Automated LLR testing with LLRnet

[em99010pepe]

Here's another simple way to install llrnet on 2, 4 and 8 cores machine.
The default server is on port 5000. To change the port just edit llr-clientconfig.txt for all cores and look for the server location. Another thing you need to edit is your nickname, please look for the line username = "TeamName_nickname".
Extract the zip, for 2 and 4, versions and unrar for the 8 version. To run the client you just need to run llrnet.exe respectively for each core.

All clients will run in the system tray. If you right click on the icon and if you choose "New GUI Window" you will get remotely control of all cores and see their progress.

I downloaded the automatic client and now it seems to be doing nothing but sleeping, it seems the port is set at 300 or should it be 100?

Or do I need to change things in the serverconfig file besides the client config file?

Oh, whoops! Sorry about that--those are our old servers' settings. You can browse our list of available servers here--simply enter the server and port information listed there for your chosen server.

Thanks seems to be working now.

Okay, great! Oh, and I believe I forgot to say this before--welcome to NPLB!

How long will it be before I appear in the stats? I have already returned some work that is not prime.

You should appear in the stats after the next daily stats update happens. I'm not sure exactly what time of day the stats update is performed; I know David (a.k.a. IronBits) exports the data from his LLRnet servers at 7 AM Arizona time (GMT-7), but I'm not sure exactly when the stats server pulls it in and integrates it into the database.

At any rate, you should definitely show up in the stats sometime within the next 24 hours, probably less; if I had to take a guess I'd say somewhere between 10-12 hours.

Edit: Oh, I just realized, the stats link in the posts earlier in this thread was outdated. Our new stats site is at http://stats.ironbits.net. I've fixed the link in the FAQ list above.

If you were working on server and port IB400, then you could watch this page

Note to all: I've added a link to this thread in the "Come join us!" thread, and unstickied this one, to cut down on the large number of stickies that we have in this forum (which causes some new posts to be pushed off the first page of listings for users having screens with resolutions ~<= 1280x1024).

windows version
http://stats.rieselsieve.com/downloa...et-windows.zip
linux version
http://stats.rieselsieve.com/download/llrnet.linux.tgz

The first thing to do is to change settings on llr-serverconfig.txt file, see bold text.

serverName - IP address of your machine

port = 100 - port, don't forget to open it on your firewall settings, UDP and TCP ports, open everything

maxConnections = 30 - max connections the server can handle simultaneously

jobMaxTime = 4 * 24 * 3600 -- 4 days - wu's will expire in x seconds


prunePeriod = 0.5 * 24 * 3600 -- 1/2 days - prunes the knpairs and the joblist txt files each X seconds


--displayFormat = "%s*2^%s+1" -- use this for PRP type test - for Proth numbers
displayFormat = "%s*2^%s-1" -- use this for LLR type test (default) - For Riesel numbers

serviceName = "NPLB_LLRserver" - if you run more than one server you should name them different

Below you'll find my llr-serverconfig.txt file content:

Next step is to create the knpairs.txt file. This one is the main file of the server and it's equivalent to an input file for manual LLRing (where you have the candidates to test). I usually download the file from the reservation thread. For the first time you just need to rename it to knpairs.txt and move to the server folder. If you are already running the server you always need to stop the server if you want to update the knpairs.txt file, this is very important. Stop the server, open knpairs.txt with notepad and add the work at the end of the content of knpairs.txt.
After everything is set up you can run the server by clicking on llrserver.exe file. The client runs on system tray, you have a console if you want to check the behave of the client. Its output is something like this:



You can easily check the pair proposed and to whom.

The results received by all clients will be written in a file called results.txt with the following format (base 2):

You can always move results.txt file from the server folder that the server will always create one, never do this for knpairs.txt.

Doubts? I know my English is poor...

Thanks a lot for the guide. But I have a little problem with my own server. I set it all up, copied a sieved file into the folder, named it knpairs.txt and started the llrserver.
Now the file joblist.txt is written, but it is nearly empty. All it contains is: "jobList = {
}"
Shouldn´t there be the pairs, what to do next? Can I do something on this behavior or is this all correct?

If you start a client and run it on the server you will get entry in joblist.
