LL testing credit not accounted for

ixfd64 · 2007-10-01, 23:23

My results.txt file shows that I've done nine LL tests on this computer, but my account report shows that I've only done eight.

Does anyone know what may be causing this?

Account reports have exponents removed on the 15th of each month when a server synch takes place. All exponents cleared in the previous month are removed then.

This is strange; I found a factor in an exponent (the second with a factor on this computer) after I finished my last Lucas-Lehmer test, and both factors are accounted for. :\

If the exponent wasn't prime, it comes as no
surprise that the corresponding Mersenne number
wasn't either

LOL.

Oh, and another thing: the GIMPS website said that I would "lose credit" for an exponent if it turns out to have an incorrect result, or if someone finds a factor of it.

However, I checked the factors.cmp and bad.txt files, and none of the exponents I've tested have known factors or bad residues.

Have you checked íf all your results are in hrf3 och lucas_v? If not (and if not bad or factored) the result was probably lost and you should email the results.txt to George. (Or use the manual pages--are they working these days?)

I just checked hrf3.txt and lucas_v.txt, and none of the exponents that I've tested appear in those files. I'm not too concerned about losing PrimeNet credit, but I don't want several weeks' worth of number crunching effort to be wasted. Anyways, I've e-mailed George about this.

Thanks for your help, guys.

George just got back to me, and it turns out that the result for M31090393 was missing. :o

PrimeNet still says that I've tested only eight exponents; I'm guessing that the change will be reflected after the next server synchronization.
