June 2, 2003 Mail-Archive is experiencing technical problems, all archives are temporarily offline and are being actively restored from backup. Because of the very large volume of data, this process takes a long time - multiple days so far, and possible a few more are required. Thank you for your patience.

So, here we go... My verification run of M#40 just completed....not prime. Now we wait for Guillermo Ballester Valor's run to complete in the next few days. Our runs matched at 13 million iterations. Possibilities are: 1) The original run was flawed or there is a bug in the version of prime95 used. It is hard to imagine a bug or hardware glitch that generates an all zero LL result. If memory is zeroed at some point, the next LL iterations are -2, 2, 2, 2, ... 2) My overclocked machine generated an undetected error or the prime95 version I'm using has a bug that is affecting my result. 3) I was debugging an out-of-memory bug report last night. It is theoretically possible there is an OS bug that affects other processes in these severe circumstances. I have save files every million iterations. If this really is a new Mersenne prime, then I'll rerun the last iterations again to make sure the latest prime95 does not have a bug. _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers ------------------------------ End of Mersenne Digest V1 #1073 *******************************
