Bandwidth and site hosting.

Xyzzy · 2007-08-09, 02:39

We've been monitoring our bandwidth-o-meter for the last few months and we have a ton left over at the end of every month. We also have a lot of disk space, too.

So if you have a project or some (math related) files that need to be on a fast pipe let us know. We have the ability to handle domain names and crap like that as well.

There are tons of little math projects scattered all over the place that seem to eventually disappear because the hosting provider goes belly up or whatever. We can provide a pretty stable environment for the impressive sum of free.

You can't beat free, even with a stick.

Some thing like this would be cool

Give us a forum name and a volunteer to moderate it and it shall be so.

You can mark me as the moderator. As for the forum name we can call it "small distributed projects" or "open distributed projects" (since this forum is open for anyone to start their own project etc) or some thing else if anyone has a better idea.... Do you have any suggestions?

Xyzzy, this idea might turn out to be a dead end, but we can easily delete/archive the whole forum if it turns out to be.

Could you also move http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=5893 into the forum.

Thanks

Done.

While this is a very good idea and long overdue, it will not make a dent in our bandwidth or storage excess.

Any other ideas?

The longest journey begins with a single step.

There's a sub-forum at distributedcomputing.info that made for coming up with ideas for projects. Maybe we should make a post there detailing that we would like SMALL projects, and see if anybody shows up.

Citrix · 2007-08-11, 03:18

I was just at that sub-forum and thinking of the same thing.

Do you want to post there?

This doesn't necessarily fit the new forum idea, but has anyone ever thought about making a program that finds primes of no special form that are quirky for whatever reason? For instance, naughty primes, primes where the vast majority of digits are zero; beastly primes(number of the beast), primes with 666 in the exact center and the same digit repeated on either side; palindromic primes, primes where the digits read the same forward and backward; tetradic primes, primes which stay the same number when flipped to the left, right, or upside down, and many other possibilities.

Xyzzy · 2007-08-11, 03:23

That site is new to us. Interesting idea.

We'd like to have a lot more stuff here but getting the word out is difficult and a lot of the esoteric stuff is still done via email lists and stuff.

We're so glad we don't have ads here.

PFGW does this, but you need some scripts to generate the digital representation of the number first.
