Primenet web design

[tha]

I personlly like http://mersenne.info/exponent_status...aph_video/0/0/

But everyone should be able to download the serverdata and daily updates fairly easy so as to be able to make ones own manipulations. So that should be made possible more easily. Maybe being able to download a daily generated zipped xml file or so.

Operation Billion Digits has been discontinued since the lower ranges have been completed by GPUs. We admitted that GPU work was better suited for "real" projects like GIMPS and Fermat search.
From time to time (no more than twice per year) there is someone who asks to add one bit or one exponent, but apart from that we stopped.

That's a pretty good idea.

My real job got busy this week so I haven't had as much time to tinker, but I'll definitely look at doing that.

The assignments page no longers displays the column 'CPU name'

The column 'Assigned' displays the wrong date.

To the contrary! I agree, it's rather cumbersum, and over time some ranges have had errors introduced.

It would be /much/ better in my mind if this was (re)implemented on Primenet and thus have accurate and "canonal" data.

The CPU name shows up if you hover over the account name. I didn't think the CPU name would be of much use to anyone except the account holder, and in that case they're better off looking at their own CPUs report anyway. Or is there some reason people might want to scrape the CPU names of other people? That would be weird if you ask me. I guess if there was some machine that kept returning suspect results, it would be interesting to keep an eye on any other assignments that particular machine was working on, but I don't know... that's the only thing I could think of.

The assigned date should be correct. Do you have an example of one where you think it's not showing up right? I can look into it, but as far as I know it's showing the assigned date properly.

FYI, based on Retina's idea, I added a link on the exponent itself that takes you straight to the full details for that number. You can click on that and see the assigned date in there to double-check.

I just got around to trying this... unfortunately it didn't help me out. I set that option but it seems like it would then uncheck the "use primenet" option in the process, so it still wouldn't let me check in my benchmark results.

Oh well... it was worth a shot.

Presumably Chis[sic] who can't spell "cumbersome".

adjective

• awkward because of size, weight, or shape
• difficult because of extent or complexity
• burdensome; troublesome.
• unwieldy; clumsy.

I don't understand your language, I am left guessing!
Some forums discourage responses regarding spelling faults, yet this is an English (of one kind or another) forum is it not?

I was puzzled by that expression, and remain so.
I imagined that it might be intended as canonical data, but since there were quotation marks I suspect that there might be another purpose that I have not recognised.

I think it is a contraction abbreviation, of sorts, of "What the F*ck is this? Leave off the "what", and slur through the remainder. Oh yeah. The spelling is a bit idiosyncratic, too.

One More EDIT: It also may be Francophone influenced.
