98.00M to 98.05M Excluded Values

storm5510 · 2009-08-17, 19:12

I'm going to take this range. Everything has been factored to 65 except the very top exponent. It says 71.

Note: I don't know how many values are in this group. I am going to write a small VB application to properly format each line to work in a "worktodo" file. This might take a little bit.

If there are any issues with this range, let me know.

How many bits are you taking it to?

First exponent 2^72. It's at 2^71 now.

The rest 2^66.

The VB app was a flop. It had trouble dealing with all the commas.

I tried Excel. No joy there.

Is there any reasonably fast way to get these formatted correctly? There are 1,166 in the group. No way am I doing all that by hand!

Any text editor with a good macro facility. I use TextPad.

I use notepad. I find ",," and replace with ",66" or the desired level to factor to. Then I would search for "980" and replace with "factor=980". Then I would scan the file by eye for all incidents where 980 was in the middle of the exponet and fix them by hand.

UBasic or QBasic could handle the task. There is a line input function that would read the whole line as a string. Add "factor=" to the begining of string, then delete the last character of the string, then add "66" to the end.

I was able to do it fairly quickly with MS Word, using Find and Replace.

To format the front, I searched for "980", since all my values began with that, and replaced with "Factor=980".

The back was "65,," replaced with "65,66".

I scrolled down to look for errors and didn't see any.

There are 1166 entries, so I put "[Worker #1] at the top, and did a line search for 583, half the total, and put "[Worker #2]" there.

Edit: And I see Uncwilly did the same with Notepad.

you can use an editor which handles regular expressions:

to replace "9800xxx" with "factor=9800xx"

search for: ^98 (-> means beginning of the line)
replace : factor=98

to apend ,66 at the end of each line

search for: $ (-> means end of line)
replace : ,66

i'm using PSPad. perhaps syntax is different with other editors.

I had to re-divide my workload. The 2^72 value at the very top, for Worker #1, is going to take 8 days to finish. So, I took just about everything else and gave it to Worker #2.

I'll post my results in this thread on a daily basis, unless somewhere else is more appropriate.

I personally would not waste my time on a single expo from 71 to 72. I would only focus my effort on the lower ones. I don't recall, but you may be getting close to the max recommended level prior to P-1. For the 332,000,000 range it is at 75 or 76.

storm5510 · 2009-08-18, 00:11

I was tempted to drop it out of the list. If it will not hurt anything, I will. It can always be picked up later. Below is the value to "unreserve".

98000027,71,72

I decided to let P95 contact the PrimeNet server. I sat here for what seem like ages while the server gave assignment numbers for every exponent in my worktodo file. I've also got what Windows thinks is a Shockwave Object file.

It appears the expected completion date for this batch is somewhere in late October.
