Run mprime to calculate the same work on a single thread?

graysky · 2021-07-25, 10:12

How can I setup prime.txt to run only 1 thread? The customizing Torture Test menu gives me this option, but it doesn't get written out to prime.txt. My goal is to simple run prime -t and have it read in ~/prime.txt which should only run on a single thread.

Here is ~/prime.txt

Code:

V24OptionsConverted=1
WorkPreference=0
V30OptionsConverted=1
StressTester=1
UsePrimenet=0
MinTortureFFT=448
MaxTortureFFT=448
TortureMem=0
TortureTime=3
TortureWeak=0
WGUID_version=2

[PrimeNet]
Debug=0

As I understand from the source code, put

Code:

TortureThreads=1

into your prime.txt

~~I do think this defeats the purpose of the stress test.~~ did not think of that usecase

I found this thread. Seems changes to both prime.txt and local.txt are needed.

@paulunderwood - I am using taskset externally to call mprime -t by the way.
