If anyone wants to be a bit more adventurous than taking "ordinary"
PrimeNet DC assignments, I have a limited number of exponents which
will require double-checking at some stage for which interim residues
at 1 million iteration checkpoints are available. The point here is
that if you also set the program for million iteration checkpoints
(InterimFiles=1000000 in prime.ini) you will be able to catch any
discrepancies early without having to continue the run to the end.
(Of course there is a chance that my checkpoint residues may not be
correct - but the systems they are running on seem to be pretty
reliable!)
The exponents for which I have interim residues are as follows:
7056503, 7092307, 7094839, 7477177, 7731131, 7731259, 7871953,
7927697, 7979819, 8164349, 8167919, 8242327, 8255881, 8369941,
8380621, 8434523, 8549371, 8555881, 8563109, 8573107, 8615273,
8650927, 8655991, 8715337, 8719367, 8767471, 8900161, 8907359,
9057403, 9117209, 9189533, 9443311, 9475097, 9607691, 9617929,
9743639, 9743803, 10068077, 10126621, 10319891, 10386067, 10809893,
11173153, 11561909, 11570227, 11636479, 11772809, 12141223 &
12450397.
If anyone is interested in testing any of these with the P4 code, let
me know around what size exponent you're willing to take on; I'll
reply by email allocating a unique exponent with a list of the
appropriate million iteration interim residues.
