The synchronization scheme is not particularly robust. There are three possible causes for an exponent to remain on the cleared exponents report. 1) It was a double-check and did not match the original test. 2) It was a bad v17 result. Thus it did not get entered in the master database and was not cleared in the synchronization. 3) The result never made it to the master database. This is pretty rare and I round these up every once in a while and have Scott do some research to get the data added to the master database. You'll note that a few thousand "small" exponents between 5,000,000 and 8,000,000 were just made available. These are mostly exponents that were tested by v17 the first time and need retesting. I've asked Scott to make available some smaller exponents for necessary triple checks too. These occasional synchronizations allow me to run some scripts and find any exponents that have "fallen through the cracks".

Mersenne: Cleared exponents
Hi: There are two databases in GIMPS/Primenet project. The master is the GIMPS one and includes all information about the search, and therefore includes the basic information from Primenet data. There is a lot of data in Primenet and the synchronization is performed every few months. Till today, I though the synchronization scheme was to take the results received before a date, and then clean these exponents in reports like cleared exponents (cleared.txt) and individual account reports (anyway, the credits are taken into account). But I'm wrong :-(. It seems the last synchronization was on Aug-9, and my exponents finished before that day disappeared from my personal account report as I supposed correct. But in the cleared exponents report there are a lot of results sent to Primenet before Aug-9. My results are not in this list, so... Why other results from other accounts remain in it?.
