Also, just an observation. My Turin @ 2.3 appears to be doing these faster than my 7950x @4.5 ! ~11 min vs ~12.5 per unit !

The 9950x @ 4.2 is the fastest though at ~8 min

I doubt that's correct. Post the screenshot of your 24 hours hosts from the PG web site showing the average task times for both systems.

If I look at the PG website, its averages vs looking at one task in BOINCTasks (or 2 or 3). In the PG website, you are right.

I was looking at BOINCTasks. I don't know why they are so different. Its not as easy to see here, as I was looking at tasks at 99% complete, the 7950x has none in the picture, but

The PG site will report the actual times. If you want to use BT to see how long the tasks took then use the history tab to see what they are.

Found one myself this morning as well - Workunit 1169082626 : 1397*2^2042299+1 (614797 digits). Found on my dual Xeon Platinum 8259CL system

Edit - got one more right after that post on the Dual E5-2696 V4 system - Workunit 1167189656 : 5261*2^2036471+1 (613043 digits)

We need more power on this. When I started this thread we were 4.2M tasks behind and now we are only 4M tasks behind.

Get your computers on. Get a chance at some easy primes. Tasks times are under 1 hour, so run it part time if you want.

Just got my first prime ever!

Congratulations! Our records indicate that a computer registered by you has found a unique prime number. This computer is assigned to the PPS (LLR). Since candidates on this subproject are not large enough to report to the Top 5000 Primes List, your prime is visible immediately.

Just for people to get a moral boost, i just found a PPSE prime number using a piece of hardware none of you would have ever guessed.

i found it....on a PS4 running linux. TAKE NOTES!

Found another prime.

At the current rate we're going to barely make it by the deadline. I need to recruit more people to help!

Found this one at 11:55PM EST last night on a dual Xeon Platinum 8259CL - Workunit 1169885473 : 3647*2^2044827+1 (615558 digits)

Found this one today 7 minutes ago on a 7945HX - Workunit 1169914982 : 7947*2^2044920+1 (615587 digits)

The following commands tell the size (in decimal digits) of the candidates which your BOINC client is currently testing:

cat /var/lib/boinc/slots/*/stderr.txt |
sed -n 's/Starting Proth prime test of //;T;s/\^/**/p' |
xargs -I X python -c 'from math import ceil,log10; print(ceil(log10(X)))'

The user who emits these commands needs to have read permission for /var/lib/boinc/slots/.
Might be buggy, as I haven't tested it on a live BOINC.

Circa 24 hours from now, the following thread in the PrimeGrid message board should get interesting:
T5k: Race to Remain/Regain (GFN16/PPSE)
On Saturdays, PrimeGrid member Omega is posting T5k progress versus PPSE progress there.

@StefanR5R how many tasks per day are you doing? Hmmm?

@StefanR5R how many tasks per day are you doing? Hmmm?

About sixty F@H tasks and a handful MW@H tasks. ;-P

Hmm, I caved in to F@H group pressure yesterday. I feel PPSE group pressure mounting... :-D

Oh no, it's cool. I mean, it's just nearly the whole team is pushing for PPSE. No pressure, Bud. I'm not running F@H until the challenge, just like I did last year.

When WCG comes back up, most of my boxes will switch to that, until the challenge.

That's fine. Gives me a chance to pass you up when you switch over. You overtook me on PPSE a few days ago.

Might be buggy, as I haven't tested it on a live BOINC.

On a Linux Mint 21.1 installation of mine, this wants python3 in the last line instead of python.

All witness my incredible feats of prime finding!

Compliments are welcome, but I prefer Paypal or Venmo.
