Sr2sieve on PPC/Linux - Page 2

Never mind. It wasn't actually using the ASM code. To get it to do that, I have to add -D__ppc64__ and change the entry points in the .s files to remove the leading _. Once I do that it segfaults just like 1.2.2.

Without the ASM code, it is running slower than 1.2.2 for a sr2work.txt of 27300, 273025. It's running around 148000 p/sec vs. 155000 p/sec.

Was the starting value 27300 or 273000? The second one should be about 7% faster than the first one.

Sorry for the typo; it was 273000. I set one core to work on that range (273000-273025) since I've already done it once & can compare the factors273000.txt files. I won't have any way to check the results until tomorrow, but when I last looked at it today it was holding steady in the 148000 p/sec range.

And just for clarity, I did start the new client with the "-s" flag and with SoB.dat present (the same SoB.dat file that I've used for all runs).

BlisteringSheep · 2006-11-15, 20:37

The run with the new 1.3.3 client is complete. The CPU was one core of a 2.5 GHz 970MP. Rate was 149457 p/sec. Used SoB.dat for the range [273000, 273025]. The 1.3.3 client found only:
273007156439257 | 225931*2^40191656+1

For comparison, the 1.2.2 client ran at approximately 155500 p/sec, and found the following:
273005642053939 | 10223*2^30572969+1
273007156439257 | 225931*2^40191656+1
273012258141967 | 258317*2^4553159+1
273013881908563 | 90527*2^22497551+1

273024206407651 | 10223*2^23639849+1

As a reminder, neither of these are using the assembly code for expmod-ppc64.s or mulmod-ppc64.s. The O/S is RedHat Linux AS4, compiler is gcc3.4.3.

That is a worry :-(. It is also strange that it is slower than 1.2.2, I would have expected it to be at least one third faster. I will check this range on my system tonight and see if I can figure out what is happening.

Thanks for taking the time to compile and test this.

I have checked the x86 versions, 1.2.2, 1.2.7, 1.3.3 and 1.3.4 find all 9 factors.

When compiled with DEBUG=yes in Makefile, version 1.4.0 will print some data to check the contents of the Legendre symbol tables. The data for sequence k*b^n+c depends only on k,b,c and the parity of n, so it should not change between different versions of SoB.dat. Can you compile this version and check that your data matches mine below?

Code:

10223*2^n+1: length=40892, popcount=20444, checksum=415534282

265711*2^n+1: length=265711, popcount=132855, checksum=470581841

Also in version 1.4.0 there is a small test program 'srtest' that will compute b^n (mod p) for a million random values of p and check the results with GMP. This should reveal any problems in the mulmod()/powmod() functions. (I found some errors in the i386 assembler code using this program, which are fixed in version 1.4.0, but the non-assembler versions checked out fine).

Here's the output after a compile with ARCH=ppc64 DEBUG=yes using SoB.dat. I get the same output with either 1.4.0 or 1.4.1

Does this mean that the asm segfault issue has been resolved or do I still need to help you with it?

It is still segfaulting. Those changes to the asm files and the -x switch were just to get it to compile and link. So if you've got time to work on it, I've finally gotten this PowerMac up.

This is a big problem, all the bitmaps are corrupt. I will send you a program to test the bitmap code tomorrow if I can't find the bug tonight.

I have isolated and resolved the issue. Apparently r2 must be saved and restored in this environment. Under OS X, r2 can be used without such a precaution. I've send the updated code to geoff.
