Nothing new to report.Originally Posted by jMcCranie
Rest assured that someone (probably me, unless Louie jumps in) will let you know any information as soon as we know anything.
If I were Louie, I wouldn't give up until every last possibility was tried. And that may take a while.
Just emailed a results.txt - close to 5 years worth
If I can find the others I will send them too
I also believe double checks are worth it. Basically, if we have a 5% error rate, then it's even faster to find a prime if we can complete a double check in 1/20th the time of an initial check.
A recent change at GIMPS is to send out a double check assignment to everyone when they first join and once every year. This helps the project find bad computers quickly so their work can be double checked immediately. Sending out a double check at the beginning is also good in that new users get to finish something sooner.
I did say I'd let you know as soon as I heard anything, so here it is. It's not good news, unfortunately.
There's no hope of recovering the data or software from the SoB server. It's gone. SoB is not coming back.
Louie has asked us to take over the entire SoB search. We intend to do so, but I can't tell you exactly what that means. For now, we are crunching all 6 Ks in the 31M < n < 32M range, and we'll continue with that until we decide how to move forward.
You are all, of course, welcome to come on over to PrimeGrid and help with SoB.
I'd like, at this point, to sincerely thank everyone who sent us their log files. Of all the information we've been able to gather from different sources, I suspect that your log files may end up being the most useful. They contain the most recent information, regarding the largest tasks. Those are most useful.
Thanks for the update, bad news is better than not knowing. I've been peeking at this forum and PrimeGrid's forum every few days to see if there's been any updates.
Want some good news?
There's now 5 Ks remaining in the Sierpinski Problem.
Missed whole thing and come here from PG announcement.
