Hmm...550.1-550.6 is already reserved by you, as part of your larger 550.0-550.7 reservation. Did you mean to say that 550.1-550.6 is completed?

Bump on 544K-547K.

547.7K-550K is also ready to be processed. Better hurry because in 2-3 days, 550.7K-555K will also be ready to be processed!

We need Lennart for a week in a row to be able to match our year end goal.

Or....if Gary gets the two additional quads that he mentioned to me he's planning to get, and if you get one of those Core i7's you were talking about over in the rally thread, and we ran those for at least 3 weeks, we'd get an equivalent boost to 60 cores from Lennart for a week. *nudge nudge*

[gd_barnes]

I've been running 8 quads on port 400 for the last week and just left it like that even though I said I'd drop back to 7. I'll plan on continuing with 8 for a while.

With my current resources, I could boost it to 10 quads through the end of the year but I have to admit that strictly running LLRnet gets VERY boring after awhile. I have to have at least 2 machines doing something else or I practically fall asleep doing this stuff. lol

Unfortunately, once again, I'm down 2 machines so only the 8 are running, which means that I'm quite bored at the moment as they are only running LLRnet. I should be back up to 10 for the rally but back down to 8 after that...that is 2 of them on other efforts so my eyes don't glaze over!

Anyway, with two 2-day rallies, if Lennart runs those, that is 4 of the 7 days that you're referring to. After I get my 2 current "down" machines up and running, after an 8-9 day business trip from Nov. 28th-Dec. 5th, I'll look to buy 2 more quads and put them on it through the end of the year.

At this point, assume that from Dec. 10th on, I'll have 10 quads on port 400. That should put us very close. Please know that it no way have we failed if we barely miss the target. If we get to n>590K after taking 7 weeks out for the 4th drive, that is still a tremendous accomplishment for a relatively new project!

Edit: While we're doing this, we can't forget about posting new drives for k=400-600, 600-800, & 800-1001 for n=600K-1M as well as k=1005-2000 for n=50K-500K as we draw near the finish of the 1st drive. Ian (Buster) has offered to continue sieving k=1005-2000. It's currently at P=160G; high enough to run n=50K-100K but since we're not ready to start the drive yet, I'm just suggesting that he sieve the whole thing higher for the time being. Thanks for the sieving help Ian!
