I still like my suggestion of a self-balancing work-saved value (post #1645 in this thread) which works equally well for any exponent and factor size (including both TF and P-1).

I haven't done so yet, but I will soon include this value on my site in preference to absolute GHz-days-saved for ranking of factors. I think it would also fit well on GPU72. Or at least something similar, improvements to my idea are welcome.

I agree -- it's a logical solution which removes the need for estimating the time it will take Primenet to reach higher ranges (which was my initial suggestion).

Again, I agree.

This will mean, however, that I need to write a script to go through GPU72's database and recalculate the GHzDaysSaved values to instead be "Worth", or "Value" or some other nomenclature. (Not a big deal -- probably an hour or two's worth of work.)

Also, everyone's GHz Days Saved metric will change to be different. Some might not like this. But I do think it's a good idea.

I'm all for it, no big deal on the changes to GHz saved/done

Blast. There goes my evil plan of beating everyone with a factor of MM127.

Just noticed swl551 joined the gpu72 team.

Hope he's using MISFIT......

I thought some here might like to know...

We as a group found 4,046 LL factors below 57,885,161 before Curtis was assigned it 2012.12.12. With the Primenet rate of LLing at approximately 183 a day over the last six months, that means we helped find M48 approximately 22 days earlier than it might have otherwise been.

Also, the exponent did pass through the system -- Jerry TFed it from 72 to 73 on 2012.10.07, so I think it's appropriate that he was also named in the announcement (although as a DCer).

Thanks for all the work everyone!!!

Thanks for your work on the system! It's our pleasure and finding M48 is exactly why we're here.

Congrats, Jerry, for having a direct role in this one. Way cool!

So everyone knows, I've turned off most of GPU72's spidering of Primenet for the time being, so submitted results won't be "observed" for a little while.

She's got enough to deal with....
