Thanks. But I don't seem to be able to find the relevant section in undoc.txt (or readme or whatsnew for that matter). What keyword should I search for?

[Prime95]

maybe I screwed up building the package

LINUX/FREEBSD ONLY:  When mprime runs out of work to do, it normally loops waiting for the
server to assign more work.  This prime.txt option can be used to have mprime exit
when all workers runs out of work.  Note this probably only makes sense when UsePrimenet=0
or when UsePrimenet=1 and NoMoreWork=1.
	ExitWhenOutOfWork=n
where n is the number of seconds to wait before exiting.  Waiting several seconds
gives mprime some time to send the last results to the server.

Thank you. I'll try it out today and let you know how it goes.

It works as expected (at least for my use case)!

I run the command-line version of Prime95 on my Mac because I find it easier than a GUI. I noticed that the latest command-line version is 28.7, while the Mac GUI is 29.8b6, as is the Linux command-line version. Will an updated Mac command-line version be released?

Expected completion dates for P-1 of type P-1=1,300000000,242166,1,20000,200000 is totally messed up. Prime predicts that for every candidate needs around 24 days on worker with 2 cores: in real candidate is processed in less then 15 minutes

Such low bounds will not clear the P-1 task from the database unless a factor is found by the P-1 run. Perhaps the duration being calculated is for the full sufficient bounds. I have another 5 weeks to go on a 6-core run of an M901M that's showing 34% complete in stage 1. https://www.mersenneforum.org/showpo...92&postcount=3

Try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fdra82vuuj2woa2/mprime?dl=0
It is the executable only. The Clang tool chain forced a dependency on OS 10.9.

When running mprime 29.8 build 6, if I choose torture test, blend, then answer Y to customize settings, when choosing the Max FFT size it won't accept anything above 4096. Attempting to do so results in a message "Please enter a value between 64 and 4096".

EDIT: If it matters, this is the 32-bit version.

It might matter. Does your machine support SSE2? If not, there are no FFTs larger than 4M available.
