Thanks, Assimilator1 - whatever you and everyone else can send any tidbits my way to make SoB to sing on this box - as I said in an earlier post (or was it to the Dpad thread?) I tossed Dpad onto the box to process since SoB was only using 1 core this morning.
Just took a look at it now and see that SoB is reporting that it will take more than 500 hrs :shocked: to process and dpad is still saying "Muon 1 started: Configuring". Haven't looked to see if it posted ANY points since this morning. It is definitly affecting SoB since the time to complete jumped from 250 hrs to over 500!
I will be decloaking Dpad and just run SoB.
Not gonna bother with F@H on this box this week since I don't wanna bother going thru another multi-hour marathon in getting the GPU2 to try to crunch. At least I got my Quad box to fold thanks to the guys and dolls at TeAM and especially major kudos to Cutthroat - just wish Markfw900 will finally be able to get that Quad box of his to not only fold but be able to comm his major problems since upgrading to the new core, since the old one (which worked OK!) expired.
To see a Quad box not be able to fold for TeAM is a crime against humanity! :|

Ooops...Congrats to TeAM for getting into 2nd Place - Woohoo :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

What's SoB? I'm about to hit 1,000,000 points on F@H and I might let my CPU crunch a new project after that, but I don't know what.

TurtleBlue Are you running the GUI or service version of SOB?
Cutthroat, SOB stands for Seventeen or Bust, a mathematical project aimed at tackling the Seirpenski Problem using distributed computing.
The Sierpinski problem itself deals with numbers of the form N = k * 2^n + 1, for any odd k and n > 1. Numbers of this form are called Proth numbers. If, for some specific value of k, every possible choice of n results in a composite (non-prime) Proth number N, then that k is called a Sierpinski number. The Sierpinski problem itself is: "What is the smallest Sierpinski number?"

I'll also point out that 11 of the 17 primes have been found, so the project has seen success. You just have to decide if a math problem is worth the crunching power.

I still had the folders for SoB & Dpad when I was involved with them sometime in the early part of last year so I just ran the executables from them. Don't know anything about GUI or service versions of SoB. Guess I'll need to visit the SoB homepage and look into this.
Yes, I do remenber that some of the prime #'s were already found, including one from our TeAM!

So what is the scientific benefit of knowing these prime numbers? What can be done if they find all 17?

Didn't Confused used to crunch this project a lot & do some stats? Where is he these days?
Turtle Blue
Afraid I don't know anything about SoB ( I never did really get on with maths ), I'll carry on our DPAD convo in the DPAD stats thread , although I will say it sounds like you might have an old client which is being blocked/ignored by the servers.

Hmm. It does appear that you can run multiple instances of this.
I just threw this on my machine. I'm completely baffled as to what all these numbers and stats mean, especially "equivalent power". Ironically, their homepage has a section for FAQs, one of which is supposedly hosted here at AT (link's dead).

Just don't make too much noise, or we will awaken the cows, and they can throw a LOT of cowpower on a project......
I have a feeling that they are waiting to dump anyways. Who knows though.

I should have the #1 user spot this weekend, right now the team spot is still at least 2 weeks away...
You can run Sob as a service, you can run multiple instances that way.
If anyone wants a scripted install, PM me and I can get that to you. It is a pretty straight forward install after your account is set up.
The project is trying to prove the Sierpinski Conjecture. Here is a description the SoB site links to as a description: http://everything2.com/index.p...=Seventeen%20or%20bust
As far as the other benefits of the project, the main benefit is the discovery of extremely large prime numbers, which are often used for encryption. Not as interesting as some of the other projects maybe, but the client runs well behind the proxies at my work, so that is why I have so much on it. After we take the top spot, I will probbly start working on getting another project to run at work and keep enough on SoB to hold #1.

Yea I was just going to post this, all I have to say is that it's one amazing accomplishment.
When the next prime is found I hope that it's in your account. Congratulations on that #1 spot you deserve it.
Yeah, he is the founder of the SoB team & is still crunching, although not as much as he used to.

Run the single instance & get the settings the way you want, then install as a service.
Our own ken_g6 created SBQueue for caching work if you need it.
Those numbers can be a little confusing at first but you'll catch on. To tell the truth i don't know what equivalent power means.

Good news, I'm back from vacation and I have my two main rigs crunching again, and my output is back up to 15T/week. Even better, I've upgraded one of the machines (my friend's) to an E5200 @ 3.8Ghz, so should be seeing a slight increase in output from that.
Still don't have my two monster quad-core rigs built yet, those will be a while.

I figured out how the service works, so now I'm running 3 instances of the client, output is going up!
