 2009-01-27, 09:41 #60 gd_barnes     May 2007 Kansas; USA 1022110 Posts As of 11 PM AZ time on Jan. 26th (6 AM GMT Jan. 27th), here is an updated count of all primes found in the 8th drive. It includes 2 primes not yet posted since they have not been submitted at top-5000 yet: Code:  k primes 1400-1500 32 1500-1600 33 1600-1700 34 Total 99 k primes 1700-1800 18 1800-1900 24 1900-2000 18 Total 60 Now, if you assume that the 23-3 start was just some random abberation and that it should be random from that point forward, subtracting that off still gives 76-57 in favor of k=1400-1700. With the former k-range continuing to dominate, clearly k=1400-1700 must have a higher avg. weight than k=1700-2000. If anyone has time to look up and compute the avg. from www.rieselprime.org, I'd be very curious to see it. If it's not the weight, than something else is going on. If we are getting a higher percentage of primes from almost the same # of candidates in a sieve file for 2 distinct ranges, than we may have what we've been hoping for if this continues to run at such an alarming advantage for the smaller k-range...that is proof that these things may not be as random as we think they are! Looking for this type of deviation from the norm is part of the reason the project was started...to have enough searched ranges without holes in them to prove a non-random deviation. A little wishful thinking just yet but certainly worth further investigation. Gary

The average weight of k=1400-1700 is 1805.600. For k=1700-2000 it is 1746.167. That's a difference of 59.433. I'm not terribly familiar with what weights mean what, but that seems like an insignificant difference to me. (For reference, my two k's I've reserved in the individual k drive are weighted 1463 and 1416, a difference of 47. Over 600K-1M, the difference in the number of candidates is only 137.) I think something else is going on, whether random or not.
Edit: By the way, k=1400-1700 has 3885 primes listed on that page, k=1700-2000 has 3789 primes. This correlates closely to the weights, not the recent bunching.

 2009-01-28, 15:49 #62 gd_barnes     May 2007 Kansas; USA 3·3,407 Posts I have now processed the results for this drive up to n=360K. I have compared primes found vs. the 1st post in this thread, the k=300-2000 page, and Karsten's 8th drive page. Everything looks good. Karsten, the only inconsistency that I found was that you don't have k=1647 highlighted in blue on the k=300-2000 page. It appears that you are showing all k's where NPLB has found a new prime in blue. We found 1647*2^351262-1 prime. Max or Ian, whenever you can, please process the results for n=360K-400K for this drive to me. The lowest k/n pair in the server is now n>400K. Thanks, Gary

Max, I took care of it (I hope) Ian

Results emailed (6.5mb zipped) Whew

Thanks--I'm glad that now there's at least three people who can process results now (myself, Gary, and you). And since I've been very busy lately and haven't had much time to devote to stuff like processing results, that is greatly appreciated.

Well, I'm still in training so what I did may be junk. LOL

oh, you forgot the fourth one - ME!

but results for 7 (in words S E V E N) servers it's hard to process them and update the pages too!
