Another New Release 2.0.5.1

[gatekeeper53]

Everyone needs to check your profile and see if you are on the most current release. Remember that if you aren't running the current version that you won't recieve "Bonus Points" since you recieve more bonus points than regular points it is very important to keep up with the new versions. On this update I had no trouble at all updating and zero lost data. If you have problems just email me an I'll be more than happy to help all I can. gatekeeper53@yahoo.com

[Beerknurd]

I hope this is the last update for a while... I am glad I only have 2 machines... :icon_lol:

I feel sorry for that Egon fellow... :icon_twisted:

[gatekeeper53]

I hope he has at least one more because the amount of numbers being run through seems to remain the same but the processing time looks to have gone from 8 hours to 12 hours.

[Beerknurd]

Isn't that why he gives us bonus points?? I thought he implemented that because the WU's were going to be longer...??

"New units for complete test are 10x larger and in periodical test 1,5x larger. If You use actual version (from v.2.0), you will get bonus points for every finished unit!"

[gatekeeper53]

Here is the reply I got wuth the question at the bottom,


Hi Terry

Yes, that's right. Units are larger. 10x for complete test and 1.5x larger for periodical test. Periodical test contains now a new test for searching Near-Wieferich primes too (Near-Wieferich primes searched complete test in older version only). We searching up to 3500 bits, these are very big numbers. Your computer working with these primes in periodical test (this could be one from them --> an example with same length):

This is one number!

And there is easy and in practice very exacting calculation described here: http://www.elmath.org/index.php?id=display_topic&topic=4 (http://www.elmath.org/index.php?id=display_topic&topic=4) (try to put this number to p variable).

One unit of periodical test contains about 40 000 tests and does it take any time.

Version 2.0 and bonus points, which can quickly your increase member's score, eliminate time difference and rates member's activity (using current version).

For our current work is important using version 2.0. New algorithms working with version 2.0 great and very quickly and getting us more results.

Thank you for your quickly reaction.

Thank You for your team...

Jan

You can be sure, version 2.0 is very efficient

Terry Bond napsal(a):

Hi Jan,

Am I wrong or have the run times for the work units gone way up. It seems the they were running in about 8 hours on this machine and that has now increased to more than 12 hours.


Terry Bond

[Beerknurd]

I guess more points for longer WU's... Makes sense to me... :)

Another new release

[Danish Dynamite]

i am guessing that you do not use the update feature with program ? which is what i done and i lost data and now have an extra 2 clients according to elmath stats

[gatekeeper53]

DD The way I do it is
1. Kill the running clients
2. download the new app and just let it overwrite the existing app when it askes
3. run the install and just keep hittin continue till the last screen where I uncheck the start the app box (unless it's a single core then I just let it run)
4. For my duals I then go to the "Launcher" and start the app

[Danish Dynamite]

well sounds like i did evreyting backwards lol

[gatekeeper53]

Think of the Launcher as a JCL packet (duh I'm old lol) and the app as batch jobs. The launcher is unchanging and the app is started as many times as needed by the launcher. All you really update is the software for the app.

[Lagu]

I got a popup message about the new client so I did as you have mentoined Gatekeeper53 and it worked fine.

But what is new? Have he fixed a few bugs or have he improved the time of a finiched work? On their homepage he have not said anyting. I can see the process isn´t faster rather the same.

Lagu:)

[gatekeeper53]

I have no idea what has changed. If anything it seems slower.

[Danish Dynamite]

Lagu:)

i have had a litle play around with new app seems like these some multi threading or something going on, one version of main.exe running will use upto about 98% of cpu of dual core then i tried it on phenom and will use 50% of cpu ie 2 cores

ps terry i followed your instructions, i now have 16 clients installed lol is there some way to merge clients with this project ?

[Lagu]

On my Intel C2D one core use 50% IE. 100% and the second one 46-50% IE. 96-100% somthing. Having 2 cores they not chow 100% only 50% each. In the reality they use 100 or lesser percent.

Lagu:icon_wink:

[Lagu]

Terry, I did notice your main.exe not is of current date. The current version is 2.0.6.1.

Perhaps you know that and choose to not update?

[gatekeeper53]

Welllll we had a lightning strike that took out 7 of my puters. And my ISP (who I had had to much trouble from already) So I spent the last 2 weeks working on getting a better uplink. I worked out a deal with the local cable company to get use of their connection. All I had to do was run a cable to where their system passes on the county road (about 2/3 of a mile from my house) and they put in a junction so I could connect. I had to buy and bury almost 4,000 feet of coax that was swept to 3Gh and I now have 6Mb service, up from about 1.5 Mb. Now all I need to do is to get some computers up and running. Since I turned in 5 that a storm got 2 years ago I have decided to just slowly rebuild at my own expense rather than have my insurance bill go up. For the time being I think I'll just run Majestic12 for awhile as 1 or 2 machines just won't make that much difference. I'm waiting on parts for 3 more (no upgrades just getting the ones up that are the cheapest right now) In a month or 2 I plan on sitting down and building some quads. I just got up on the net on Thursday and everything is still calming down. Read the "wife" is calming down. lol Her machine took the worst of it and lost cpu, MB, PS, both hard drives, so at least she still has a case and strangely the ram seems to be fine lol. Her laptop was plugged in and it lost the HD and charger. Of the 4 4800+'s in the house mine is the only one still running. We also lost 3 TV's, the refrigerator, both of the kids tv's and stereos and several game systems, the washer and dryer, and all the breakers in the main box. It all came to over $15,000 so the puters are getting sacrificed to buy upgraded models of everything else. The speed test below is with Majestic12 running I was hitting over 8,000 last night.

[Danish Dynamite]

oh geeze
sorry to hear of your losses

[Bender10]

Thanks for the update. Sounds like your family is ok. That's good news.

[vaughan]

We were worried for you Terry. Saw the news footage of storms and floods in your region of the US on the television, some amazing fury of Mother Nature for sure :)

Its good to here that you are safe and well on the way to crunching your way forward. Can you claim insurance for the damage that occurred? Or does the insurer wriggle out of the claim somehow?

Wieferich is missing you. :icon_wink:

[Ototero]

Welcome back.

With $15,000 of loses, I'd call the Insurance company.

As others have said, at least you're ok.

[Frederic Brillouet]

Welcome back Terry, good to know you're allright. I agree with Stuart: the insurance company needs to do what its paid for.

[Nflight]

Welcome Back Gatekeeper53, with 13 inches of Rain most of us thought you floated down to the next county, or took up scuba diving like others in your area. Glad to see you survived. Amazing story you just told! It was not your fault the lightning struck the house I would call the insurance company and get your financial worth from those yearly payments you made. :)

Thats to bad Terry, I hope everything is ok with you and your family also that you get your puters up and running again soon. I put $25,000 of Insurance on mine a few years ago, don't really know if that would cover them all but if they would just give me the money I could probably rebuild them for that amount ... :icon_neutral:

[BlackAdder]

Wow...what a horror story, I've had lightning strikes very close too, but not THAT much damage. We had a mini tornado blow through my end of town last fall and a lot of neighbors lost their roofs and suffered a lot of vinyl siding damage as did we, I only had like $4,500 damage to everything... we were lucky. Wish you good luck getting everything rebuilt...and the others are right about the insurance as you know, when you file a claim they always seem to get it back with rate increases !!Done it to us every time. :)

[Lagu]

Welcome back Terry!

I can´t understand how mych damege you got. If we gets a circuit brake here no damage is done on any of my computers or any electrical machines. Is there a difference between Sveden and USA?

Lagu:)

[Brucifer]

Welcome back Terry, good to know you're allright. I agree with Stuart: the insurance company needs to do what its paid for.

Sigh..... yes, that is what first comes to ones mind. However from personal experience, that isn't necessarily the way you want to go in real life. Once upon a time I lived in a house in a much wetter part of the country and one day in the middle of a huge downpour, it seems that an outside electrical connector (UL certified water-proofed type) somehow shorted out, and started a fire. Did about 60,000 US worth of damage to the place. The insurer was one of the major companies in the US market. The house had been build following all the rules, codes, etc., and had passed all required inspections during the building. Well after all was said and done, yes, the insurance company paid for the damage, however they also cancelled out the policy saying that the house was not the type of house they cared to insure as it wasn't up to their standards........... even though all permits, inspections, etc., were in compliance and all. Just their way of cancelling out a policy, and then of course that goes against your record in the big insurance databank in the sky which causes your rates to go up with no matter who you insure with.

Being a poor sailor at the time I didn't have the bucks to rebuild my house without the insurance claim. But after that little experience in my lifetime, for a hit of $15,000 (as in Terry's case) I would just eat it and rebuild out of my own pocket. Dealing with "real property" aka houses, it just isn't the same as taking a claim on your auto insurance. So I fully understand where Terry is at and what he is talking about.

US is different in insuring indeed (I noticed that in the movie "Sicko" by Michael More). You also have the rediculous lawsuit claims, while here in Europe that just doesnt work. Good ol' US again I see.

[gatekeeper53]

Thanks Guys. Most of it will be covered by insurance, in talking to my agent he let me know that the company I am insured with has an "unwritten" policy that anything over $15,000 brings a rather large increase in premiums . So we are trying to keep the claim in the 14,000 to 14,500 range. Therefore if I leave off the computers we should get by with a minimal increase. The large amount of damage was due to the lightning striking the weatherhead (the pipe that goes up from the main breaker panel through the roof) and frying everything in it's path. That pipe has been replaced with and underground connection now. It's not really so bad at least it didn't fry the generator that I had installed last summer and no one was in the least bit injured. The thing is that until we get everything back in place my hobby (read obsession) is having to take a back seat till we see for sure where we stand. The worst that can happen is that Jen will feel sorry for me and let me build some new quads. So I'll just limp along and enjoy what puters I can patch together for awhile. Once everything is replaced and momma is happy I can turn the screws! lol God I love my NewEgg credit card!!! In a couple of months I plan on trying to wear it out.

[sentient_life]

I know you could not have covered everything, but would surge protectors have helped cut down some of the loss -- at least your computers and TVs?

[gatekeeper53]

Surge protectors are great for a surge. But, lightning is more than most anything that can be called a surge. There are places 30 feet from my breaker box that the sheathing is melted off of the 12-2 wiring in the wall. No surge protector made can withstand that type of voltage and amperage. But thanks for the thought.
