....second place. Monday we will be there.:thumbs:

I was just wondering how I was supposed to mark the ranges as done and get new ones for the Mercenaries. Should I just communicate through a thread with you?

You can reserve the ranges under your name but give the credit to Mercenaries or I'll reserve the ranges for you. Communication by PM.

EDIT: The best way is to dump the factors under Free-DC Mercenaries username. That's what I am doing!

[jasong]

jokern, are you still planning on dedicating a core to my account? I'm running an SOB k/n pair under Test atm, in case you weren't aware of that. :)

[jokern3000]

Jasong, I will be putting plenty on your name as soon as I complete the ones I picked up under the mercenaries. Plenty over the 250kps you were looking for in the original thread. First machine will be done in two and a half days, then two more the day after that. I hope your doing LLR under your name at riesel for the moment. I will make sure the team gets a good jump in the stats before I ask you to switch. Here is to hoping you find a prime and shrink the dat.

jokern3000,

Which ranges are you sieving?
154425-154525
154525-154625
154625-154725
154725-154825

Please dump your factors. Thanks.

Free-DC is almost in third place, just a matter of hours.

I was doing all of them. I have two days and six hours for the one thata is closest to completeing to finish and 4 days 19 hour for the longest. Should I turn in the factors even if the range isn't complete?

Thanks for doing all of them.
Answering your question, yes you can. Do you know how to submit the factors? If not go here:
http://www.rieselsieve.com/sieve/
and send them using Free-DC Mercenaries username.

Almost in third place. I think by next update we will be there.

Carlos, I made a mistake. I am using Rieselator to manage the test. I couple of days ago I clicked on the submit button, thinking it would open up the web page to submit. I didn't realise it would do it automaticly. I have left everything running, and have since found more factors. The problem with that is I can't even tell apart the old and new ones. I was thinking I should just wait until the entire range is complete and then get in contact with B2 or bryan(those are the guys in charge over there right?) Do you think they would let me submit manually and still get points for the team? If not, maybe we could register "your username" since that is what it must of submitted under. I'm really sorry about this. If I can't straighten this out, I'll do some more sieveing for mercenaries. After that I will be sieving for jasong, but that will still help the team. Please let me know what you think.

[jokern3000]

Nevermind about the messed up tests. I posted on the riesel forum and bryan took care of it. I just submitted factors, 236 I think, but no one range is complete.

[em99010pepe]

jokern3000,

Nice dump! Now only 4M separate us from 2nd place...soon another dump will come.:thumbs:

Carlos

[Petey]

And it certainly did.

4.1m from Laurent :D.

Free-DC are #2 :cheers:

[tnerual]

more exactly it's 6,338,235 points (267 factors showing, 136 not showing:confused: )

there is actually a difference between rieselstats and Bokstats.
i PMed bryan about that (waiting for answer).

I will continue to flush but at a lower rate: this was a "end of holliday" flush.

and i'm still waiting for 6 processor (p3-1ghz)(60 kps each).:banana:

I will soon count my total power in Mps :|party|:

have nice day and don't forget : we need 700 million more ...:scared:

We did it! Knocked off LoneOutsiders right on schedule and thanks to that last dump, knocked off AMDUsers.

700 Meg more isn't "unthinkable" anymore. We can do it.:rock:

[em99010pepe]

Just a quick note, all my machines are off due to bad weather.

Online again, I hope so...

I did the math and I think we'll need 35-40,000 factors to get 700 million points.

Does anyone know the factor density at the moment?

Edit: About 1.26 per billion.

Btw, I'm coming on board with my Pentium-D's, about 150kp/s

[Chuck]

Factor density per 100G is averaging .8/G for me.

I have had 1.4/G in a 100G block down to as low as 3 (singular) in a 100G (.03/G)

If desired a I (or anyone) can put together a little routine to read fact.txt, divide it out and do the math.

Since we want to calcuate a good strategy, may I suggest we start archiving our fact.txt files upon completion of ranges (or when housekeeping) so we can get good data? Of course, the best data (and probably easiest to get) would be from B2 or Bryan.

-- edit: should we just pull together our existing fact files and see what our random stats are ?

[jasong]

My math was only applied to the ten ranges on the stats page, so I could be way off.

What would be nice, or interesting at the very least, would be to know about how many factors to expect in, say, a week, for a certain amount of sieving power. I'm of the opinion that factor density could be approximately figured by a math problem, the graph of which would probably be some sort of parabolical curve. If one wanted to get super-technical, one could add an equation that says the odds the answer will be correct within 10% for any amount of sieving.

Unfortunately, my math skills are incredibly rusty, and I have little experience with parabolas anyway.

To do this reasonably accurate estimate, we would actually need to lay the k/n pairs (as bits) over an array of prime mask bits generated from the eratosthenes prime generator (aka... do a stripped down sampled sieve). that would give us a nice sampler... it may just be worth the effort.. I will look into it.

Thoughts anyone??

Jasong,

Good to see you again on sieve.
