Also within two weeks I'll need an LL column in the Worker's Progress window :)

As I understood, that is already implemented, but waiting for some data (same as it happened with the DC column).

Oh. I'll be happy to oblige. Shall we start a 'pot'?

LaurV · 2011-11-30, 07:10

"Pot"?? All resources busy for the next 40 hours or so... Primenet LL-front assignment (one expo) on one card - about 38 hours ETA, and GPU-2-72 (two expos) DC assignment on second card (ETA about 40 hours together). But if you like, I would stop the current LL when I arrive home this evening and take one LL assignment from GPU272.

Generally I avoided to take "first LL" work from GPU-2-72, because TF-ing at LL front seems more profitable then LL-ing, about 3 to 5 times more profitable, according with the overall progress table. One can find a factor every two-three days, and saves 2 LL-s which would take 10-14 days.

Contrary to TF-ing at DC-front, which seems less profitable then DC-ing, about half of the benefit, as I said in my former posts in this thread, and it can be seen in the table, now after we collected enough data. One can find a DC-front factor every two days, but he would need one day to DC the exponent and get rid of it. Of course, finding factors is cool...

But I would really suggest TF-only for LL-front, and DC-only for DC-front, for the time being. And that is what I am doing. No TF at DC front, and no LL at LL-front. This to be clear :D

Until the overall tables would look differently... Just my tuppence.

Oops. Turns out my first GPU272 exponents won't be done until December... Unless I put them ahead...
Edit: I've now done that, if only to start two exponents at exactly the same time to see which one completes first, and how far apart they are when they finish. It'll be almost exactly 15 days.
(@LaurV: I do do TF work, on my GPU. I just happen to have cores left over for P95, which primarily run LL tests.)

I have just checked the Worker´s Progress table, and noted that GPU to 72 has become a Holy Project: God Himself did care to join!

(prime95 appears on the list of workers). But so far God didn´t create anything... no results showing up yet.

Gee, there is also the Invisible Man!

Hmm.. just became visible (or else vanished from the list).

Could be LL or DC

@chalsall: How about a "total" line for the two tables with "cost per factor found?" Like add all in the "Run" and "F" columns, and use the same formula as in the table to compute the gigs-days. A general total for each table and a general total for all the project would be welcomed too, however this will imply a third small table (with two rows and a total row) beside/under the two tables already there, or, if you don't like the idea with the third table, then a new column on the right of each of the two tables would suffice too, and sum them horizontally. Then the lower-right cells of the tables will show the general total.
