PrimeNet error 7: Invalid parameter

The output (I set up verbosity level to 2 for debug):

Any clues? The machine pings v5 server.

Does your machine really have 6TB have memory? If so, wow!

I'll change the server so that is accepts clients reporting 256TB of memory.

Thanks a lot! It works now!

This single machine has 120 threads and 6TB of RAM memory - that's feasible for e.g. genome assembly algorithms which utilize extensive graph structures. But I guess that would be of no use for mersenne so the number of threads is what really counts.

Wow...can you buy me one 😁

With all those cores and all that RAM, it seems it could do a large number of P-1 threads, each with an outrageous optimally large amount of RAM allocated.
EDIT: What is the actual configuration? 4 x 30-core CPUs? How is the RAM addressed, as in memory controllers and channels?

With that CPU, it will be 4 chips with 15 cores and 4 channels of DDR3-1066 each (limited when fully populated).

Thanks, Mark. That is a heck of a chip to have 4 of. $26,476 list, just for the CPUs. Maxing the RAM must have meant a fair chunk of change, too. I can't even speculate about the mobo.
