Simple Script to get Trial Factoring Work

jfamestad · 2016-10-30, 21:03

I am using mfaktc to trial factor on my GPU's. I fond the submission spider script awhile back for submitting results, but I had enough trouble finding a script to get work that I ended up writing one. Maybe someone else will find it useful too. The parameters are hardcoded and work for my use case but it would be trivial to make it a bit more flexible with some command line options if there is any interested.

You may find it more useful to use http://www.mersenne.org/manual_gpu_assignment/ in your script. You can grab up to 1000 assignments at a time.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. Also, I went ahead and added some CLI options to make it more flexible.

There is an old python script by teknohog as well.
https://github.com/teknohog/primetools

It gets and submits work and makes sure your worktodo is never empty.
