I am still using build 6.

A few times since I installed 30.4 the process got killed, but very infrequent. Restarting mprime than solves the problem.

I now have reached a point where mprime gets killed every time it is restarted.

I have left terminal open so I could run some tests if desired.

Should I just install build 9 or run some kind of test to see what causes this crashing?

I'm not sure how much memory you have installed in that machine, but it looks to me like you should try lowering the amount of memory that P-1 testing is allowed to use.

OTOH, post #97 indicates the problem you are seeing might be fixed in build 9, so if I were you I would just go ahead update and worry about it only if it isn't fixed.

[QUOTE=kriesel;571154](Re an F20 issue:)Does the prime95 v30.4 b9/b8 differential only affect Fermats? What if anything in the b9 update relates to Mersennes?.[/QUOTE]

It affects Fermats and Mersennes, P-1 and ECM.

Try build 9. If that fails, send me the save file, worktodo.txt, prime.txt, and local.txt.

[QUOTE=Prime95;571179]
Try build 9. [/QUOTE]

Worked!

In mprime -m if the menu is displayed and an option is chosen the menu will again be displayed first which does not add any value and only clutters things. Can the redisplay of the menu be removed?

Maybe an error?
 

I accidentally duplicated the same P-1 test line in my worktodo.txt file twice. It ran the first test and found a factor! But then it ran the second test (starting in the second stage) and failed to find a factor. Ran using mprime v30.4b8. My expectation is that it should find the same factor again, right? Thank you!!!

Maybe not. I believe when the first P-1 finished it created a save file indicating that P-1 had been run to B1=1.2M, B2=67.2M. When the second P-1 line was processed prime95 took B2 from 67.2M to 120M and thus did not find a factor.

Doing that with gpuOwl will drop the second line (so, do no test, found no factor, save the time). That's because if a factor is found, the tool checks the rest of the worktodo and discards other tests for the same exponent which are scheduled further, to avoid doing the long PRP (if both P-1 and PRP scheduled) for an exponent which already has a factor. Doesn't P95 behave the same?

Prime95 does not do that.

Interesting, thank you!

Build 30.5 build 1 is available. It fixes the PRP problem described here: [url]https://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?p=573197#post573197[/url]
