vacation, a lot of catching up to do. I tackled this thread first since if there were any major issues since I last got on this thread is where I'd hear about it. )

The n=478K-485K range for port 300 is now completed.

All servers now contain ranges for n>496K. We'll be at n=500K within ~1 week!

What does everyone think of reducing the JobMaxTime from 7 days to 3 (or 4) days on the various servers? I'm making the assumption that since one of IronBits servers is 7 days that they all are.

What occurs is that when a server has apparently handed out all of its n-range, there are stragglers remaining sitting in people's queues and it is 7 days before they are returned to the server for processing. Anon has to wait a week in order to process the results to me. It's either that or he has to run those tests himself. This delays processing the results.

I processed 150 results in the n=458K-463K range after port 400 had already starting feeding n=500K+ to me 3 days prior. That's because they were sitting somewhere and got returned in the mean time.

Let me know what kind of issues shrinking the timeframe may cause.

I would set to less than 3 days, maybe 2. We are processing small candidates, 4 days is too long to wait.

Agreed. No more than 3 days although 2 might be a little low if we have an outage during a 48-hour rally.

There is a web page on Adam's site for server 300 that shows that it is at 3 days for that one so it is good.

Anon and IronBits...thoughts?

for llrnet and nplb servers
jobMaxTime = 3 * 24 * 3600 -- 3 days

for crus port 6
jobMaxTime = 14 * 24 * 3600 -- 14 days

I agree too. It appears, though, that all our servers are already set to a good setting, as IronBits and Adam's web page just confirmed.

In other news, I should be able to get the results processed today. (Yeah, I know, I said that yesterday. )
