i've got it to give me numbers in the 288m range now, which is better

how?
also, I have to manually reserve assignments for worker#1 on my computer because the worker#2 goes past the 30 day limit for reserving...however worker#1 will sit idle and not attempt to reserve assignments until i manually reserve assignments for it...how can i fix this?

Pick the expos that are not already assigned.
Make up a "worktodo.add" file like this:

[worker #1]
factor=332252849,61,67
factor=332252861,61,67
factor=332252927,61,67
factor=332252939,61,67
factor=332252969,61,67
factor=332252993,61,67
factor=332253043,61,67
factor=332253127,61,67

[worker #2]
factor=332253139,61,67
factor=332253157,61,67
factor=332253197,61,67
factor=332253301,61,67
factor=332253329,61,67
factor=332253373,61,67
factor=332253379,61,67
factor=332253413,61,67

Stop and restart prime95 (it will suck the .add into the .txt)
Force a manual communitcation.
Repeat a manual com, checking the box to update the expected completeion dates.

You have now had the v5 server assign you the work that you want.


Edit: UnreserveDays= in prime.txt with a number like 180, will allow you to stuff your worktodo with lots of numbers.

so THAT'S how you reserve specific exponents! thanks!

This is where I get stuck... without the assigned report that was in v4 how do I know it they are assigned?

if it is assigned the exponent report will show:

332272879No factors below2^61

I just ran a benchmark (v25.7b4,x64) and the server returned an error:

Sending benchmark data to server
URL: http://v5.mersenne.org/v5server/?v=0.95&px=GIMPS&t=bd&g=304ba008ffd7cc57d787df6ecda13905&FFT4K=5.40571e-005&FFT5K=7.96191e-005&F
RESPONSE:

==END==

PrimeNet error 7: Invalid parameter
parameter FFT4K: Invalid float value: '5.40571e-005'
Visit http://mersenneforum.org for help.
Will try contacting server again in 18 minutes.

which I presume comes from the first line of the benchmark:

Best time for 4K FFT length: 0.054 ms.

[NBtarheel_33]

Sure seems like it, except for the fact that 5.4*10^-5 is .000054, which is 1000 times smaller than your iteration time. Were you perhaps timing 1000 iterations?

Whoops, never mind - I didn't see the *ms* after 0.054, so you're right, that would be 5.4*10^-2*10^-3 = 5.4*10^-5. Wonder why it's an invalid value.

And, presumably, if you were to add such an exponent to your worktodo, and then attempt to report progress on it to PrimeNet, you would get slapped on the wrist with a "no assignment" error, as the unique assignment key for the exponent in question would have already been generated and issued to the exponent's proper owner. Not to mention the evils of poaching and all that jazz.

And I noticed after about an hour of retrying (maybe it's 4 retries @ 18min intervals?) the server message said:

[Comm thread Nov 4 07:11] RESPONSE:
[Comm thread Nov 4 07:11] pnErrorResult=7
[Comm thread Nov 4 07:11] pnErrorDetail=parameter FFT4K: Invalid float value: '5.40571e-005'

[Comm thread Nov 4 07:11] Deleting unprocessed message from spool file.

Note the last line. And then it went on and submitted the rest of the queued results. So it looks like we should no longer have the problem where some weird result prevents a whole long queue of results from being sent (which is good). But that 4K bug should probably be fixed anyways

Okay ... I took a chance.

I looked at the Exponent Status report and found:

18000343 No factors below 2^67 
 P-1 B1=100000, B2=1850000 
 Unverified LL A4209DE258C211__ by "Flavius"

This appears to be a test that does NOT have a first time LL test done (at least not a verified one).

So I created a worktodo.add file and inserted the lines:

[Worker #1]
Test=18000343,67,1

About 2 seconds after saving it (and without me doing anything else) my status window showed the Worker stopping and starting and the worktodo.txt now has the line in it without any warnings or errors.

I'll keep you posted.

Update: I refresehed my screen on the Exponent Status report but I am not showing up as Assigned. Maybe this won't happen until my test is active?

Can I manually edit the worktodo.txt file and move this new assignment right below the currently active one to see sooner what will happen?

Update 2: It does NOT show up on my Account Assignment report yet.
