Code: [Setup] MaxConcurrentTasks=8 SieveUpperBound=2^32 [Backtrack] Count=1 [1, backtrack:1] Type=4 Gain=3 Index=1.10120 D=-335755 H/G=96/8:12 [1] Type=4 Gain=62 Index=1.30522 D=-1904820 H/G=320/16:20 It all makes sense now. I've always trusted that Gain meant literally a gain in bits.

I guess you never got to Test 10? Doesn't matter, I started it...

I can search for that folder... The newer and newer Primo version are probably increasingly better trained for larger and larger sizes; so the later you start, the better chances are to arrive earlier.
 2013-05-15, 20:12 #367 Puzzle-Peter     Jun 2009 2×5×67 Posts Never mind searching for the folder. I won't get near that box for several days now, so it will just run its course anyway. Backtracking can be manipulated via the primo.ini file so I might have to do that and start once again. We'll see.

I'll leave that to others though. Last fiddled with by Puzzle-Peter on 2013-12-03 at 16:26

Not just top Primo proof, but the third largest ECPP ever completed (at least on this planet.) Maybe we should rename this project "Seventeen or Bust" since we have exactly seventeen prps left to prove.

Congratulations, Peter, it looks like you started in May? How many cores?

 2013-12-03, 18:22 #371 Puzzle-Peter     Jun 2009 10100111102 Posts Most of the proof was done on a dual Xeon machine with 16 threads on 16 physical cores. I found a 1:1 ratio to be the fastest.
 2014-05-15, 17:12 #372 Puzzle-Peter     Jun 2009 2·5·67 Posts Just for fun I tried 2^73360+10711 once again with PRIMO 4.10. This version was successful in test1 thanks to the new discriminant tables. It will be an on-and-off job, but I will continue this run unless somebody else would rather do it.

How long does it take to prove these numbers prime?

Using good hardware (16 physical cores in a dual-XEON box) it's about 3 to 4 months going 24/7. Runtime depends heavily on how much backtracking is needed, especially in the beginning when one backtrack can easily cost 2 days, so it's hard to give a precise estimate.
