Prime95 Bug? I sleep all night and I work all day

M29 · 2004-03-10, 05:59

Originally I had:
Hours per day this program will run: 24 hours
Daytime Available Memory: 64 MB
Nighttime Available Memory: 64 MB
Daytime Begins [default 7:30 AM?] ends [default]

I decided to allocate more memory during nighttime, but since I am a nightowl with varying hours, I set my "daytime" to the rather unusual:

Daytime Begins [10:30 AM] ends [2:30 AM]

I made this change at 9:30 PM in the middle of P-1 factoring.

The program immediately switched over to nighttime memory configuration.

Even re-starting, Prime95 thought 9:30 PM was nighttime.

Timestamp rangecheck bug? Or did I hose it?

The machine has 512 MB, running Win98SE.

local.ini:
OldCpuType=12
OldCpuSpeed=2000
RollingStartTime=0
SelfTest768Passed=1
CPUHours=24
DayMemory=64
NightMemory=256
DayStartTime=630
DayEndTime=150
ComputerID=C352C8A5E
LastEndDatesSent=1078451555
SelfTest1280Passed=1

Hmmm. Might be a bug!

Did you stop, exit and restart Prime95 after the change?

If I remember rightly (and I might very well not!) you cannot have times wrapping around over midnight. For it to work, "Daytime begins" must be earlier in the day (i.e. less than) than "Daytime ends".

Aha, a built in feature. This is George's attempt to tell folks to keep normal hours.

It works here.
Daytime begins 11:00
Daytime end 5:00

11:00 "AM" and 5:00 "AM" ?

24h clock, so: yes

Perhaps you could try my parameters in your local.ini

:
DayStartTime=630
DayEndTime=150

I am running v23.8.1 on Win98SE

Prime95 has code in it to handle this case. Let me know if it really isn't working.
