[Prime] Using fewer threads
I'm running Mersenne Prime Test Program, Version 25.9.8 on dual CPU, quad core box. I'd like to reduce the 8 threads to 6. Is there an easy way to do this? I'd like to let the exponents run to completion. -- Chris Marble - HMC Unix Systems Manager ___ Prime mailing list Prime@hogranch.com http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
Re: [Prime] Using fewer threads
Are you running mprime or Prime95? An easy way is to go into the test menu and reduce the number of worker windows from 8 to 6. You will need to manually edit the worktodo.txt - after exiting Prime95 - and move exponents from workers 7 and 8 to other workers.
