If that's not too much of a pain for you, but would be really useful.

In my mind there is now no question that we're going to have to start releasing at 72 again for at least a while.

I had hoped that the "surge" would only last for a few days, but the press coverage has been very successful, and the downloads I'm seeing for the Prime95 / mprime clients from my mirror are only increasing at the moment....

Did I mention I am actually on the GPU72 team now..... Must comply with the boss!

Thanks for the reconfiguration, and for joining the Primenet GPU72 team!

And I'm not the boss (I know you were joking), George is. I'm just a facilitator who happens to have access to a great deal of real-time information which I bring to everyone's attention when appropriate.

All done. I have 6 left to 73 that were already in progress and then everything else is 72. It will take MISFIT a couple of hours to populate my work files, but I picked up 100 for now.

Coolness! Thanks.

If all of our firepower moves from going to 73 to instead go to 72, we should be good. This surge can't last forever! (Can it?

)

Also, as I mentioned earlier, we'll probably have something like a 80% chance to bring each candidate back in for appropriate processing (or, at least, to 73...) in a couple of months.

Flash,
Don't forget you can click the "Add Work" button and execute push-button fetches to load up faster.

Before the big announcement Primenet was only handing out about 183 candidates a day (taking into account the expires which get recycled). At that rate we had about a 30 day lead, and were very slowing gaining (going to 73).

The number of LL assignments being issued by Primenet is now around 1,000 a day!!!

Therefor, I have temporarily lowered the default TF level for LL from 73 to 72, in preparation for having to start releasing at that level. I've also lowered the number of candidates at 73 cached for P-1 work, and will continue to lower this number as the need arises.

We still have about a three day lead, but unless we can produce about 1,000 TF results to at least 72 a day, we're toast!

Also, it would be helpful if those who are doing P-1 work would complete and return them to Primenet as soon as possible.

GPU72.com out....

Chris, I am sure the announcement has brought in lots of new participates but I'm wondering if you how much mfaktc 0.20 increased the number of CPUs that started to run p95. I went from 0 p95 threads to 23 threads once all my equipment was converted to 0.20.

thx

The assignment surge correlates perfectly with the "new prime" news coverage. It correlates very (very) lightly with mfaktc 0.20 -- well below statistical significance.

Not at all to take away from Oliver's, George's and rcv's amazing and significant work on 0.20, but the surge we're seeing is because of the new prime.

Also, please keep in mind, I think (do not know) that many who suddenly found themselves with spare CPU capacity started doing P-1. I know I did.

I'll make the change when I have a chance to go through everything. Have guests right now.
