What can I do to make the search go quicker?

Lurling · 2017-04-02, 18:34

Hi!

Started LL-search on the number M332352707. Currently, it says the ETA is over 117 days. Anything I can do to make the search go faster?

Thanks.

Use the fastest RAM you can, use more RAM channels, add more CPU cores.

That's not an unreasonable time for such a large exponent.

If you want assignments that go fast, try double checks.

Hmm, I don't know how to do that. Where do I go?

If you aren't familiar with customizing the hardware in your machine, then the simple answer is that you'll need a more powerful machine if you want the test to run faster.

Basically it means upgrading your hardware. If you bought a prebuilt system off the shelf, chances are it's not upgradable in a way that's useful for Prime95.

Make sure that you are using the best (latest) version of Prime95 for your machine. If you have a 64-bit operating system, use the 64-bit version of Prime95. Go to Control Panel -> System from the windows button. Image attached to show where to look.

In my case it's the processor (Haswell ain't what it used to be), everything else...
