George releases numbers that got serious computational errors where
it is highly probable that the result is wrong in the
first LL to a new LL before double checking.

If your overclocked machine miscalculates a number that is really
prime we wont know about it for a couple of years until the
double-checking reaches the number. That would be sad both for you
and for the project. For you since you missed the prime and for the
project since quite a few people

If we put 2 cents for every computer in GIMPS we would get $600

You can change the time during calculations.
The only thing that happens then is that you get a really big
negative number as the calculation time on the next iteration.
Then it's back to normal.
If you turn prime95 off and on it will start where you stopped.

Are there plans for making mprime and prime95 capable of using 64bit
processors like IA64 and AMD Sledgehammer?
I know that these processors are able to run 32 bit code but will
there be a 64bit optimized version of mprime/prime95?

Hi all.
Anyone know when the next sync will be?
My list of cleared exponents is growing very big

That doesn't work either.
Webattack only links to the firedaemon site...
I guess we'll have to wait.

When I try to get the Firedaemon program I get to a

Does anyone know what they are up to?
Are they updating the site or ar they bankrupt or

Hi everyone.
Have any of you been running mprime under Solaris
8?
I'm thinking of installing that but I want to be
sure that mprime works flawlessly..
Happy hunting!

Have you tried any other resource-intensive apps?
If you get the reboots results with other apps (like seti) then you have a
definite heat-problem or perhaps a memory-flaw.

Hi there mohk.
I've soon been with the project for 2.5 years and there has always been a
choice to set if you want primenet to choose a job for you or if you want to
do LL, doublechecking or factoring. v19? added the option of 10 million digit
LL:s too.
You can find the settings under Primene

I think it's about time we find a new prime...
The list is so quiet now.

You don't have to know much at all to run that.
Three chapters should be enough.. ;)

I found no performance difference _at all_ between using the one

If anyone is interested I added this line to the inittab file:

where /mersenne is my 30MB dedicated prime-partition...Just to be a

This works great! :)

Hi everyone.
I have request for help.
I run mprime on Linux.
What I want to do is to have mprime automatically start when I boot
and send the -m output to a tty or something like that. Perhaps tty8?
Is this possible??
Happy hunting, all!

All You have to do is change your cpu settings in Options->CPU
and select "Request whatever type of work makes the most sense" in
Test->Primenet.
That will get you LL tests for sure.

reassign that exponent for myself.
