Got up noticed that 1 computer finally finished all the U5 cases. So I posted them.
that wasn't the orignal idea, if it hadn't been for one case taking 7 hrs to do, I would have had it out there already. I have two coputers going at it. One does all the 431 then 777; the other does all the 777 then the 431. Hopefully they meet int he middle somewhere and I can merge the results together and post in 2/3 the time (one machine is faster). But I fell asleep so one did all the work after I stopped the other one, since there was only one case left. I started running the U6 on two computers this way. 7 cases there, so 14 runs. They should meet in the middle in 4 hrs or so. Do note however that U6 and T6 cases are inverse of each other... running these seems a little redundent, but I think Chris wants me to do them anyways. With U-Orientation done, I'll go back and re-do U1 and all the T cases just to have them in case we need them and for completeness value. I have one more final exam left. Hopefully then I can start posting H1 alg, followed by some U2, some Pi1, some S1.... in that order... -Doug --- In [email protected], "Doug Lee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > So..
