oh boy, maybe I can climb back up the ranks a bit having long since slipped off the first 100... I just brought online a pair of identical Intel servers, each a 2GB dual p4/xeon 2.8Ghz linux 2.4.18 system... running latest non-beta mprime from the downloads page ...
I have disabled hyperthreading on these two servers, so they each look like 2 CPUs rather than 4. Looks like each CPU thinks it can complete a 18,600,000 sized assignment in 10 days. one minor mprime question... the readme implied that if I specified `mprime -b2` it would spawn two copies, but it only seemed to spawn one... I had to run `mprime -b` and `mprime -b2` to get both CPUs 100% busy (after manually setting up primenet by using `mprime -m` and `mprime -m -a1` ... another minor question... Is there any way to force CPU affinity, or does mprime do that automatically? -jrp _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
