I'll set up an official drive page here within about 2 hours. I'm going to hold off on moving CPU's over...may move 1 quad a little later tonight. Ian and Chris already have the n=350K-351K range at ~10% complete in just 4 hours putting the ETA on the server range at only 40 hours if no more resources were added.

Based on this, what do people think about running the entire n=350K-352K range on port 8000? It would save us admins a little time. At the above rate, we would complete n=350K-352K in 80 hours or < 3.5 days. If I add a quad, then less than that.

Max, if there are no objections, feel free to load up n=351K-352K in the server also.

David, I haven't read many of the posts yet from the last several hours. If you haven't done it already, due to the high-priority of the effort, please make the JobMaxTime 1 day. After we dry this, then future ranges for port 8000 (if we decide to use it) can go back to the usual 3 days.

Thanks everyone for pitching in!

Moved 4 cores to IB8000. Going to bed now, Happy New Year to all!!

With Carlos now on there, we're already 13% complete with n=350K-351K.

Here is what I'd like to do: I won't post any manual files in the new drive page. If anyone wants a manual range within the range of n=351K-352K, please tell us within 4 hours of this post or by 7:30 AM GMT on Jan. 1st.

With the speed of the server, there is now one stringent requirement: All manual reservations must be completed within 3 days. Please plan accordingly.

We're going to shoot for < 4 days for n=350K-352K so everyone can get back to their sieving and running the other drives.

If there are no takers, I'll send n=351K-352K to David's port 8000 and we'll run the whole n=350K-352K range on the server.

One more thing: An n=350K prime will now come in 4980th place on top-5000 so we started this none too soon! An n=352K prime will come in at 4859th place so the pressure is off after this small effort is done.

Well, I was originally planning to shift my quad over to IB8000 sometime today, but at the rate we're going, it looks like it won't be necessary after all! Given that, I'll keep it on C6000 where it's been for the past few days (my plan being to stick with that server until it reaches n=1M on k=341).

Maybe I'll toss one core of my dualcore on the server so that I can still rake in one or two of those top-5000 primes that I had been hoping to nab easily with my quad.

As for sending n=351K-352K to IB8000: okay, that sounds like a good plan.

File coming at you in the next 15 mins.

For the record: Reserving n=351K-352K for David's port 8000.

It is now. It's hard working with those huge files. The one I sent you is reasonable though.

Where are we testing the n-area from 50k to 350k?

thanks,

That hasn't started yet. When Ian is finished sieving P=1400G-1800G in the sieving effort, we'll start that drive. I think he said his ETA was Jan. 5th on that.

We started this drive early only for the small range of n=350K-352K with undersieved files to put any prime for n>350K on the top-5000 site. When the current range is complete, this drive will be suspended until the sieving effort is done; likely ~Jan. 20th.

If we all move more cores to IB8000 we can manage to finish n=350k-352k range within 24 hours. Rally time?
