Team StarQwest will reach 200 CPU years by the end of February! My goal is to reach 1000 and to have dozens of members within a year. Instructions for joining are located at http://www.starqwest.org/page4.html. Its free, and Team StarQwest is quickly moving into higher ranks.

Congratulations on being the first to test a 100M+ exponent, though. :)

[StarQwest]

Thanks.

Am I right in assuming that the double check verified
your test of 100,000,007 and that the extra row on the
Status Page shows this one doublecheck >79,300,000 in
all its splendid isolation?

No. My bad. I'll fix the status page next update.

I see StarQuest and Yxine are both testing numbers over 100,000,000 (all asterisks on the report). Any hints which ones?

Yxine is double checking M100,000,007. I have reserved M332,192,831 (the first 100 million digit mersenne number) and will begin trial factoring it tomorrow night (notice the number of days remaining for this test: it is >5,200!)

My, aren't we ambitious..and trusting that the software will work for a number that big. 14+ years - Assuming the project continues, I suspect every number below 79,300,000 will be complete by then and I suspect that will be worth a goodly number of points.

It won't really take 14 years. Even if I kept using my current computer for the entirety of the test, it would finish in just under 11 years. However I fully expect to upgrade my computer in about a year, and by then, computers will be much faster and will be able to complete the test in much less time. I would say around 3-4 years max for this test to complete. When it finishes, it will be worth ~900 CPU years!

I just finished trial factoring M332,192,831 to 2^75. I am now trial factoring to 2^76. So far, no factor has been found. Check out the "Team StarQwest" page of www.StarQwest.org to see my current status.
