Automated primality testing with LLRnet for CRUS

[em99010pepe]

Is it possible to create a dedicated sub forum for NPLB (No Prime Left Behind Project) project?

I already added a few Top 5000 candidates and soon I'll need to post a few threads explaining how to submit primes, how the score system works, how to set up the LLRNet client, etc...

i tried to be fast.....
so here is the first glance of our 24h-race on LLRnet:

http://www.rieselprime.org/nplb/NPLB...080902_24h.htm

this link in not yet inserted in the NPLB-homepage (will be done) and the scorings for LLRnet from the race are not yet included in the 'Overall'-LLRnet stats page (next to do too).

please have a look and perhaps more suggestions to implement.
i will do:
- listing primes found in race

939*2^331229-1 is prime!

We are almost in the Top 5000 territory (n>349.2K) within LLRnet server. In this case all primes must be submitted to top-5000 prime:

Instructions for submitting a top-5000 prime:

Go to http://primes.utm.edu/primes/home.php.

Step 1: For people who have not submitted top-5000 primes previously, create a prover account:
1. Select 'Submit' on the lower left side under 'Join in'.
2. Select the 'click here to create a prover-account' link in the middle of the page.
3. Fill out the form and submit it. You will be assigned a prover account.

Step 2: Create a proof code:
1. Go to the home page in the link above and select 'Index' on the left side under 'Provers'.
2. Next to 'search prover-accounts', type yours and press enter.
3. Click on your prover account (there may be one or several) and press enter.
4. Towards the bottom, click on 'Create a New Proof-Code' and press enter.
5. If necessary in the little pop-up box, type in your user name (prover account) and password and press enter.
6. You should now have a list of proof programs. Select LLR.
7. In the space below all the programs, type in 'PrimeSearch' for the project and 'Srsieve' for the sieving software. Separate each selection by a comma. (Obviously if you did an individual-k search on your own, then the software may vary.)
8. You should now have a new proof code and can submit the prime. Example...L442.

Step 3: Submit the prime:
1. Go to the home page in the link above and select 'Index' on the left side under 'Provers'.
2. Next to 'search proof-code', type your new code from step 2 and press enter.
3. Towards the bottom, next to 'Submit primes using this code as', click on your name (prover account) and press enter.
4. If necessary in the little pop-up box, type in your user name (prover account) and password and press enter.
5. You should see a big free-form box. Type in your prime (no spaces needed) and click 'Press here to submit these prime(s)'.
6. A verification screen will come up. If the prime is correct, click 'Press here to complete submission'.

Soon my strategy will be different, in case you miss the prime from your machines I'll send you a PM warning you to submit the prime and I won't post here the prime until Top 5000 confirms it as a prime number. Any doubts?

I'll have some of whatever Beyond is crunching.
