Hi Primepickers PrimeStats is a perl script that interogates the top producers table at: http://mersenne.org/ips/topproducers.shtml, after you've saved it to disk, it will give you a report on participants as specified by yourself in a seperate data file. The script will also give you a detailed report of the future prospects of one user ID that you supply to the script via the command line, this detailed report tells you how many people are in front of the user but going slower and how many people behind but going faster and gives you estimates of when the user will catch the pack in front and when the chasing pack will catch up etc. The script is available here: http://www.zeropps.uklinux.net/linstuff.html And here is a sample report that finds current details for 10 users and gives a detailed report for one of them (me): Run Date: Thu 15 Feb 2001 Participants counted: 20,018 Extra details for user ID: sjlen Position User Name CPU Years Exponents CPU P90 Tested Hrs Per Day 1264 S18743 8.921 16 225.16 3056 felipel 3.667 8 49.83 3171 sjlen 3.512 7 66.59 3496 mbandsmer 3.050 19 24.85 4021 Pse 2.488 5 45.91 5394 Lalo1 1.549 18 12.62 5981 S16318 1.319 3 28.17 6773 mage21 1.010 3 17.49 7411 S17376 0.838 2 19.11 7434 Paradoks 0.833 7 6.84 3171 sjlen 3.512 7 66.59 ------------------------------------------------ 712 people are faster than you but behind you, at an average speed of 115.27 CPU hours per day they are approximately 1.75 years behind you. You will be in the center of the chasing pack in something like 312.84 days. 825 people are slower than you but in front of you, at an average speed of 51.04 CPU hours per day they are approximately 1.37 years in front of you. You should be in the middle of the pack that you are chasing in something like 763.26 days. Any comments or suggestetions for improvements or error reports are welcome. -- Cheers Steve email mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] %HAV-A-NICEDAY Error not enough coffee 0 pps. web http://www.zeropps.uklinux.net/ or http://start.at/zero-pps 3:39pm up 13 days, 17:18, 3 users, load average: 1.22, 1.18, 1.18 _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
