P-1 coordination thread - discussion

[hhh]

If I let run prime95 with the Pfactor= line, I get much lower values for B1 and B2, probably because I have only 400 MB assigned.

Is anybody interested to take my files after stage 1 and to let finish stage2 on a machine with lots of RAM?

hhh,

what B1 value are you doing them out too?

Depending on the B1 your running I'll do the B2 portion. Only problem, if I recall the residual is something like 1MB in size if not more????

[hhh]

I am running at B1=130000 at the moment. Yes, the residual is big, but I could zip them together with the worktodo.ini and host them on rapidshare or so. (Need just to figure out how that works.). H

Sure I'll run them with a fairly large B2 value. I have 2G so I should be able to run fairly large. How many G of memory do you have?

You know that you can break the secondstage into parts if you wish.

I have 512MB on the P4, and 1GB on the Core2Duo. I had 400MB assigned per instance on the C2D, but Windows became really slow. So I prefered to reduce it a bit.

Thanks, anyway, when I have enough residues together, I'll think about a way to send them to you. H.

hhh,

I have 2G on my quad core with generally 1500mb free. This is free memory even while running two instance of prp and two instances of llr.

I'm thinking I could run one instance of stage 2 on your residues pretty easy.

Not sure where you live, but in the US 2G of memory can often be purchased for 20-30 dollars after mail in rebate. Just a thought.

It's a notebook, and underclocked and undervolted when on battery. 2GB more will basically just empty my battery faster. Furthermore, waking up the computer from hibernate would take 2 times more time.

Sometimes, less is more. H.
