Hi Jeff, What was the expected completion date of that person's assigned number? (i.e. does that cross-check also hold up, raising the confidence level?) Yes, it does. Completed almost two days earlier than expected, I think that's ok too. (Please don't post the number itself here if

Hi Achim, have a look a the available exponents for double checking. George has made several thousend new exponents available. Maybe the new exponents hadn't been double checked before orprevious double checking results didn't match.Therefore he had to do a 'small synchronization' at some

% of the local average of 310 P-90 h/day. Thus divide the local average of 310 by 0,587 and use the result which is very near to the already known performance of 528 P-90 h/day. Does anybody know a pretty formula of this algorithm? Why does it work at all? Have fun Dieter Schmitt -Ursprngliche Nachricht

Hi all, I'm running Prime95 on a PII-400 for 6 days (no overclocking) at exponent 9409271. It's produced several outputs concerning ROUND OFF ERRORS - the last one is ROUND OFF [0.5] 0.4 What to do now? Restart from iteration 1? Regards Dieter Schmitt
