    P-1 coordination thread - discussion

    Gonna try secondpass on my xeons and sieving on my XP for a while until everything settles down. Hate doing duplicate work.

    Give it a day or so until things sort themselves out. If it is just a runaway client (or something) these tests will be re-released. If it is really a massive influx of computing power, then there is no way for P-1 to keep up with it.

    Sieving anyone?

    Thanks Joe, its about time for sieving again anyway. Was just waiting for the new siever, guess its working fine now.

    One user outperformed the ARS team yesterday, all by his/her lonesome. Today he/she slowed down a little, but would still have come in third place as a team.

    With the lastest issues in the prp I'm placed in a ackward position, of not knowing the best solution to the issues.

    I'm going to make the suggestion that people skip a range of P-1 upto 12M.

    Reason being I'm uncertain if Louie or Dave will transfer the dropped tests back into the firstpass que or not. Also even if they can/do we have some legit assigments in the range of 11.3 to 12M....


    If we simply left a gap would solve a bunch of issues.
    - It would ensure P-1 factors score properly and give P-1 a headstart/lead on prp again.

    In either case reserve as you wish.

    Makes sense to me, because the next.txt file is blank. But it is at 11975918 taken from Mike's stats page. http://www.aooq73.dsl.pipex.com/2006/scores_t.htm

    Yeah...
    If you go by this page, http://www.seventeenorbust.com/stats/rangeStatsEx.mhtml
    it's pretty obvious everything was handed out to n=12M for firstpass.

    13470000 13485000 engracio ? [reserved]


    Looks like he went above that, all the way to n=13.5m. Now the big question after everything settles down and the runaway client dropped everything is would the admin put back the dropped test to first pass. If they put it back to first pass would we be able to factor it and still get the benefits of factoring? I.e if we find a factor would the server consider it a passed test?

    Personally I do not care where we start over again as long as we do not do double work or for nothing. As what everybody has been saying, the longer the test become the more benefit p1 factoring is. With my ancient cpu's they are getting very long.

    E,

    Those tests around 13.4M are far a few between they are actually from a very old special que 13367 or something like that, I think a total of ~10 were completed.

    I can assure you that there were no tests between >12M assigned recently.

    Regardless do the range you specified if you wish, but if you havn't got that far I'd suggest taking something a little lower. By the time we get to 13.4M I'd like to see another 2 k's eliminated.

    Okay buddy make sense to me, was just not sure. I was just prepping the wu so that when the boxes running the sieving and secondpass prp completes p1 can continue.

    Let me reserve this range then:


    12000000 12020000 engracio ? [reserved

    I can always go back down to the correct prp range when this set is complete. Thanks.

    Sounds good e.

    12050000 12051000 jasong [complete] 1 factor

    (the very first p-1 in the group, and my very first p-1, period, found a factor. I thought that was a good sign, but of the 22 k/n pairs in that range, it was the only factor. go figure)

    1 out of 22 is a very lucky shot... You should expect 1-2% success rate, unless the limits you're using are on the extremes.

    yup one out of 22 is pretty lucky. I believe the first time I tried P-1 factoing I found one on the second or third number. Then not again for quite some time.

    I gave Prime95 an 800MB maximum which, unless I totally misunderstood something I read about that, should be more than enough.

    Question: If you run p-1 more than once, it does the problem slightly differently each time because of randomization, right? So, would that make it possible that another p-1 could find a factor that the previous one missed? Even with exactly the same parameters?

    to the best of my knowledge, this is not how it works. it's true for ECM though and this is why we run many curves (trials) in ECM at each boundary.

    Consider a prime factor p of your number k*2^n-1. p-1 is not prime, and has a factorisation p=p_1*p_2*p_3*...*q*r, where q and r are the two largest factors.
    If r<B1, the factor p will be found in stage 1, if r<B2 AND q<B1, it will be found in stage 2. No random parameters.
    In other words: if all prime factors of p-1 are below B1, it's a stage-1-hit, if the largest (and only the largest) is between B1 and B2, it's a stage-2-hit.
    Yours H.

    E, you might be working behind prp...

    -VJS

    Not really, had to dump a few G here and there but I mostly factored 95% of this range. Too bad did not get much factors like the last time. Maybe this next range. e


    11400000 11500000 engracio 17 [complete]


    E
    17 factors is not bad. You didn't have to dump all those G because PRP is back down again. Want to go back and get them?

    So far you have a lock on the 500000 points and above:

        p (T)       k         n       Score     Factor found    Score changed  Score was    Score could be  Reqd bias  PRP saved

    Joe,

    What I meant about dumping several G's or is it M's is that when I see the prp being issued at or just behind what I am factoring, I would dump a few of them until I am just above it. Granted some might have been re issued again but at least I know someone is prp'ing it and I don't want to duplicate work.

    Yes, the prp going back and forth gave me enough time to like I said factor about 95% of this range.

    My next range will give me plenty of head room I would not even worry about it.

    E,

    I'm currious what you are currently using for B1 and B2 bounds... Seem to be doing pretty well, IMHO.

    I'll be glad when I finish my last range under 12m, hopefully it would give me lots of breathing room. Have to constantly check the assignment page for the current n. Last week have to either skip bunch of n just to stay ahead of prp. I try to complete as many n as I can. Alas most of them are not factors but you do not know that unless it gets factored. With the 12m range, I should be able to just stick 100 or so n's per cpu and not worry about it getting passed by prp. Harvest them and send out the factors.

    Which reminds me, I feel the assignment page is the most current for the current n being given out. I now prefer looking at it instead of the next.txt page. I guess when we get ahead again from current n being handed out, the next.txt page will be relevant again.

    vjs, I use B1=70000, B2=822500 bounds. With my duallies I reserve 560mb per cpu with 1.17% chance. I have 1.5GB memory per box.


    e

    BTW, what sieve depth and factor worth should be use for the 12m range. Right now I am using 50.1 and 1.8 with the 1160-1175 range. How much to change if any?

    Currently there are 6K tests left before 12M and there are roughly 20k tests per million n. This would suggest the actual n value is somewhere around 11.6-11.7M.

    Regardless the only person this currently affects is E and he is generally on top of his ranges. The good news the lowest reservable range is >12M so were safe for now.

    Keep up the good work people.

    You seem to be doing great on your own, better than expected.



    I wouldn't change a thing.

    Might change your luck.

    Louie can you post what is the B1=B2 setting you are currently using on your P1 factoring? Thanks.

    I'm not using B1/B2. I'm using prime95 24.14 with a sieve depth of 50 and a factor value of 2.1 and specify 256MB of mem for B2. These settings end up causing approximately B1=95000, B2=1092500.

    Somewhat overkill. I'm trying to find more large factors like

    19750058751527901255535231 | 21181*2^12447884+1

    19750058751527901255535230 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 ^ 2 x 11 x 17 ^ 2 x 2963 x
    32191 x 90863 x 487649

    What are you using?

    Cheers,
    Louie

    Louie,

    I believe most people choose B1 between 60k-85k and a B1:B2 ratio between 10-16.

    Larger than this range your time spent per factor drops quite a bit, but you do find larger factors of course.

    The B1:B2 ratio is based upon suggestions from Dr. Silverman where a roughly equal time should be spent during stage1 and stage2.

    That is the reason I asked you the question why you are getting lots of large factors. I am also using Prime 24.14 with 50.1 and 1.8 factor value, b1=75000 b2=825000. Since I have 1.5gb of memory per duallie I am using 560mb per instance of prime. It seems that the amount of memory does not really affect the completion per unit any faster. I am just looking for different configuration I can use factoring. Thanks.

    vjs,

    Comparing his factors found and mine, seems like he is finding a little bit more. Nothing close to being scientific but a Pluto wag (out there guess)

    Interesting lets compare louies and yours...

    12250000 12500000 louie 107
    11780000 11930000 louie 44

    Basically Louie P-1'ed a range of 400000 n and produced 151 factors.

    0.3775 factors per 1000 n-range

    11600000 11770000 engracio 30
    12000000 12020000 engracio 8
    11400000 11600000 engracio 51

    E P-1'ed a total range of 390000 n and produced 89 factors.

    0.228 factor per 1000 n-range.

    Louie used a B1=95K with B2=B1x11.5
    E used a B1=75K with B2=B1x11

    Basially Louie spent close to 30% more processing power per k/n pair, yeilding a 65% increase in factor probability.

    -------------------

    Very interesting, E you might want to try higher bounds say B1=110k and if you are not limited in memory and have dual channel try upping your B2:B1 ratio. I wouldn't go much beyond 14.

    B2=1500000

    Are you still running those MPX's?

    The most important point to remember is a little P-1 is better than no P-1 so as long as we are not passing ranges...

    To try and translate VJS's recommendation into the parameters that you are using, I would suggest that you try changing your 1.8 factor value to the 2.1 that Louie is using. Depending on how that goes, I would try 2.2 as well. I would recommend that you leave everything else as is, unless you want to lower your factor depth to 50.0 from 50.1 as well or instead of changing the factor value. It would be instructive to see what these changes do to your B1 and B2 values, as well as your run time.

    Vjs,

    Yes on the MPX but they are now sieving and dying slowly, had to use their memory and to increase and make it dual channel the memory on the Xeons and a Pentium D915 oc'd to 3500 mhz. Probably could get a few more mhz but did not want to spent money on memory and better cooling.

    Did not know you guys were going to break it down and throw off my galactic wag. Portions of my range were skipped due to the random fluctuations of the prp. I know I skipped a few factors.

    I really just wanted to know how Louie was able to complete those range so quick. One quick answer was he had more machines to crunch. doh!

    I'll slowly increase the B2 and see if they really make that much difference. My P1 machines are all Intel cpu's and I try to have at least 1gb of memory while factoring. What is odd is I have P4 2.8 with only 512 memory with 452mb allotted, max memory Prime95 would let me allocate. It can crunch a factor every two hours but my Xeon 3.1 could only crunch every two and half with 560mb alloted per instance.

    Most of the time it is not used. Ummm.

    Humm,

    I forgot about that in the calc's I guess that throws everything out the window from above.

    Still using my MPX as a home machine, dual 2.4G Bartons and 2G of ram, sieve exclusively. Yup it's getting old. I should have sold it off 6 months ago. I could have got ~$400 for just the board and processors . But it's tough to find something decent with u320 or PCI-X slots.

  33. #33
    Since this thread is a little old what is the sieving depth and factor value should be used when doing a range?
    Thanks.

    I wouldn't use sieve depth and factor worth.
    I'd simply specify the B1 and B2 values.

    Since it will be a while until we get to 14M I would suggest you use.

    B1=100k to 120k with a b2=b1x12 to b2=b1x14 depending on how much memory you have.

    in other words,

    minimum
    B1=100000 b2=1200000

    maximum
    B1=120000 b2=1700000

    What CPU memory and amount of memory do you have?

  35. #35
    The one I will run on is an Intel dual core 6600 running 2.4 GHz (stock) with 2 Gig of memory. SOB Sieve will also be running on it.

    To use the B1 B2 do I use the AdvanceFactor command for PRIME95? I assume I edit the the worktodo.ini to use the B1 B2.

    To specify the desired B1 and B2 values, place the following line(s) in your worktodo.ini file:
    Pminus1=10223,2,14000237,1,120000,1700000
    where
    Pminus1=k,2,n,1,B1,B2

    Do not use the AdvanceFactor command, that is for something else.

    Thank You! I now see that was in the instructions at the top of the reserve thread.

    The 1st few line of my are worktodo are:

    Pminus1=21181,2,14000180,1,120000,1700000
    Pminus1=10223,2,14000237,1,120000,1700000
    Pminus1=21181,2,14000252,1,120000,1700000
    Pminus1=10223,2,14000261,1,120000,1700000
    Pminus1=55459,2,14000278,1,120000,1700000

    It is running.

    Let us know what your times are per run, it would be interesting to see.

    The last two stage 1 times were 6800 and 6893 seconds.
    The last two stage 2 times were 5078 and 5119 seconds.

    In my range, 14000000 to 14010000, I have 444 numbers left to do. With the one core I can do about 7 per day. From the user stats it has:

    "Factors next to enter (main) 'active window' " which is at n=13813352".

    From the link http://www.seventeenorbust.com/sieve/next.txt it has:

    k n
    24737 13629607


    Which number do I have to stay ahead of? Looks like I may have to spread the work around on some of my other boxes.

    Yes you might have to spread the wealth to several cpu/cores to stay ahead. The number fluctuate back and forth from the highest to some lower k and n. Mainly because somebody dropped it and went back to the first pass queue. If you stay ahead of the "next to enter" you'll be fine. At the current rate 2 or 3 cpu/core should be enough to stay ahead until you figured out the system/p1'ing.

    On my pd945 3.4 oc'd to 3.9 I get 5767 secs on stage 1 and the other core is 5484 on stage 2. I am using 840mb per core since I have 2gb of memory. 1.34% probability of finding a factor.
