When is the next FFT switch? I am seeing some complaints on Anandtech about reduced performance, and it seems to me that it has been along time since we did an FFT change.

thanks.

yeah, so you mean, like every say 500 tests, a "Supersecret" test goes out in the normal client to normal folks, and is counted normally? how often to be statically detremined by our assumed error...

I don't know about P-1 factoring, but sieve takes some non-zero amount of effort. the client is automatic. Besides, the double check is important too. gimps has a 3% error rate, we will have some...

I like running secret on my slow boxes, it makes the boxes feel like they are do more for the effort by doing 2 tests a day, whereas it would take a month and a half to do a normal test.

Well, we have 13 days or so, like you said, and while it's no big deal, I just don't want secret to have any downtime. I hope he increases the supersecret top limit too. or for that matter, why...

this has probably been asked before, but when we are done with secret, when all the secret tests are done, is secret going to switch to doing supersecret tests? I mean, will the secret "user" switch...

Could I get an ETA for a client with a fixed SSE2 instead of just turned off? I don't want to spend the time to roll out 1.1.1 if 1.1.2 is going to be out within the next 7 days, or so. so, if I...

yeah, that is not a bad suggestion.

thats interesting. I wish there was some way to help him out, so he would have more time to work on it.

We are definatley guilty of doing user switches mid-test. We never intended to cheat by doing that, and the stats seem to iron themselves out when the tests finish.

It is extremely easy for us to...

yeah, that would be great.

The client does not stop a test, no matter what happens. And I believe that the server will stop handing all tests for a given K if one is found prime, since we just want to prove all the K's are...

buy me one, and I will test it for you. :)

no, the extra cache is not likely to make much difference, however moving to the faster 333 and 400 MHz front side bus may help quite a bit.

I have 2 pcs working on secret. I will switch to supersecret when secret is done. we are up to n=500000 in secret. by the time we get to 600000 then we will be finished with 2 more K, as I recall,...

well, in a perfect world, we could sort it by IP, by most recent date, and first date as well as N.

<Dream>It would really cool if I could label an IP address so that I wouldn't have to try to...

this is pretty cool. now I have some idea of what computers are doing what. and which ones haven't been responding lately, so I can go smack them around.

There is no Seventeen or Bust client for Alpha, and there isn't going to be one.

There is, however, an Alpha client to sieve for Seventeen or bust, sieveing being a subproject, but still very...

So I could arbitrarily start testing bigger numbers like say k=55459 n=7000066 and submit the results?


2nd largest prime, here I come!!

:jester:

or maybe not.

Thanks. :)

Well, I know that ORU is smack dab in the middle of the US:

inetnum: 205.143.136.0 - 205.143.143.255
netname: ORU
descr: Oral Roberts University
country: US

adding ORU...

AMD Athlon 1900+s runs at 1600MHz, fyi.

ok, on my PII 350 here is what I am seeing:

~ 152000 cEMs/sec

155.8 days :)

I also think that is what we are seeing.

I noticed that too.

Are you going to leave that machine running 31337 ?

ok, this is great, but is there any chance for a Linux version?

We non-windows folks are not feeling the love.

Should I bother to see if I could run this under Wine?
