Team drive #8 k=1400-2000 n=350K-500K
 
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]This is team drive #8 for No Prime Left Behind. We will be searching all k=1400-2000 for n=350K-500K.[/FONT][/COLOR]

Karsten (kar_bon) has created a web page that shows details for the drive [URL="http://www.rieselprime.de/NPLB/Drives/NPLB_Drive8.htm"]here[/URL]. He maintaines a site that has almost all known Riesel primes. There is a page for the range of 300<k<2000 [URL="http://www.rieselprime.org/Data/00300.htm"][COLOR=#800080]here[/COLOR][/URL]. The ranges searched and primes found from this project will be shown there.

An excellent LLRnet server will be processing a large part of the range. For general info. on setting up and running the server see [URL="http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=9959"][COLOR=#22229c]this thread[/COLOR][/URL]. The info. specific to the server that needs to be entered into your llr-clientconfig.txt file is:

server = "nplb.ironbits.net"
port = 8000

We have divided the manual files up into n=500 pieces. [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]There should be an average of around 5700 candidates in each file and should take about 1-2 CPU weeks to test for the current level of n-ranges. Feel free to take as many files as you can complete in around 3-4 weeks.[/FONT][/COLOR]

Please report all reservations/statuses/completions for this drive in this thread. Please report all primes found in the 'Report all k=1003-2000 primes here' thread. Please post all results files in this thread or send them to me at: gbarnes017 at gmail dot com.

Please report all top-5000 primes with a project ID of 'PrimeSearch'.

**k=1005-1400 searched for one n-range before receiving results from Peter Benson.

There should be a ton of top-5000 primes in this area so let's roll! :smile:

[quote=gd_barnes;155790]With the primes just pouring in at top-5000 as a result of PrimeGrid running an effort on the Proth side similar to what we are currently for k<1200 and at lower n-ranges, it looks like n=350K will be at n=350K by Jan. 5th or earlier.

Since people reserved and divided up their ranges on their cores assuming a Jan. 15th completion date, we'll stick with our plans here but I'll put another quad on it starting later today or on Weds that will boost the reserved ranges to P=~7T. On Jan. 5th, my 1st 2 quads will finish and I'll be able to do another P=1.6T range by Jan. 15th. That would put it at P=8.6T so we'd likely just need a few more smaller reservations to get us where we need to be.

The drive will still be n=350K-500K but the first few primes may be non-top-5000. I'm now estimating that the 5000th prime will be at n=351K by the time we start.

As if we hadn't done so already, PrimeGrid has demonstrated conclusively that our method of searching for primes is the wave of the future! :smile:

I think having an efficient sieve is more important than missing out on a few reportable primes. :smile:

(I'm more worried about my dozens of top-5000 primes that will be pushed out soon.:cry:)


[B]edit:[/B]

But why not start a drive for 350-352k now, and get them registered?

My reservation will finish late 01/01/09 GMT. (Looks like >20,000 factors.)

Well, that's a no-brainer. Why didn't I think of that? Duh. :smile:

Ian, how far from completion are you on the P=1.4T-1.8T range? If you're < 3 days from completion, we'll wait on it. If we're gonna be undersieved for part of it, we may as well minimize how much we are undersieved by. lol

Max and others, what do you think about getting the drive started on late Tues. or Weds. or Thurs. for n=350K-352K with sieving only at P=1.4T or 1.8T?

I don't want to make a big mess out of this by stopping everyone in the middle of sieving to start on LLRing and then having the sieving get put off for a long time so that we're stressing on sieving again. We could get in a nasty circle. We'll have to discuss resource allocation later today to avoid that scenario. I need to go now but I'll need to get an approximate estimated time to complete n=350K-352K so that we can have an informed discussion about it.

No worries Chris, you'll get your primes back plus plenty more with this drive. Even though we'll be knocking our own primes off the list quite a bit, there will be many more to replace them than are knocked off.

Okay, I like that idea! :grin:

BTW @Carlos: Thanks for the offer of running a server, though that probably won't be necessary since we already have had a G8000 server all pre-readied for this effort. However, yes, we'll definitely keep you in mind in case we need any more. :smile: (For these smaller k/n pairs, server load is somewhat higher than it is at the higher k/n pairs, so we may very well need a second server for this range.)

Hey, I just thought of an idea: how about, in addition to any LLRnet servers that we have going for this range, I run a PRPnet server for it? I'm beginning to get the hang of how this whole PRPnet thing works now, and I'm planning to write some scripts later today to ensure that PRPnet will fit into our existing stats and status-page setup. Setting up a second server for the 9th Drive would not be hard at all. Not to mention that PRPnet uses LLR 3.7.1c for numbers on power-of-2 bases. :big grin:

OK, let's just run n=350K-352K sieved to P=1.4T. It'd be too messy and risky to wait for higher factors from Ian and myself. I could actually complete my P=1.8T-3.4T range in 2 days if I put it on all 9 of my working quads but that would take me quite a bit of time to do because I'd have to piecemeal out the P-ranges that haven't been done yet. I also don't want to impose upon Ian to do the same with his range. It's just time-consuming to bring all the factors back together from so many cores. By just using the P=1.4T file, after everyone is done with their sieving, we'll just systematically apply all the factors P>1.4T to the entire file in an orderly fashion. I need order for my disorderly mind. lol

Running it to n=352K should work and take the pressure off of the sieving effort a little. It'll be a while before the 5000th prime is at 352K. (>4-5 weeks I think)

Max, let's hold off on the PRPnet server since we need to complete the range within a fairly short timeframe. It will take a little time for people to download everything and orient themselves to the new server software. Although that shouldn't take each person too long, I don't want to be derailed by any potential issues that there could be in the new software. Instead, let's plan on using PRPnet for n>352K after the sieving is done. As for running a server for this range, let's just use port 8000 that you've already set up. That was its intent.

I'm not going to recommend any kind of resource allocation to anyone. Everyone knows the situation on the 5000th place prime. Likely I'll put 2 quads in on the LLRing effort but may put as many as 5-6 on it depending on how popular the effort is and how quickly the 5000th place prime is moving up. In other words, I'll wait to see what the response is before shifting anything more than 2 quads. This is a good effort for people with lesser resources and I don't want the higher-resource folks to take most of the fun. :smile:

Max, have I sent you the n=200K-500K file for k=1005-2000 sieved to P=1.4T? If not, I'll send it to you right away. Just let me know. Let's plan on loading n=350K-351K in the server to get that cracking almost immediately at fairly high speed. We'll leave n=351K-352K for manual reservations in n=100 pieces.

Keep in mind that n=100 ranges will actually be ~70%+ larger than n=100 ranges on the 1st drive at the same n-range. That is about ~67% more k's plus likely 3-5% more candidates due to a sieve to P=1.4T vs. 5T.

I'll get the drive set up with manual-reservation files posted for n=351K-352K sometime in the morning between 6 and 8 AM GMT (midnight to 2 AM my time). Please plan on completing any manual reservation in < 2 weeks to make sure we stay ahead of the 5000th place prime. If an n=100 file is too big for you, you'll be able to reserve part of a file if you want. So that people have an idea of the size of the files, I'll post a # of candidates by each file.

One more thing Max...Please look on Karsten's pages and see who has reservations in the area. We already know about Thomas and I think Adam has a reservation or two in the area. I will PM them about the start of our effort. I doubt we'll impact anyone with n=350K-352K but don't want to give a bad perception if we are.

Let's move the goal for completing sieving back to Jan. 20th. I should still complete mine by Jan. 15th-16th because I'll pull quads off of port 5000 to put on LLRing n=350K-352K. The 5000th place prime shouldn't be near n=352K by the 20th but we don't want to push our luck in that regard. PrimeGrid has really been submitting the primes lately.

Thanks for being flexible everyone! :smile:

Edit: Would it make more sense to use a server by Carlos since he has offered? I'm going to Vegas from Thursday to Wednesday. If we do that, we'd just use his server for this range and plan on using port 8000 for most of the LLRnet ranges for n>352K.

Okay, that sounds good, especially in light of how there have been a few new issues that have cropped up with PRPnet as described in the PRPnet thread over at CRUS. Thus, I'm thinking that we shouldn't even consider setting up a second server until we've gotten things running somewhat more smoothly. :smile:

Hmm...well, we've already got G8000 set up, so that would probably be quicker to get started with. Not to mention that since it has a status page and automatic copy-off for its results files, so it will be easier to manage and quicker to process results.

Hi all,

As David just recently posted in the LLRnet servers thread, he's started up a new server on nplb.ironbits.net port 8000 (IB8000) loaded with n=350K-351K for k=1005-2000. Everyone can go ahead and shift their machines over there as soon as they're ready. :smile:

I'll set up an official drive page here within about 2 hours. I'm going to hold off on moving CPU's over...may move 1 quad a little later tonight. Ian and Chris already have the n=350K-351K range at ~10% complete in just 4 hours putting the ETA on the server range at only 40 hours if no more resources were added.

Based on this, what do people think about running the entire n=350K-352K range on port 8000? It would save us admins a little time. :smile: At the above rate, we would complete n=350K-352K in 80 hours or < 3.5 days. If I add a quad, then less than that.

Max, if there are no objections, feel free to load up n=351K-352K in the server also.

David, I haven't read many of the posts yet from the last several hours. If you haven't done it already, due to the high-priority of the effort, please make the JobMaxTime 1 day. After we dry this, then future ranges for port 8000 (if we decide to use it) can go back to the usual 3 days.

Thanks everyone for pitching in! :smile:

gd_barnes 2009-01-01 03:41

With Carlos now on there, we're already 13% complete with n=350K-351K.

Here is what I'd like to do: I won't post any manual files in the new drive page. If anyone wants a manual range within the range of n=351K-352K, please tell us within 4 hours of this post or by 7:30 AM GMT on Jan. 1st.

With the speed of the server, there is now one stringent requirement: All manual reservations must be completed within 3 days. Please plan accordingly.

We're going to shoot for < 4 days for n=350K-352K so everyone can get back to their sieving and running the other drives.

If there are no takers, I'll send n=351K-352K to David's port 8000 and we'll run the whole n=350K-352K range on the server.

One more thing: An n=350K prime will now come in 4980th place on top-5000 so we started this none too soon! :smile: An n=352K prime will come in at 4859th place so the pressure is off after this small effort is done.

Well, I was originally planning to shift my quad over to IB8000 sometime today, but at the rate we're going, it looks like it won't be necessary after all! :smile: Given that, I'll keep it on C6000 where it's been for the past few days (my plan being to stick with that server until it reaches n=1M on k=341).

Maybe I'll toss one core of my dualcore on the server so that I can still rake in one or two of those top-5000 primes that I had been hoping to nab easily with my quad. :smile:

As for sending n=351K-352K to IB8000: okay, that sounds like a good plan. :smile:

That hasn't started yet. When Ian is finished sieving P=1400G-1800G in the sieving effort, we'll start that drive. I think he said his ETA was Jan. 5th on that.

We started this drive early only for the small range of n=350K-352K with undersieved files to put any prime for n>350K on the top-5000 site. When the current range is complete, this drive will be suspended until the sieving effort is done; likely ~Jan. 20th.

Hmm...well, at this point in the sieving, there *isn't* any more 8th Drive work available after n=352K... :ermm:

Gary, how do you think we should proceed on this? I was thinking that we might want to load some work starting at n=200K for k=1005-2000; at n=200K it should be big enough so that LLRnet won't choke on it, and the sieving should definitely be far enough along for that n-range. That way we could get a little head-start on the non-top-5000 portion of this k-range. :smile:

For the most part, yes. I'm not sure how much load a PRPnet server can take (never tested it)--maybe we could give it a try with the n=50K candidates for k=1005-2000? It might handle those a lot better than LLRnet because it automatically deals in batches of results, rather than one at a time.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
/throws self on floor kicking and thrashing about

Is port 8000 doomed to be shutdown again? :cry:

gd_barnes 2009-01-02 22:56

NO NO GUYS GUYS!! Please don't do anything with n=200K-350K yet. I'm off here for only 9 hours and we're going in multiple directions here and way jumping the gun! lol

We want port 8000 to dry and get back to sieving and the 5th-6th-7th drives. The intent all along was for port 8000 to be loaded up with n=350K-352K and then be dried. AFTER the sieving drive is done by ~Jan. 20th, we can decide how port 8000 should be used. Don't worry David, I'm sure we'll use it for some effort on the k=1005-2000 drives. It'll just be about 2-3 weeks yet.

Max, it'll be very messy very quickly having too many different sieve depths for the different n-ranges when matching sieve files to results. Let's keep it organized. Here's how you will have to match up the results as per the different sieve depths in the future:
n=50K-200K sieved to P=1.8T
n=200K-350K sieved to P=~9T or whatever optimal turns out to be for the n=200K-500K range (we won't bother splitting that range off from n=350K-500K since we're sieving so quickly)
n=350K-352K sieved to P=1.4T
n=352K-500K sieved to P=~9T

That's enough different sieve depths already.

Carlos, do you have some Free-DC folks that would help substantially with a large non-top-5000 range such as n=200K-300K? The question is, how can a non-top-5000 effort be done the most quickly. Even at a low n-range, that's a huge amount of work for ~500 k's and n=100K. I'd love to have you and your friends knock it out if you think you'll have the resources to do it. You could do that at the same time that we have the team drive set up to do n=50K-200K. Like that range, it'd be best if searched by k-value.

As soon as I get the factors from Ian for P=1400G-1800G for k=1005-2000 and n=50K-500K, I'll get the 9th drive set up for that k-range and n=50K-350K. Then we can decide how we want to parse it out. Max, keep in mind that even though this is non-top-5000 work, much of it will be first-time work. We must know that the PRPnet server is working properly.

I am pulling the reference out to n=200K-210K in the first post here. It doesn't belong here.

I will pull my quad off of port 8000 now and move it over to port 400. (I haven't checked other threads; for all I know port 8000 is dry now.) Port 5000 has moved ahead of port 400 so I'm going to start splitting my cores between the two.

[quote=gd_barnes;156525]GUYS GUYS!! Please don't do anything with n=200K-350K yet. I'm off here for only 9 hours and we're going in multiple directions here and way jumping the gun! lol

We want port 8000 to dry and get back to sieving and the 5th-6th-7th drives. The intent all along was for port 8000 to be loaded up with n=350K-352K and then be dried. AFTER the sieving drive is done by ~Jan. 20th, we can decide how port 8000 should be used. Don't worry David, I'm sure we'll use it for some effort on the k=1005-2000 drives. It'll just be about 2-3 weeks yet.

Max, it'll be very messy very quickly having too many different sieve depths for the different n-ranges when matching sieve files to results. Let's keep it organized. Here's how you will have to match up the results as per the different sieve depths in the future:
n=50K-200K sieved to P=1.8T
n=200K-350K sieved to P=~9T or whatever optimal turns out to be for the n=200K-500K range (we won't bother splitting that range off from n=350K-500K since we're sieving so quickly)
n=350K-352K sieved to P=1.4T
n=352K-500K sieved to P=~9T

That's enough different sieve depths already.

Hmm...I see what you mean. I hadn't considered having to mess with matching up the results with all those different sieve depths. :rolleyes:

Should I ask David to remove the n=200K-210K range from the server, or should we just continue on this range until it's done and load no more after that?

Dang it guys. You knew the intent of this drive was to only do n=350K-352K. Why was n=200K-210K loaded into the server? Please don't jump the gun in the future. Imagine this: How is Karsten supposed to show this on his pages now for 300+ k's:

k=xxxx; n=50; n=200K-210K; n=350K-352K

All that I ask is that we think ahead a little before impulsively starting on things.

It's all a big mess as far as I'm concerned. Max, you'll have to deal with it. My thinking:

1. Stop the server.
2. Remove all n=200K-220K so that it is dry except for any straggling pairs for n=350K-352K.
3. Remove all results related to n=200K-220K.
4. Redo those k/n pairs in the future so that they are done in a proper sequence and there isn't a big hole in the future range.

Please please when doing things, try to keep as few of gaps as possible in the ranges. We're talking 100's of k's here and we can't be searching multiple n-ranges right in the middle of them with undersieved files.

I'll be able to check the threads here again in about 30 mins. but then will be off for 12 hours.

Okay, I see what you're saying. David, please remove all remaining k/n pairs from the 200K-210K range from the IB8000 server, as Gary said; as for the results files, it should be OK to leave those as they are because I should be able to easily sort out the few extra results when processing them later.

em99010pepe 2009-01-03 02:04

Grow up Gary. Let that range be on the server.

gd_barnes 2009-01-03 14:25

No worries. It'll be there soon enough. Keep in mind that we are removing candidates by sieving much faster than we can LLR them at this point, especially the P=1400G-1800G factors, which have not been removed from the file yet.

Ian can correct me if I'm wrong but I think he said at a previous time that he'll be done with the above sieving range in ~2 days. Then we'll be able to start n=50K-200K. By mid Jan., we'll then have a good n=350K-500K range that we can work on.

n=350K-352K was only a small 'emergency' range to work on to avoid missing any top-5000 primes. To start LLRing additional ranges would be a waste of CPU resources.


Gary

gd_barnes 2009-01-03 15:28

I just wanted to apologize to everyone for the confusion regarding the range in the server for this drive.

This preliminary very undersieved n=2K range was an extremely unusual situation that only came about as a result of the rapidly rising 5000th place prime.

It is my hope that not too much inconvience nor lost CPU time was had by all involved.

If there is one thing that we found out by accident here, it is certainly how robust David's servers are, and in more than one way:

1. It can handle 100's of cached results dumped all at once on it (as long as it is not from a Proxy server).

2. It can handle the fast testing times of a lower n-range.

Had we not tried the n=200K-210K range for a while, we would not have known #2 so some good has come out of it.

This makes me wonder if his servers couldn't handle candidates as low as n=50K with testing times as low as a few secs. We'll be setting up the 9th drive for n=50K-350K in a couple of days. If David or others think that may be worth a try, perhaps we can set up some sort of testing for that; perhaps with one low-weight k to start with. We'd probably set up a completely different server for it. I'm thinking we'll use port 8000 for n=352K-500K after sieving is complete in < 3 weeks, although that can be discussed.

Maybe have a rule e.g. MaxCoresPerPerson = n/10,000?

For me, I'd rather run on servers than do manual ranges.

Very good idea on the rule. We probably need to add some sort of caching rule too. Although his servers could handle 100's of pairs dumped at once at n=350K, doing so while at n=50K while handing out pairs to everyone every few secs. (vs. 110-150 secs.) might be a different story.

For the most part, I also prefer servers but am a bit annoyed by the 5-10% testing time loss of LLRnet. Alas, that will hopefully go away with the new PRPnet software that is currently being tested at CRUS. Very exciting stuff!

As soon as we get the word from David that this file has been loaded, the 8th drive will have officially restarted.

This should be an exciting drive with many top-5000 primes coming more quickly than the 5th/6th/7th drives. Don't worry about the already-known primes. A large percentage of this range is unsearched.

Some manual files have been posted in n=500 blocks.

I'll post known primes after the top-5000 site comes back up.

gd_barnes 2009-01-27 09:41

As of 11 PM AZ time on Jan. 26th (6 AM GMT Jan. 27th), here is an updated count of all primes found in the 8th drive. It includes 2 primes not yet posted since they have not been submitted at top-5000 yet:

[code]
k primes
1400-1500 32
1500-1600 33
1600-1700 34

Total 99

k primes
1700-1800 18
1800-1900 24
1900-2000 18

Total 60
[/code]


Now, if you assume that the 23-3 start was just some random abberation and that it should be random from that point forward, subtracting that off still gives 76-57 in favor of k=1400-1700.

With the former k-range continuing to dominate, clearly k=1400-1700 must have a higher avg. weight than k=1700-2000. If anyone has time to look up and compute the avg. from [URL="http://www.rieselprime.org"]www.rieselprime.org[/URL], I'd be very curious to see it.

If it's not the weight, than something else is going on. If we are getting a higher percentage of primes from almost the same # of candidates in a sieve file for 2 distinct ranges, than we may have what we've been hoping for if this continues to run at such an alarming advantage for the smaller k-range...that is proof that these things may not be as random as we think they are! :smile:

Looking for this type of deviation from the norm is part of the reason the project was started...to have enough searched ranges without holes in them to prove a non-random deviation.

A little wishful thinking just yet but certainly worth further investigation.

Gary[/quote]
The average weight of k=1400-1700 is 1805.600. For k=1700-2000 it is 1746.167. That's a difference of 59.433. I'm not terribly familiar with what weights mean what, but that seems like an insignificant difference to me. (For reference, my two k's I've reserved in the individual k drive are weighted 1463 and 1416, a difference of 47. Over 600K-1M, the difference in the number of candidates is only 137.) I think something else is going on, whether random or not.
Edit: By the way, k=1400-1700 has 3885 primes listed on that page, k=1700-2000 has 3789 primes. This correlates closely to the weights, not the recent bunching.

gd_barnes 2009-01-28 15:49

I have now processed the results for this drive up to n=360K. I have compared primes found vs. the 1st post in this thread, the k=300-2000 page, and Karsten's 8th drive page. Everything looks good.

Karsten, the only inconsistency that I found was that you don't have k=1647 highlighted in blue on the k=300-2000 page. It appears that you are showing all k's where NPLB has found a new prime in blue. We found 1647*2^351262-1 prime.

Max or Ian, whenever you can, please process the results for n=360K-400K for this drive to me. The lowest k/n pair in the server is now n>400K.

I changed the word "confirmed" to "new". Confirmed would mean that they were already in the top-5000 database.

Max, you had also shown Brian's 2 primes as confirmed for his manual range in the 1st post of this drive. I also corrected that.

Brian, if you'd like to reserve a single larger manual file, just let us know. We can accomodate any size n-range that can be completed within a reasonable amount of time after the server reaches that point.

Okay, sure. Though, originally I was planning to wait until 450K to do it--I generally try to wait until I can do an entire contiguous chunk before I process results, unless that chunk is just waaaay to big to do that with. And considering as how there are only two <450K k/n pairs remaining in the server, that shouldn't be too long to wait. :smile:

LLRnet IB8000 has completed 400K-450K; lresults emailed to Gary. :smile:

Karsten, even though I had to manually fill in two results from this range as described in the post above this one, since I submitted them to the server after finishing them, they should be in the 2/16 results file as normally. Thus, everything should be all in place with no further fixes/fill-ins necessary. :smile:

[quote=mdettweiler;162468]Okay, sure. Though, originally I was planning to wait until 450K to do it--I generally try to wait until I can do an entire contiguous chunk before I process results, unless that chunk is just waaaay to big to do that with. And considering as how there are only two <450K k/n pairs remaining in the server, that shouldn't be too long to wait. :smile:[/quote]

Max,

I'm confused. First, you said there are 2 pairs remaining to be processed. I wait 4 calendar days and state that we passed n=450K because I know that the JobMaxtime is 3 days so that those 2 pairs must have been processed. You then state that there are 2 pairs remaining to be processed again. What gives? Did someone cache those and never process them a second time? That seems unlikely. Were they 2 different k/n pairs then the first time?

Can you research why the results didn't show up in Feb. 16th like Karsten said? Did you submit them after midnight server time such that they will show up in Feb. 17th?

One other thing: Let's not wait until huge contiguous k-ranges like this are complete. Let's do n=20K ranges in the future like we did for the 1st/2nd/3rd drives. Actually, straggling pairs for n>440K is why I requested n=400K-440K to begin with. n=440K-450K could have waited a week or even more if we just did the lower n-range first. Then you wouldn't have had to go through all that hassle on those 2 pairs.

One final thing: I had a reason that I had separated the port 8000 n-ranges into n=20K ranges in the 1st post of this thread. Oh well, I'm not going to do it again. I'll just deal with it.

Reserving n=465K-475K for port 8000.

kar_bon 2009-02-17 12:27

why got we automated LLR-test?

because all will done automatically!

if the server will wait 3 days before delivering not submitted pairs again, so wait these 3 days!

no need to do them manually!!!!

(please read the thread "NPLB Database" too)

I must admit I'm confused by this whole situation too Karsten.

I asked for the results for n=400K-440K because I knew that there were still straggling pairs for n=440K-450K. Max then suggested that we wait for n=400K-450K because only 2 pairs were left so I wait patiently. 4 days later with no word, I requested n=400K-450K since it should be done by then. Max then says there are still 2 pairs left and that they had to be done manually to complete the n-range. This was not my intent at all.

Max, if I may request: Please process the results to me in n=20K ranges after all pairs have been processed automatically. There's no reason to manually process them.

Also, did the 2 pairs that you processed to the server show up in our results on the server yet?

Ooh...my bad again with this latest batch of results. Here's what it looks like has happened: I essentially popped the two straggling k/n pairs into the workfile.txt of an LLRnet client running on IB8000. Then, I let it run until those two stragglers were done. It finished them and submitted them to the server, and I presumed that it put them into that day's results file as it normally would. Yet, when I downloaded all the results to process them later that day, I forgot to download the "copy of current results.txt" file as well--and that's where the results would be (actually, as it turns out, that's where I *thought* they would be)--but, by the time I noticed all this, I was already almost done with processing everything. So, I figured...it's only two results, and I already have the results sitting around from the client that submitted the results earlier. So, I just took the results from the client's lresults.txt file and inserted them into the big results file from there--assuming that the server had accepted them correctly and inserted them into the 2/16 results file.

However, of course, we have now seen that they did not indeed go into the 2/16 results file. They're probably in the 2/17 results file--but, I guess the moral of the story is: never assume that a results is on the server unless you've actually downloaded it back from the server. :smile:

Gary, despite all this, the results that I sent you should still be complete and correct; I verified them in full against the original sieve file. All the results should be on the server, too, but possibly in different places than I had assumed. Feel free to verify them with the original sieve file to make sure, of course.

Regarding splitting up the ranges in n=20K pieces in the range table: ah, I should have realized there was a method to the madness. :rolleyes: Okay, then--in the future, I'll be sure to ask before making any changes like that. Should have done that in the first place. :smile:

Max :smile:

P.S.: Just to make sure that everything is indeed as I've projected in this post, later today I'll check all the recent results files to make sure those two results did indeed make it to the server. And yes, I'll write myself a note so I don't forget. :wink:

kar_bon 2009-02-19 19:51

the 2 missing pairs are still missing!

the last pairs with n=448k in results_20090211_0000_IB_nplb_8000.txt.

so, please, put those 2 pairs in the I8000 server and let them processed there!

Hmm...you're right. They do indeed seem to be missing. :unsure:

Given this: David, can you please stop the port 8000 server, insert these two lines immediately after the header line, and restart the server?

Reserving n=475K-490K for port IB8000.

gd_barnes 2009-02-20 14:22

All results for n=400K-460K for this drive have now been processed. All primes were checked against the 1st post in this drive, the top-5000 site, the k=300-2000 page, and the 8th drive page. No missing or incorrect primes were found.

Excellent work everyone. This was a huge range with a lot of primes (127) to have no problems on!

Karsten, the only nitpick that I saw on your 8th drive page is that 1551*2^439313-1 is out of order from left to right on that line. You've usually been listing them from lowest to highest n-value from left to right so I just thought I'd point it out.

Will this server be loaded again soon, or are you waiting for the sieve to complete?
