RE: Mersenne: V20 beta

 1)  The program now does some P-1 factoring prior to running first time
  and double-checking Lucas-Lehmer tests.  This will increase overall
  GIMPS throughput.  If you install version 20 in the middle

Does this mean that the exponent's that we've already done factoring on will
be repopened for P1 tests when Prime95 v20 is released?

I was getting that error this morning during a routine new-dates send with v 
19.2.  I think PrimeNet must have had a momentary service interruption.

Which brings me to a question for everyone: How much work should I have 
cached in case of such interruptions?  Currently I'm set through May 9.

Mersenne: Quit after current work finishes?

2000-03-17 Thread Russel Brooks

How do I quit a pc from GIMPS after the current piece of work finishes
(without getting any more work).

I tried setting Test-PrimeNet-"Always have this many days of work
queued up:" to Zero, but One is as low as it allows.

cheers... Russ

Mersenne: M 10133741

2000-03-17 Thread Nathan Russell

In a scan of the PrimeNet status page 
(http://www.entropia.com/primenet/status.txt)
I noticed that this exponent was due to expire sometime around last 
Halloween.

Is there a bug in the server?  Is the owner a QA person who is being given 
some leniency?  If so, why is the server being used?

Nathan
