Hey buddy can you spare a core

[Beyond]

Dave,

I put one machine on this for now.

Something to think about, the lowest reportable primes on the Top 5000 prime pages are at n=986000, FDCPS is testing in the n=870000 range. Unless some comes along with several hundred machines there is no chance to catch up. If it was me I would drop everything below the Top 5000 trailing edge of reportable primes.

[AMDave]

I am not keen on dumping pairs just because they won't get in the top5000

maybe 'flip' the sort order so the biggest are done first?

you'll see the top5000 flag on the right-side of the prime list page - a feature I added a little while ago.
the server gets the latest min-size from Dr Caldwell's site on a regular basis so the flag is up-to-date for each prime.
using the filter and sort, you can see how many you have on this site that are still in the top5000.

I've passed a core from BOINC to FDCPS. I don't know how much assistance it will be, but it seems to be doing at least a bit. (How do I join a team?)

[AMDave]

What a nice surprise. Welcome!

To join a team, simply nominate here which one you would like to join or even create a new team.

Since you have come along to assist, I'd better do something about reverse sorting the pair-queue and adding a few more of my cores back on.
I'll try to get that done today - playing man versus nature in the garden at the moment and nature is winning again, as usual :P

[AMDave]

The pair re-sort is now done & the port is resumed.
We are now crunching top-down with a chance of top5000 primes

[Telnaior]

Awesome, looks like it makes quite the difference. Hopefully some top5000s come up! (More people participating would probably help too, but I guess you take what you get)

[Telnaior]

Ugh, somehow my LLR got stuck in a loop and it took me six days to notice. Well, at least it should be working again now.
