Mersenne: Possible mhoney team?

1999-05-13 Thread Marc Getty
Go Marc! This would be quite interesting to see, something on the tune of team love fest I guess. Don't worry about beating TempleU-CAS guys, it's not that hard! While I may have 335 P90 CPU years racked up, I doubt that it will get much higher then that. In fact, for the past two weeks SW has ac

Mersenne: I am curious

1999-05-13 Thread Marc Honey
Hi everyone... I am mhoney on the prime list and am curious about something. How many of you with 10 or more machines personally would be interested in joning me if I were to form a team? I ask because I am interested in finding about 6 people with 10 or more machines that would like to join me i

Hello, generally a lurker but... I have to agree with the comments below especially re the Bellcos - except in my case it's another well known UK telco provider. I gave my project proposal to set up on our machines to my boss weeks ago and it has vanished into a black hole. They didn't even have

Mersenne: Getting maximum speed out of a Linux machine

1999-05-13 Thread Steinar H. Gunderson
Hello, I've compiled mprime on my own (after doing some minor changes to make it compile under glibc2), and I've noticed something strange. If I run the program with -m, and use `Test/Continue', I get an iteration time of 0.201 secs (n=7398xxx, P2/400 overclocked to 448MHz (bus=112MHz, multiplier

Maybe there something wrong with the PrimeNet server? Earlier today I had some of my machines check in and it seemed a little wacky. Also, entropia.com seems to be pretty flacky especially the status pages. When I loaded my individual account report it went completely nuts and told me I had 100

Perhaps Scott could contact this fellow and see whats up? I know when I had a bunch of machines checking out numbers, Scott emailed me to be sure it wasn't just a bug or something. At any rate, it looks like all the LL exponents have been chewed up. Moreover, judging by the estimated time to com
