PSP Sieve + SOB Sieve

from "_read me first.txt" )))

COMBINED Seventeenorbust / PSP Project
--------------------------------------

***********************************************************
* THIS IS THE DAT WHICH IS HIGHLY SUGGESTED AT THIS TIME. *
***********************************************************

You can download this dat here:
http://www.teamprimerib.com/vjs

Look for a file "Combined Dat"
and choose the most recent file with the lowest number of k's.

such as:
Combined_Dat_SoB_PSP_19K_991-50M_Oct_2006.zip

This dat searches for factors for the remaining 19k's over the n-range of
991 to 50,000,000.
(this dat will decrease to a 18K or 17K dat as primes are found in either project.)

The advantage of using this dat is your over doubling your contribution by participating in both projects.
The speed is a little slower compared to a SoB or PSP only dat but the pay-off is well worth it.

Reservations are made here:

Thanks Death!

Yup as Death pointed out, if the description is not clear let us know.

VJS,
Do you want to update the dat files in your directory, especially if it's referenced in the readme? Joe & Lars have an updated one at http://www.psp-project.de/test/sievecomb.zip. I know that performance-wise it shouldn't make a huge difference, but still....

That's the DAT file I've been using all along, time to create an SOB account and start getting credit for the SOB sieving as well as the PSP Sieving. Thanks for the info guys

question: when submitting my sieve results, do I submit them to http://www.seventeenorbust.com/sieve/ and how do I claim them as my own?

[vjs]

Pretty simple,

Lars over at PSP has been submitting them so they are not lost factors.

But if you want to get personal credit you simply have to sign up for SoB and submit your factors here first (link you provided) then PSP.

Thanks for running the combined dat and helping us out.

Excellent! Just submitted the factors that I had finished crunching yesterday and they were validated Thanks for all the help guys, time to pass the info on to the XS community.

Willdo, probably later this week RL has caught up with me.

Ok well now I'm curious and frustrated, I submitted the factors for a 800G and 300G range to the Seventeenorbus.com/sieve/ form while logged in as my subteam XSthemachine and it hasn't credited any points or even added the username to the XS team over at stats.free-dc.org. Does it take longer than 18 hours for the stats server or am I missing a step? Tired of being in 49th place, want to advance

My understanding is that they are scored manually & usually take a couple of weeks (or more) to post. If you look at the free-dc page or the SB Sieving and factoring scores page they were last updated 18-Feb-2007.

Oh.. I was just so used to the PSP Sieve with instant-gratification : Thanks, I'm just impatient and want results Now and not yesterday :\
