Hi all,
We've recently started Drive #9 (http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=11285) over at NPLB, for the range of k=1005-2000, n=50K-350K. Because of the large number of k's in this drive, we have decided to search it by k rather than by n; thus, the first phase of Drive #9 will be for the n=50K-200K range.
Since these ranges are very fast, based on the numbers we're seeing, we believe we have a chance to finish the 50K-200K phase of this drive by the time sieving completes for the higher ranges (estimated to complete somewhere around the 16th or 20th of this month). However, we could use all the help we can get to attain that goal. :D
These small candidates have turned out to be a whole lot of fun to do since they process so quickly; I would like to encourage everyone here to come on over and check them out! :) Based on what we've seen, our servers can handle pretty much anything that we can throw at them, so no need to worry about overloading anything. :)
The LLRnet server we're using for this drive is at:
server = "nplb.ironbits.net"
port = 9000
A status page showing the server's progress can be seen at http://nplb.ironbits.net, where there are also links to take you to our stats pages, which have recently been upgraded and are now quite full-featured and snappy. :)
