DoubleCheck vs LL assignments

2006-03-21, 03:43

Hello

I have been running v24.14 as separate NT services on a 4-way 3.0 GHz Xeon for some time. However I notice I am *always* getting DoubleCheck work even though my processor's speed means I should always get LL work.

How can I force LL testing? Also how can I make sure I only get 10 million+ digit assignments? I have many machines on the job doing all sorts of stuff but I want this one to be my special big number system for the time being!

I can't seem to find this info on the forums, any pointers would be excellent.

Thanks for a great site.

select the menu of Test -> PrimeNet
and then uncheck the item of
"Request whatever type of work makes the most sense"

select a proper type of numbers to caculate under the
four types.

Ahh, no problems - I have done this and it changes a value in prime.ini from WorkPreference=0 to WorkPreference=18

From a cursory look, I am not sure if that is all that's changed but it seems to be the case.

Thank you again for your assistance.

what's the workpreference code for just LL testing (not 10M digits)?

Use the menu. Under 'Test'->'PrimeNet'. It is faster than editting the .ini

What would putting an 8 do in there? Some old function that has been discontinued?

Suse's "rc.local" is called "/etc/init.d/boot.local" to which should add the command line given by xilman (post 2.)
