Mersenne Digest Thursday, October 26 2000 Volume 01 : Number 787 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 21 Oct 2000 19:49:59 +0200 (CEST) From: Henrik Olsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Mersenne: Exponent already completed? What probably happened is that the exponent was first assigned to another, whose machine didn't check in in 60 days, which meant the exponent got reassigned to you. The original machine then finished the check and send in the result. You don't need to do anything, once your machine finish it'll send in the result and you'll get credited with a doublecheck and the full CPU time.

Funny sideeffect : I could hear the program running because the on board switched power supply made a periodic high piched sound. When I did a time test for a 10M exponent it timed at 0.48, and a 6M at 0.28 A Pentium mmx @225 should be comparable to a pentium mmx @ 233 The gimps benchmark page lists a 10M exponent time for a P1mmx@233 at 0.637, and a 6M at 0.386. Somehow my pentium mmx is much too fast ! When running the same timing using linux mprime, I get a 10M time of 0.92, and a 6M time of 0.56. This is much too slow, and almost exactly a factor 2 slower as when using windows ! So, whats going on ? Anybody an explanation ? Something wrong with my system, or only the timer ?
