Tracking the Old Assignments

petrw1 · 2007-01-02, 17:02

PREAMBLE: I report these strictly for their statistical value or for the curious. I am not in any way criticizing those that manage the assignments. I trust their handling of them.

There are 1,188 assignments from prior to 2006, the oldest is from Dec 31, 2002 (now over 4 years ago),

One is from 2002, 15 from 2003, 122 from 2004 and 1,051 from 2005.

85 are over 90% complete; 259 are over 75% complete; 487 are over 50% complete; 314 have not reported any interations yet. (DISCLAIMER: these stats may be slightly incorrect since I can tell for sure how far complete "F" assignments are)

Big players are: agc:16 assignments (+); CaptianEntropy:46 (-); hreid:14 (+); jr007j:10 (-); meresejev:28 (+); RU:92 (-); S16447:69 (+); S263903:17 (-); S404125:17 (-); SW:192 (+); Team_Prime_Rib:13 (+)

LEGEND: (+) Making Good Progress; (-) Little or, in most cases, no progress. These 5 accounts have 182 assignments that are at least a year old showing virtually no progress.

17 are less than a week away from expiring.
287 are overdue (negative number of days to go)
Exponent 35047253 reports almost 26 years to go
19 have more than 5 years to go
63 have more than a year to go
237 have more than 100 days to go
313 have more than the current limit of 60 days to go

And finally, 12 are within the current focus range (14 Million) - all double-checking and all showing progress with completion likely within the month.

The very odd assigments (5 years to go for instance) have been reported more than once, I posted about it in the following thread : Strange expiry dates but there are others.

In my opinion any assignement that did not report in the last 6 months should be released. Why 6months ? The maximum holiday period one can input in prime95 is 120 days and in the rules it is stated that one must report at least every 2 months.

Unfortunately there is no automatic way of identifying such exponents. If the Primenet server worked as intended any exponent not reported in 120 days would actually expire. However, for some strange reason some of these exponents are missed by the server. If you provide us with a list of exponents that have shown no or very little progress in 2006, or have enormous expiry dates - not finish dates mind you - I can check the list and send it to George. He can manually remove those assignments from Primenet and make them available for testing again.

The assignments of "amd-overcloc" are strange as well even if recent : how can one achieve expiry dates so far in the future (two years) ? There must be a combination of parameters that has the server go tilt.

If you want a list of exponents with no progress report in 120 days I can try to provide it as well.

Seems to make at least some progress, latest progress report: Today, Expiry date seems OK too.

That's funny. That exponent appeared on my radar as well a week ago. It claims to have spend 4 years on this assignment and needing another 20 years to finish it. In 20 years even the double checks should be well past this point. This month it will become the lowest 10M assignment without a result checked in. I weighted poaching the exponent but decided that it would be better to first try finding a factor of it using the P-1 method with B1=8M and B2=80M. If that fails (roughly 95% chance) I will run this exponent on a 2400 Core 2 machine.

Strange enough the line says, that it has run for 4 years, and "only" a few days more than 1 year (387 days) to go.

As of today it is approx. 17,3% done. If it continues running at the same "speed", it will take another 19 years. Maybe it has been moved to a somewhat faster machine? The next weeks will show...

While amd-overcloc is strange indeed I think it is a bit premature to expire those exponents. I would also appreciate if you give me a list of exponents that have not been updated for over 150 days - just to be safe - and I will combine the two lists and send them to George.
