A date for YOU
A 48 hour Challenge is being offered on PrimeGrid’s Proth Prime Search LLR application.
To participate in the Challenge, please select only the Proth Prime Search project in your PrimeGrid preferences section.
The challenge will begin 14 November 2008 18:00 UTC and end 16 November 2008 18:00 UTC.
Application builds are available for Linux 32 bit and Windows 32 bit.
These applications will be sent to 64 bit clients. (Sent auto nothing to d/l)
As with all LLR application projects, there is no advantage of 64 bit over 32 bit.
ATTENTION: The primality program LLR is CPU intensive; so, it is vital to have a stable system with good cooling.
It does not tolerate "even the slightest of errors." WU’s will take ~2 minutes on fast/newer computers and 4+ minutes on slower/older computers.
If your computer is highly overclocked, please consider "stress testing" it.
Please, please, please make sure your machines are up to the task.
Scoring Information:
Scores will be kept for individuals and teams.
Only work units issued AFTER 14 November 2008 18:00 UTC and received BEFORE 16 November 2008 18:00 UTC will be considered for credit.
We are moving up the PG Challenge table at a steady pace. At the present time the team is in position number 11.
So come on join in Nice fast Wu's for those that like 'em...

Quote from PG:
The Prime Time Challenge nears!
Less than 24 hours remain until the Prime Time Challenge (14-16 November 2008). The initiation process is already warming up as users are attaching to the Proth Prime Search (LLR) in advance of the start. We are approaching the "reportable" level in Chris Caldwell's The Largest Known Primes Database! Come help us reach it and find a prime for yourself.
This Challenge is being offered on PrimeGrid’s Proth Prime Search (LLR) application only.
To participate in the Challenge, please select only the Proth Prime Search (LLR) project in your PrimeGrid preferences section. The challenge will begin 14 November 2008 18:00 UTC and end 16 November 2008 18:00 UTC. Application builds are available for Linux 32 bit and Windows 32 bit. These applications will be sent to 64 bit clients. As with all LLR application projects, there is no advantage of 64 bit over 32 bit.
WU's should take ~2-4 minutes on a fast machine and upwards of ~6-10 minutes on slower machines.
A quorum of 2 is NOT needed to award Challenge score - i.e. no wingman. Therefore, each returned result will earn a Challenge score. Please note that if the result is eventually declared invalid, the score will be removed. Please see first post in this thread for more scoring information.
ATTENTION !!! A friendly reminder to everyone to check their machines to make sure they are stable enough for LLRing. No sense in losing precious CPU time on machines that are not up to par.
The primality program LLR is CPU intensive; so, it is vital to have a stable system with good cooling. It does not tolerate "even the slightest of errors." Please see this post for more details on how you can "stress test" your computer. If your computer is highly overclocked, please consider "stress testing" it. Sieving is an excellent alternative for computers that are not able to LLR.
Challenge Points and BOINC credit (cobblestones) will NOT be granted to invalid results.
Let's get to the "reportable" level and Good Luck in finding a prime!

The start draws near
Again we are in unchartered waters. The server is doing fine, but we have never experienced such a high volume of traffic. It will be interesting to see how the server handles it.
Here's some additional information:
* The web pages may take a very long time to load or even time out. This just means that more resources are being devoted to sending out work. We appreciate your patience.
* On the sever status page, almost all non essential stats will be turned off. The Proth Prime Search (LLR) will remain up and be cached every 15 minutes.
* The server has been configured to "spread the wealth". Meaning...if you have your client set up for a large cache, it will not be filled completely in one request...or even 2 or 3 requests...but eventually it will be filled.
* How can you help create a better start? Lower your cache before the Challenge begins i.e. 1-2 hours worth. Once you see that your cache is full, then you can start upping it slowly to your desired level. This will allow the maximum clients to receive at least some WU's and start crunching. While the clients are crunching, the server can catch up with sending out work.
* Challenge stats can be found on the front page...top right. Top Participants | Top Teams
Best of Luck!

Knew this would happen
Do a challenge on the shortest running subproject they do. (DOH!!!!)
I'm not bothering with the Proth LLR's
I'm just sticking with the PSP Sieve and the Proth Sive.
Loaded up the cache last night with 3 days worth
Mind you they are taking ages to upload or report.
Guess they need a new server *he he*

But we're 1,500,000 behind :(
We're now just(?) 930,251 behind.
Might be worth hanging around on this as, according to BOINCStats we're just 38 days behind BUK. Though TSBT are only 50 days behind us...

Speaking for myself.... Er.... Nomegacruncher wrote:C'mon guys, what sort of loser outlook is that?
Don't assume defeat: at least try to fend us off. You could if you really went for it.
We know when we've got no chance. Our highest ever daily score is 35,000. If Steve is doing over 100,000/day it's just not worth our effort - we'd just be delaying the inevitable.
We'll stand aside and wave admiringly as you shoot past us next week!

We try, some of us succeed, most fail, either way we die & soon get forgotten about.
Get used to it.
As for the world cup; Scots let their stoical fatalist guard down ,just the once in 1978 with Ally MacLeod and "We"ll really shake them up when we win the world cup!" Before and since the Tartan Army's favourite ditty was & has been the, slightly edited Doris Day classic "Que Sera Sera": A useful corrective to unfounded optimism if ever there was one!
Anyhoo if you are really a United Kingdom team, discussions about the uselessness, Soccerwise, of one of your component Kingdoms might not be a successful unifying tactic, even if counter balanced by reference to the poverty of outcomes, despite lots of good players, of another of the components.
Any offended Scottish members of UBT know where they will be welcome! :lol:

Looks like TSBT will overtake today. Be nice everyone - give a cheery wave as they sail past - though they're going so fast they might not see us! :D
