After we find a twin, our next exponent will be... - Page 5

I am actually at 20000000000 (20G), but anyway, that does not matter :)

It's perfectly fine with me for TPS to sieve not in PG and do LLRs in BOINC. Probably it's even better, as it seems that the work to implement the automated sieving and processing is not quite worth it. Maybe it would be better to make a system to upload sieved files directly to PG, so that the sievers can generate workunits themselves (but again, it renders separate TPSieve website unneeded :) Maybe http://tps.primegrid.com/ ?).

About registering LLR results done in PG: every LLR result is registered in a separate database table, which is not affected by database cleanup utilities that remove the completed results (and corresponding files). The database stores k, n, isPrime, workunitID, outcome (the content of LLR output file) and, most important, userIDs that processed the specific WU. The summary of the table is available in LLR search status page.

There is no easy way to know how many results has the user processed, but in case it's needed (IE, we find a twin prime), I'll kick up a script to find the users who did the most work. Actually, if I'm not too bored after I write responses to all the people that I have to, I'll make it tonight ;)

So, I took my time and made the script to recalculate the user work counts and import it into the database. I store total TPS credit and total TPS workunits (only successful ones) as well as total TPS primes found (this is already being done for quite some time). What we need now is to display the data :)

PG has 220 users who have returned at least one workunit, with the top ones being:
1. Virus-X (33198 WUs)
2. Skligmund (30145)
3. Buckeye74 (29062)
4. KEP (14986)
5. Pentium100 (14875)

I'm the 10th one :)

Nice! Hey thanks Rytis, that eases the mind about where the records went.

I was only off by 5-6 thousand work units complete. not bad for not looking at numbers, guessing my credit, and the whole .39 thing in a couple seconds.

Again, thanks Rytis.

I'm surprised...220 users with PG TPS credit. That's quite a bit higher than I was expecting. It's good news. In less than a month the twin prime search went from 21 users with credit to ~10 times that!!!

Now if we can get 66 more users...and have all 286 do 1/2M a day, we'll get the 1G/wk I want. Gotta find that twin by June 2007 and get a head start on the 100,000 digit twin!

Congrats to everyone who's making this work.

Also, congrats to Rytis for fixing the suspend WU problem and moving one step closer to final beta.

Well, i was going through some stats that i was able to see, and in the top LLR Prime finders page, probably 10% or so are no longer crunching the LLRs, and I'd imagine a lot of the others were just checking it out. But it is nice to see the interest!

Good point. The votes will be counted by the end of this year.

This is nothing more than a formality, but the voting is closed. 333,333 will be our next n, and sieving on it has started.

View Poll Results: The next exponent should be...
under n=250,000	4	25.00%
between 250,000-300,000	2	12.50%
between 300,000-350,000	10	62.50%
between 350,000-400,000	0	0%
above n=400,000	0	0%
