Mlucas on HP-UX/PA-RISC setup question

Wow, thank you. This is help from the source if I understand correctly!

And - it works! Mlucas is running, using almost 100% CPU. I no doubt have some learning ahead about how to make this process reliable and about how to properly submit any results that may emerge - but I thank you for getting me going! What a great project!

Glad to hear it - if you would be so kind as to paste the first few checkpoint summary lines from the p[exponent].stat file and maybe provide the salient stats about your system, I'd appreciate it.

We are hard at work on the next rev of the code, which will include automated primenet-based assignment/results management, so hopefully the manual method will soon be a relic of the past.

Have Fun,
-Ernst

Thanks again for your help. That's great news regarding the next version.

Here are the first few lines of p30000037.stat:

And here is some information about the system:

# uname -a
HP-UX hp B.11.11 U 9000/785 2012702596 unlimited-user license
# model
9000/785/C3750
# getconf KERNEL_BITS
64

It is a HP C3750, with PA-8700+ processor (875 MHz) with 2.25 MB on-chip L1 cache and 2GB of PC120 SDRAM installed. If there is any other information that would be helpful, just let me know.

Thanks, smoky -

0.19 sec/iter for a 1664K FFT @ 875 MHz translates to a similar per-cycle throughput as Prime95's optimized SSE2 assembly code gets on a Core 2 processor - not bad for high-level compiled code. Too bad the PA-RISCs aren't available n 3GHz+ models, eh?

But - we do what we can, eh? Should be a fine platform for double-checking.

cheers,
