GPU to 72 status...

I previously got a couple of Bit first assignments just to check things out.

I see a sample assignment displayed, but clicking "get assignments" still gives me the
"Sorry... No assignments available which match your criteria." response.

The only difference I see is that Chris set me up a long time ago to be able to download more than 100 assignments, so my page says "Limit of 1000 per request".

I'll drill down on the logs once I have a chance, but "LMH" TF assignments /should/ work (I see some assignments currently, and I ran a test when I first brought in the candidates).

Probably just a SPE. I know that "LMH Bit-first" works.

Neither bit first nor depth first gives me any assignments.

There are recycling rules in effect. They are pretty lax.

If a prime95 assignment has not reported in for a year and the assignment is < 2% complete, then it is recycled.

If it is a manual assignment, it is recycled in 1000 days.

With all due (and true) respect, could these be tightened up a bit? We're asking TF'ers to work this range, but then not appropriately (IMO) managing the LL'ing assignments.

A few examples (of MANY):

332193431 -- TF'ed to 80; P-1'ed reasonably. Obviously abandoned.

332194627 -- TF'ed to 80; P-1 stage one only. Obviously abandoned.

332195131 -- TF'ed to 80; P-1'ed reasonably. Reserved by someone more than two years ago who never even bothered to register on Primenet. No work ever done.

Sigh... As usual, an error between keyboard and chair (AKA a SPE) by me...

Please give it another try. Both "LMH Bit-first" and "LMH Depth-first" should now work. And thanks for bringing this bug forward!

Happy New Year everyone! May we put the "evil eye" further on the theoretical, and find another MP in 2019!!!

I'll move my CPU wildcat factoring to GPUto72 assignments. Also, 2 of the machines that I have ready access to I will move to dedicate them to SDC and TC exclusively.

Works OK now, thanks.

I'm getting quite a few less Ghz-d/day, down from about 1600 in the 59M range from 73 -> 74, to about 1200 here at 332M 75 -> 78.

That's to be expected; as noted above.

Dude! You're still using a CPU to TF? Are you stoned, man?

Hey, I just spent 6 months doing CPU-TF!
Of course, that was because no GPU software supports >2³² exponents...
