I just downloaded Prime95 v20.4.1 and I have two questions:
1) Where can I find some mathematical info on P-1 factoring
(preferably everything, "for dummies")?
2) When I use Prime95's Vacation or Holiday feature, does the program
assume that the vacation time should be treated as nighttime for the
purpose of P-1 factoring?
I'd suggest additional option in the Vacation feature - a checkbox
allowing Prime95 treat that free time as nighttime. My reasoning: I
can see two possible ways - the abandoned computer is used by some
other person (not connected to GIMPS) or the computer is unused.
There have to be an option to let that other person use the computer
as normal (thus treating the vacation time normally), but it would be
a loss if the computer was totally unused and couldn't work with all
of the nighttime memory.
BTW: George, I think many people (myself included) surf the web using
800x600 resolution - new Mersenne page's menu is a little to wide for
that setting. Not a big issue, but a little annoying.
Cheers,
-- Shot
