Ah there I was trying to sneak up on the old em99010pepe in NPLB and wham bam thank you ma'm :icon_twisted: he picks 32,677 points out of his ar$e.
Ggrrrr! I'd better put another quad or 6 on it overnight. :icon_rolleyes:
He's not crunching.Quote:

Sorry about the email snafu when I did that.
Carbon error by AMDave.
Vaughan's getting cranky and wants to know if the stats are fixed yet!
Hi LisaD.
Yes. I have fixed it now and the Free-DC stats have just refreshed with the new numbers.
I seem to be having problems setting it up. I install it and change the username to "AMDUsers_gamer007," but when I open llrnet.exe, sometimes nothing happens and the right-clicking on the taskbar icon gives a menu but no text. Other times Llrnet-Remote opens up and says my client is sleeping.
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit. Any solutions?
PM vaughan, he llr'd in Windows 7 I think.
BTW, please make your username 'gamer007'
The team prefix is no longer required for this project.
Sorry gamer007, I was unable to get NPLB to install on my two Windows 7 computers.
EDIT: Well I managed to get it to work. It was the built in Windows Firewall that was blocking the connection. Switched the critter off and its happy now. :)
Decided to try loading NPLB again, and looks like its working. Only minor problem is the right-click menu on the icon has no text for me. Other than that, looks like it's running fine.
How do I make it so I can see all the clients with one llrnet-remote as opposed to each core having one?
EDIT: And how do I go about to joining the team in the project?
Normally you would send an email or PM with your nominated email address to one of the admins so that you get notifications of primes found and also so they can talk to you about any work in progress aside from the posts in the project forum.
(see the forum link under Community in the project site menu)
Then you would post in the "TEAMS: Join a team" thread
http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=10826
However, I can take care of both of those for you.
I have a "user registration" page on the to-do list.
I posted instructions on our forum somewhere about LLR configuration.
I'll dig it up an post back here soon.
(I really should put that on the project site too, duh!)
Yes I get the same phenomenon. I just R click on the NPLB icon somewhere near the top of the vertical rectangle where the text should be and usually manage to get the GUI to appear.Quote:

Good luck
Thanks, Dave.Quote:

this is fixed now in Release 1.0.2.
There is a 2 day rally occurring now in NPLB. Details posted at Free-DC here
Come and join AMDave, Brucifer, Gamer007 and myself. As I write this AMD Users is in 2nd place. :)
Well done gamer007, you have my mark
In my head that sounds like:
AAAAARRG!!!
Major league frustration.
I gotta borg me-self something, fast!
or should that be :
I gotta borg me-self something fast!
And there I was soooo confident.
That is some serious output there Vaughan, what the heck are you runnin?????
67 cores over 29 PCs. From an ASUS 701 eeePC Celeron 900MHz with an Nlited version of XP to a Q9550 with XP 64bit. I couldn't get my sons' I7 920 to run NPLB, it just refuses to play. The other Windows 7 machines both 32 bit and 64 bit run fine.Quote:

It's open season and the fire is ready to cook.
See you here soon.
Yes. Its an expensive hobby. :icon_wink:Quote:

Gents, I have decided to move from team AMD_Users to Raiders of the Lost Primes for all my NPLB work. I spend the majority of my time now sieving and doing the clearing out of the small prime stuff (stuff Gary refers to as sh*t work) where there aren't many points involved. Don't mean to tick people off, just moving to more project behind the scenes clean-up work.
Bruce
Best wishes in your move Brucifer.
I had some PM exchanges with Gary about sieving but I explained I felt I'd sieved enough for the time being with my BOINC Rieselsieve effort. I'm chasing primes now with LLRnet.
Thank you Vaughan, and you take care too! :)Quote:

I would like to announce the first No Prime Left Behind (NPLB) LLRnet rally in over a year on our port 3000 this weekend from Fri. April 30th at 7 PM GMT to Sun. May 2nd at 7 PM GMT.
As many of you may already know, NPLB is searching for primes of the form k*2^n-1. The range that we will be working on is for k=400 to 600 and at rally time, the searches will be in the n=765K to 775K range. This will make any primes found in the top 1000 largest of all time!
We have a new version of the LLRnet client, which runs the newest LLR 3.8. It is 10-15% faster than previous versions of LLRnet.
Please see details about the rally and how to download the fast LLRnet client in our mersennene forum posting announcement at http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpos...93&postcount=1. There are Windows and Linux versions of the client available. Questions can be asked here or there but some have already been asked and answered there.
As a general "how to" for people new to LLRnet, you would download the client found in the links in our forum and create as many copies of it as there are cores on your machine(s). After doing so, you'll need to change the llr-clientconfig.txt file to something similar to the following:
server = "www.noprimeleftbehind.net"
port = 3000
username = "(your ID)"
serviceName = "LLRnet-test1"
WUCacheSize = 1
Vaughan Davies will be participating in the rally and we hope to see other AMD users there also. If you decide to come, be sure and ask us to get you set up on an appropriate team ahead of time. Team Raiders of the Lost Primes (ROLP), consisting of the NPLB admins and a couple of other regulars at Mersenneforum is looking to woop on Free-DC and AMD users. We got BBQ'd by Free-DC the last go around. :-)
Gary Barnes
NPLB admin
Gary,
The line:
serviceName = "LLRnet-test1"
is a new one isn't it? What does it do in the llr-clientconfig.txt file?
I had to pose this question in the NPLB forum. Here is a quote from our co-admin Max:
That's so that LLRnet knows what to name itself in Windows' service registry if you set it up to be autostarted as a service upon system boot. If you use that functionality, I think they have to be unique (no two clients on the same machine with the same serviceName). However, that functionality most definitely does not work with the "new" clients (do.bat/pl). I'm not sure if LLRnet still needs it to be specified in order to run, though.
Hi everyone,
We'd like to have another LLRnet/PRPnet rally at NPLB. It will begin on Friday, June 4th at 7:00 PM GMT and run for 48 hours until Sunday, the 6th at 7:00 PM GMT. It will be run on LLRnet port 3000 and PRPnet 9000 for k=400-600. Tests should be somewhere in the n=800K-850K range during the rally.
LLRnet config info.:
server = "www.noprimeleftbehind.net"
port = 3000
PRPnet config info.:
server = "www.noprimeleftbehind.net"
port = 9000
Or, in terms of a prpclient.ini config line:
server=G9000:100:1:noprimeleftbehind.net:9000
Be sure and change your userID to whatever ID you prefer. It's also best to set the cache at from 2 to 10 pairs.
Info. for downloading the newest LLRnet client can be found at http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=13165.
Info. for downloading the newest PRPnet client can be found at http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=12223.
ROLP topped AMD users last month. Let's see if you guys can give us a good run this month. :-)
Gary
We are not doing so well this last time around... we seem to be last. :icon_rolleyes:
I hope this at least gives out some primes for me to put on our Wiki page. :icon_wink:
I have totally forgotten about this challenge and my machines have loads of Simap tasks cached. This weekend my son has taken over most machines for Folding At Home so it looks as if my eee PC is the only CPU I can put on this.
Is Folding at Home back?
If I remember right we had that project years ago and I ran it if I not rave ant then it wes closed. I liked this project and a fem other easy to run project.
Lagu:)
Folding@Home never stopped, and in fact it's stronger than ever by using Playstation 3's and GPU's. :)
It's probably the project with the biggest amount of people and machines and raw processing power ever right now. Even more than SETI I believe.
Yup, and with a low cost gpu like a GTS-250 you can get quite an output from it. Makes it easy to contribute a substantial number of work units nowdays. The project has really moved into it's very own substantial galazy. :-)
As for the prime searching efforts, I have backed off. It would be nice if some enterprising soul would write some fancy stuff to allow the use of gpu's in the prime searching world. But until it happens I doubt I'll be back.
NPLB has a faster client now. Details on the official web site.
Thanks Neogen!
Now i remember. It was when they went ower for use of Playstation and I had not that thing home and was not planning to buy one. I´m not a player and if I my memore not is wrong I was expensive.

Hi everyone,
Based on comments provided after our last rally, we've decided to try something new this time: a week-long rally! :biggrin: We figured that if people are going to go to all the trouble of moving their cores over to the rally servers, why do it all over again to take them back off in only 48 hours? PrimeGrid has done week-long rallies in the past with success, so it's not an entirely new idea; we're hoping it will go over well here too.
The rally will begin Thursday, August 12 at 7:00 PM GMT and finish 168 hours later on Thursday, August 19 at 7:00 PM GMT. For those of you who can't convert GMT to local time :icon_wink:, that's 3:00 PM EDT and 2:00 PM CDT. Last time we had to do crazy stuff with PRPnet port 9000 since LLRnet reports local time and PRPnet GMT, but since then PRPnet has been changed to report local time as well, so the official start/end times should be pretty straightforward.
As last time, this rally will be focusing on the 5th Drive, our priority for the rest of the year (or until we finish it to n=1M, which will hopefully come first). That means LLRnet port 3000 and PRPnet port 9000, both of which should be in the vicinity of n=850K-900K during the rally.
LLRnet config info.:
server = "www.noprimeleftbehind.net"
port = 3000
PRPnet config info.:
server = "www.noprimeleftbehind.net"
port = 9000
Or, in terms of a prpclient.ini config line:
server=G9000:100:1:noprimeleftbehind.net:9000
Be sure and change your userID to whatever ID you prefer. Most people use their ID here at mersenneforum. It is also best to set the cache at from around 2 to 10 pairs.
Info. for downloading the newest LLRnet client can be found at LLRnet supports LLR V3.8! (LLRnet2010 V0.73L).
Info. for downloading the newest PRPnet client can be found at PRPnet.
As a point of interest for those who might be new to NPLB and for others who haven't done any testing with us for a while, we have some milestones that we would like to shoot for in the near future. Please refer to our primes graph and drive progress as well as to our "Countdown meter". NPLB's goal all along has been to fill in holes in the prime search ranges for Riesel base 2. We'd like to get the dots in that k=300-1001 range fully extended to n=1M by year end 2011 so that they are closer to where k<300 (worked by RPS) is at. In targeting k=400-600 for the 3rd consecutive time in this rally, we have set a relatively aggressive goal to have it tested completely to n=1M by year end 2010.
Last time we had a very close race between ROLP and PrimeSearchTeam, the latter ending up winning by a mere 194 k/n pairs. :shocked: We also had participation from both AMD Users and Team-Goobee.org, coming in 3rd and 4th place respectively. Let's see if we can shake things up a bit this time! :)
Max :)
P.S.: This is mostly copy-and-pasted from our official rally announcement at http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=13672. Feel free to post questions in both places.
^^BUMP^^ he he he
It's on the list of challenges for this month.. let's hope the guys don't forget about it. :)
GIDDYAP!
6.9 days to go.
