RIP DCTF.

Just so everyone knows, all DCTF candidates at 70 bits has now been assigned.

I have adjusted the assignment code such that if MISFIT or floop is requesting assignments, the pledge is automatically bumped to 72 if it's below that. This is to ensure automatically fed GPUTF'ers are not starved.

I took a big chunk of DCTF assignments this morning that I will be working for the next ten days or so before switching back to LLTF. That should be taking us up close to 51M for DCTF.

I have two more systems coming online shortly that will be on LLTF, so I'm not totally abandoning that group.

Thanks much!

OK with me, I only have 1 card on DCTF now, a HD7970, and that is there because mfakto has a penalty on it, for higher bits (the subject was much debated before). It produces ~480GHzD/D at 71, and it may go lower, like 450 or even 430 for higher bits. But those 430 you will still get, 24/7. I have no other utility for the card right now (that computer has a core2 cpu and it does nothing else, effectively. It is only powered on for DCTF).

My 58M to 105M DCTF is bearing fruit.

The highest so far is M98174081.

I should have all the existing work done in about 10 days. Of course more keeps trickling in as suboptimally TF'ed assignments complete LL.

It might be a worthwhile effort to TF all suboptimally TF'ed exponents while they are LL assigned to clean up. While the remaining LL would be pointless, we should still do the work before DCLL anyway. Thoughts?

Not atypical ANONYMOUS has not results reported since Oct 26 but today is a Friday so fingers crossed,
Unusual though is no results from AirSquirrels since Nov 2.

Here's hoping for a couple big WHAMMMSSSS!!!!! soon

ANONYMOUS right on schedule...

1 down 1 to go.

I imagine more will come about as old high assignments are completed though.

To what bit level are you taking these exponents?

58M to 66M to 73 bits
66M to 84M to 74 bits
84M to 105M to 75 bits

I found a handful at 103M, so I decided to take those to 75 bits, too.

I picked bit levels based on James' cutoff points graph for the GTX 580, which constitutes most of my TF power.

One or two a day keep trickling out in the 76.9M range. They were trial factored to 73 bits.

Edit: Everything below 73M is done.

I'm having my old GTX570M running Misfit.
I don't really know what it's currently testing. Probably whatever makes sense?

Still, I'm extremely annoyed that I haven't had a successful (factoring) result since months (not really active 24/7).
Maybe I should redo a test with a known factor to recheck the graphics card?

[petrw1]

I've had as many as 400 unsuccessful attempts before finding a factor....anyway here are a few of my recent finds if you want to recheck. These are all TF 71-72 Bits
