PRPNet released!

[Sloth]

Is it possible to do a stats page based on client ID. And since I think I am asking for something that has not been coded yet the information I would like to see is: last reserve date/time, last return date/time, total tests done by the client.

It's possible. I'll think about it.

What file formats are supported by the PRPnet server? I've tried a few different ones, but it rejects each for some reason. Can someone please post an example of something that works?

Try ABC format ( $a*2^$b-1 )

If you have problem create work on a new server do a empty prpserver.candidates in the server directory

/Lennart

ABC $a*2^$b-1
1223 454656

You may need todo prpserver -i filename.zxy

PRPNet supports the following ABC formats as listed in ABCParser.cpp:

// Cullen/Woodall form from gcwsieve (fixed base)
static char *cwfbpstring = "$a*%d^$a%d";
static char *cwfbastring = "$a*%d^$a$%c";

// Cullen/Woodall form from gcwsieve (variable base)
static char *cwvbpstring = "$a*$b^$a+1";
static char *cwvbmstring = "$a*$b^$a-1";
static char *cwvbastring = "$a*$b^$a$c";

// Fixed k forms for k*b^n+/-1
static char *fkpstring = "%d*$a^$b%d";
static char *fkastring = "%d*$a^$b$%c";

// Fixed b forms for k*b^n+/-1
static char *fbpstring = "$a*%d^$b%d";
static char *fbastring = "$a*%d^$b$%c";

// Fixed n forms for k*b^n+/-1
static char *fnpstring = "$a*$b^%d%d";
static char *fnastring = "$a*$b^%d$%c";

// Any form of k*b^n+/-1
static char *abcpstring = "$a*$b^$c+1";
static char *abcmstring = "$a*$b^$c-1";
static char *abcastring = "$a*$b^$c$d";

// Any form of n!+/-1 (factorials)
static char *factpstring = "$a!+1";
static char *factmstring = "$a!-1";
static char *factastring = "$a!+$b";

// Any form of n#+/-1 (primorials)
static char *primpstring = "$a#+1";
static char *primmstring = "$a#-1";
static char *primastring = "$a#+$b";

Where you see %d, it can be '+1' or '-1'. %c should be the character 'c'.

Thanks, that works. I think I tried similar forms already...maybe it doesn't like having any more or less than k and n as the variables.
Thanks for the full list, rogue.

Hm...it's possible that I'm just doing something wrong, but it seems that aborted tests (where the client does Ctrl-C, then option 1) are never tested. I'm using 2.1.2 on Windows. The server is local.
Here's what the completed_tests.log file looks like with aborted tests: (the first two were aborted, the third was actually tested)

[2009-05-12 21:07:01 GMT] 349*2^100009-1:  Email: [removed]  Program:   Residue:   DoubleCheck? No
[2009-05-12 21:07:01 GMT] 349*2^100011-1:  Email: [removed]  Program:   Residue:   DoubleCheck? No
[2009-05-12 21:08:25 GMT] 349*2^100013-1:  Email: [removed]  Program: cllr.exe  Residue: F73758933DF3566C  DoubleCheck? No

I am wondering what is going to happen on a client side if the client is terminated by means of system shutdown / restart rather than Ctrl+C... It would be especially valid for clients ran as a service or hidden in some other way (e.g. runh.exe). Is there some default action that would be taken upon client restart?

You should still see the entry in the prpserver.candidates file, but with no "inprogress" line associated with the candidate. It should not log anything if the test is aborted. There is a time setting in prpserver.delay where the server will wait a specified number of minutes/hours/days before resending a number out for testing again. This is based upon the decimal length of the number.

If the client is stopped through a method such as you describe, then it will terminate without reporting anything to the server. I've been thinking about adding a default stop/start action to the ini file, but haven't done anything yet.

IMHO the default action should be to continue where it left (e.g. from last progress file if available) as if nothing really happened

Oh ok. That was a big part of it, but it still doesn't seem to put aborted numbers back in the queue for first-time testing. If the server is set to doublecheck, it works as expected, otherwise it seems to take the empty result as good and not check it again. I'll do a bit more testing a little later to verify the part about a non-doublecheck server. Edit: I just confirmed this. Aborted tests (just to clarify, I mean where you do Ctrl-C and choose option 1, which sends to the server "Test Abandoned") on a no-doublecheck server are never again made available for testing.

I think that I see an issue with the server where it check for an abandoned test is incorrect. I'll do some testing.
