Is this because of memory bandwidth? I was thinking about running four n1-highcpu-2s instead of one n1-highcpu-8 but the setup on GCE is more difficult because there's no elastic file system (that I can find). I'll try it now and see how my throughput changes.

EDIT: Just realised I can make a snapshot of the first disk to create new disks (duh!). Also the free tier includes 5GBs of snapshot storage.

Okay, looks like my throughput has improved from 3.7ms/iter to 14.3ms/iter ÷ 4 = 3.575ms/iter. Thanks for the advice!

Queued and got assignment key.

I understand the need for an assignment key. If a person wants to run the test on a GPU, they have to first load it into Prime95 to get the key, then stop it and transfer the assignment to CUDALucas. This seems a little impractical. If there is another way, I am not aware of it.

Uncwilly · 2019-01-10, 21:37

For the moment and foreseeable future, to get specific assignments yes, you have to use Prime95. If you want to get generic LL checks, at one point you could do it through GPUto72.

No longer...

Before the current assignment rules were enacted (in 2014), GPU72 made low LL and DC assignments available by way of a once-a-night spider run which harvested expired candidates, and a "trick" which involved anonymous assignments being transferred to official accounts.

While the proxy which was created to automate this process still works, GPU72 now simply forwards all LL & DC requests to Primenet to assign.

My word! How time flies (Are we there, yet?

)....

Currently, I am getting my DC assignments from the server. No worries about not having AID's. From time-to-time, I run some GPUto72 exponents. This is TF at the wavefront. GPUto72 is only TF and PM1 now. I do not see any links for DC. I used to run exponents shown here but they get picked out so fast, I no longer try. It think it is because I only come here if I get an email notification about something I am watching.
