be careful for what you wish for
I'm not sure if the rest of us can sieve that fast
but I'd sure like to find out

Ah, no need to worry--sieving is, for the most part, the least of our worries right now. Even though the k=1003-2000 sieving is still somewhat up in the air until June (at which point everything up to n=1M will be all set and we can open the floodgates as necessary), we've got truckloads of k=400-1001 work (Drives 5, 6, and 7) that could keep all of Free-DC busy for months on end.
Seeing that Teams didn't start until mid October last year, let's see what the totals are when AMDave starts Team Stats Totals from that point.
22 Oct 08 was the first post in the NPLB Forum asking to form teams.

28 Oct 08 is the first post by gd_barnes announcing 'Raiders of the Lost Primes' team thread

Woo!
Just the one though?GREAT NEWS. You have found a Prime! on the NPLB Project.
Links in the email seem to point to the previous drive...
Schweet!
I've been asked to find out what Free-DC would prefer in order to increase the participation level and interest.
The client is absolutely easy to run, as some of you have found out this time around.
What is easier for you, my fellow teammates?
More frequent rallies with short durations or less frequent rallies with a longer duration?
2 day rally
4 day rally
7 day rally
or longer perhaps?

(Raiders of the Lost Primes - #1 at the moment, with Free-DC in the #2 spot)

4 day (long weekend) rally every month would be good for me; wouldn't take too much away from the main projects I want to run but would still give a regular boost...
Getting it BOINC'd would help...
Back onto my normal BOINC projects - be happy to help the next run though
Are We There Yet
Those of us that will continue on, you can find your progress here: http://stats.ironbits.net/statsnew/n...ntent=progress
Scroll down to port 8000...
More emails like this next rally as well pleaseWith the rally, you found a prime that is in the top-5000 largest primes of all time. Congrats!
Not usually that interested in maths projects but given it's easy to run this, definitely happy to take part in more rallies in the future
Thanks to all the rally participants
Also
We have been challenged with a longer term goal of taking No1 away from ROLP.
Some of you may wish to rise to this challenge
I'm all over that! ROLP
/me likes Free-DC in #1 spot
I'm thinking this one would make a nice candidate for Project of the Month!
Like OGR, the work units will take longer to complete as the days go by...
The longer we wait to make our move, the longer it will take for us to get there.
In 30 days, we would be really close, and perhaps take #1 IF we all pushed hard.
Is it over already?
I think 4 day minimum since switching projects on machines takes a little time so once we have things up and running let it go for 4 or 7 days, then we can switch back to something else.
As for frequency, I think once a month is ok or at least every 2 months. I found one new top 5000 prime so I'm very happy. It was in the top 2000 when I submitted it, now it is 2007.
Jeff.
Was any Free-DC member using 100% of there Resources to push this Rally?
I was only at about 55 - 60% pointed here
If this was the common case among us all
I would say let the Dogs of war out and go to FULL Burn to Take First Place
Projection's say about a 50 day run to take 1st If we can maintain a 50K a day
PCZ and myself can put up ~16K per day, but not for a couple weeks until we finish the sieve jobs we are doing so we can load up more work onto the NPLB llrnet servers.
32K per day + PCZ/IB
40K per day + Lauren
20K per day (Team Free-DC) of course, more the merrier
We also do not have a full weeks run into the stats system, so the time to overtake will take a big drop right?
It shows we are gaining at 16,619, when in fact, we are gaining faster than that right (50,000)? Now it says 126 days
PHP Code:
Rank Team Score Average Daily Gain Days to Overtake
1 ROLP 5,104,598 25,775 16,619 126.56
I did it by the math
If the ROLP team stays at there output now 25K X 30 = 750 K + 2 Mil =
2,750,000 / 30 = 91666.666666666666666666666666667 points per day
I'll put at least a core or three on it when the current PotM is over, if we decide to push.
Anyway of having it run unobtrusively? For the rally weekend I could put up with 4 or 8 command windows but if I'm going to run it for longer would really want a better way (i.e. less command windows )?
I can see if I was on XP I could install as a service via the system tray icon but under Vista, the system tray icon's menu doesn't show properly Anyway to get it as a service via command line?
I use grouping
In Vista, probably not.
See this thread http://www.free-dc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18574
Got 1 installed as service (3rd menu option - bit of trial and error when each entry is blank ) but when I go to do the 2nd service it fails...I'll try and fiddle a bit more
/edit - decided to just run LLRNET from the startup folder; can't seem to install more than 1 service as the service name is hardcoded by the looks of it...oh well, no command windows - just dodgy tray icons instead
Anyone know of any plans of a new client that plays better with Vista in terms of the tray icons/menu?

The native service installer only really works for one client.
I run all my clients as services using srvany and instsrv.
Do you need some instructions ?
I'll stick with the system tray icons for now - was using IB's script that set the affinitys which is why I had the command windows ;p
