Sierp base 6 - team drive #3

I know there is only about 4000 left so send me about 1500 of those puppies. I'll continue my LLRNET till I receive them.

PS: Please be sure to include a few probable primes so I can keep Gary guessing as to how I find them. LOL

HA HA HA!!

I know what you're going to do. If Max sends you a range that your ESP tells you won't have primes, you'll state that "somehow" all of your machines have gone down and will need to unreserve the range. You'll then wait for others to reserve it and shortly thereafter your machines will have a miraculous "recovery". Then when he sends one that you "know" WILL have primes, you'll search it and a day later...bang; yet another top-5000 prime!

Oh, why don't you just save Max some time. Wait until others reserve the primeless ranges and when the "known" prime range gets close, reserve it! Or maybe you already KNOW that another prime is coming in the next range!

Maybe I need to reserve YOUR range!

I'll add a note about this new little system to the first post of this thread. In the meantime, anyone who wants to grab a chunk, just post here in this thread saying how many k/n pairs you want.

Nice work on that and very good idea!

One thing I'll suggest: I see that Ian is requesting a specific # of pairs. To avoid any confusion, I would suggest sending him a specific n-range that is close to his # of pairs. It appears that something like a range of n=130K-133.5K would be close to the # of pairs he wants.

Geez, can't fool you for very long.

Gary, that's now how it works. Essentially, what I'm dong is asking the server to give me the next x # of k/n pairs that it would hand out to a client. Then, after the user crunches them, I simply return them as a client would--the server is none the wiser, and in the end all the results will be merged together just as well as they would have been if we'd crunched them using the normal server process.

Ian, I've attached a file containing 1500 k/n pairs to this message. Let me know when you've got it so that I can take the attachment offline.

BTW: if you find a prime in this range, be sure to report it as you would for any other Phrot-found prime (assuming, that is, that you're using Phrot). No special designation is necessary because of the special method by which we're doing these k/n pairs.

Got it, Thanks

Edit (by Max): Okay, thanks, I've taken the attachment offline.

Gotcha...makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

118147*6^122688+1 is prime! (916.3466s+0.0043s)

95475 digits - getting closer

32k's left

I knew it. I should have stolen your range before you could get to it. lol

Max, I'm down to my last 200 pairs out of the 1500 you sent me from IB6. How many are left to do? If you want to save those for PRPNet testing, that would be fine. I'll email you the results when I'm finished (about 24 hours from now).

Nah, we've got plenty more for PRPnet. And besides, we've got all of n>130K for PRPnet to bust its butt on, too. So, go ahead and finish yours, that should be fine.
