As far as I can figure out, once it's converted to BOINC, newbies ought to be able to switch to SoB a lot easier as the whole setup and stuff are unified (right? wrong?).
If nothing else, it seems...
Let me be the first one to give high-5s on the big 1P.
I hadn't quite realized how close a race this was up there at the top 2.
After more than a year and gazillions of P90 years the top two...
Well, this page here:
http://www.seventeenorbust.com/stats/teams/
says 999.98Tcem.
Methinks there's a bug somewhere?
FWIW: I have sb100 running under Slack 9.0 2.4.20. I crashes or hangs between one and five times a day, but otherwise produces (apparently valid) output.
The only reason anybody on any OS is...
As far as I can tell, my athlons seem to be producing fewer cem/s lately than they used to. I cannot really tell whether this is because the FFT length just made another jump (odd coincidence?) or...
This may be sheer coincidence, but 1.5e6/log(2) = 4982892
So if there's some limit to windows or to the client at 1.5 million digits, that would show up for n around 498xxxx
(my 1.0 client on...
In my experience, memory speed counts. Thus the question becomes what kind of memory you're using and at what FSB.
Just the last week I replaced the memory on an Athlon-1.2 (PC133 instead of...
Several people (including myself) have been posting gdb traces and core post-mortems to various forums including this one. We told you the name of the source file where you are doing something wrong,...
Well, if you don't know what to say, let me say it:
It's been known for many months that the networking code in the Linux client is borked. On my XP2k/Slack9 machine it'll run just fine except...
FWIW, I haven't had any crashing/hang problems since using "sbwrap".
The link was posted at the Ars forums a while ago:

Since nobody replied to this: I expect to see the 6th prime in SoB, and (a lot later) the 7th. I doubt I'll stick around after that, as there seems to be a back-of-the envelope expectation of...
Oh, but the amount of RAM is entirely besides the point: the bottleneck is between the processor(s) and the RAM, not between the RAM and anywhere else. There's so-and-so much code and data that fits...
I've never tried it so the following is purely theoretical:
As far as I can figure out, the bottleneck on all of these Big-FFT clients (GIMPS, S@H, SoB, etc) is memory -- the whole operation...
The "overtake" stuff of this is borked.
Some of the dates make sense, others are completely nonsense. For example look at this page:
...
Another one: the inability to stop processing a block NOW (and returning the intermediate results to the server or whatever).
If I want to go on a vacation, I essentially have to start watching a...
Well, I called it "our conclusion" because that's what it was -- not word from high up, just what we concluded. [shrugs]
Quite frankly I don't care about "cheating" or whatever, but if our...
After brooding over this with a friend a while ago we came to the following conclusion: The total work done by a person increases as "intemediate blocks" are submitted. If a person abandons a test...
Because the same amount of CPU power could have completed a whole lot more tests six months ago than it can now? Because someone who has his box on 24/7 today would get ranked behind someone who had...
"Some of us" have warned months ago that there's a problem on the horizon when the full tests get to be many days worth of 24/7 crunching and there's no way to do a part of a test and then return...
Antarctica has been permanently inhabited since 1958, in the 01/02 austral year about 3000 people worked at antarctic stations through the US Antactic Program alone; of them over 600 science...
I did that and it made no difference whatsoever. The problem isn't in the DNS resolution, it's in the networking code where a lot of buffers of memory are allocated and never freed (at least that's...
Maybe it is a speed-bug somewhere -- 1.0.2 in linux (Redhat8) never worked for me. Constant crashes. I reverted back to 1.0.0 and it only crashes once every PRP now.
If there's simply a symmetric error probability, then we should be able to tell it approximately like this: We've done 120000 test. The vast, vast, vast majority of them return "3", i.e. composite....
If I recall the list correctly, the three highest ones have something in the neighborhood of 1M, 2M and 4M digits, so I'll say this one will be 8M (+/- 10% or so) just because it would look nice.
