Re: Mersenne: M#40 - what went wrong?

2003-06-16 Thread Elias Daher
I'm also adding code to 23.5 to check EVERY iteration for an impossible result such as -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. This test will be very, very quick. But no matter how quick this additional test will be, it will slow down all machines globally, while a false positive report would only "slow down" two ma

Hi all again, I'm back to factoring now, and my cpu temp is never reaching 60°C (over 65 with LL) and the board 50°C (over 60 with LL) which I consider not too high... Doesn't it mean that the factoring code can be optimized? It's not taking advantage of all "parts" of the cpu apparently... Ar

Thanks all, actually I was thinking of opening the case, (but too lazy to do it...) and the weird thing now is that the temperature is stable with Prime95 running with other applications, and it's not reaching the level it was reaching two days ago and I'm still testing the same number... It's

Hi I had let my computer work on factoring for a while, and I switched back to LL testing two days ago, and last night my computer was beeping all the time because the cpu and the board were overheating... There should be no problem with my hardware, I got good fans that I bought 3 months ago, a

fits or at least a real benefit! By the way, if you read the "about prime95" dialog box, it's mentionned that it's a "just for fun software"!!! One last word, Prime 95 could be cooler and more fun if there were logs for every iteration! Like all the calculations and
