The March to the Solstice
Come join the March to the Solstice (24 Nov - 19 Dec). We'll be pushing PPS (LLR) as far along as possible before the final Challenge of the year, the Winter Solstice Challenge (19 Dec - 22 Dec). We have established intermediate goals for PPS (LLR) and are within striking distance of completing them (excluding k=3) by the end of year 2011.
Proth Prime Search Update
k=3 to 25M is ongoing in the 321 Prime Search (currently at n=7505609)
k=5 to 5M (currently at n=3M)
k=7 to 4M (currently at n=3M)
k=9 to 3M (currently at n=3M)
10<k<32 to 2.5M (currently at n=2.5M)
32<k<100 to 2M (currently at n=2M)
100<k<500 to 1.5M ongoing (currently at n=1M)
500<k<1200 to 1.3M (currently at n=1.3M)
1200<k<4000 to 800K ongoing (currently at n=710k)
4000<k<10000 to 725K ongoing (currently at n=710k) This by no means is a "walk in the park". :) It will take a concentrated and sustained effort to reach these goals. A by-product of this effort will be the most complete and organized proth prime collection in the world… hint: it already is but this just pushes the envelope once again. ;)
The final Challenge of 2011 is on the PPS (Sieve) application. The current range is from 3M<n<6M. n<3M was completed earlier this year…sieved to p=100P. We are now working our way through this range with primality testing (LLRing). This March to the Solstice will be a nice "segue" into the Challenge…exhausting one range while preparing for the next. :)
There are still plenty of primes to go around both in the 100<k<500 and 1200<k<4000 ranges. Also, we are still hoping for one or two high value primes in the k=5 & 7 ranges. To participate, simply check the Proth Prime Search (LLR) application in your PrimeGrid preferences.
Best of Luck to everyone!!! And have a Happy Holiday Season!

Switching over 100% now, as soon as some other project WUs work their way through. Can't resist the chance of more top5000 primes :) |

Hell i got two primes in the last two days!
Switched on another i5-2400 for ppsLLR to crunch away WUs until the start of the next challenge. |

My preferences are set to accept only PPS(LLR).
"CPU" and "CUDA" both checked for that subproject, but "Use CPU" is unchecked above...only "Use NVIDIA GPU" is checked on my GPU rig.
I'm guessing that the beta CUDA WU's are running out as more people sic their GPUs onto them. |

I was under the impression that GPU LLR WU's aren't yet available via BOINC, despite the selection being available on the website.

This is true. It's for testing purposes only...not yet ready for general use.

Ah, got it. Thanks for the clarification. I've now read to the bottom of the llrCUDA testing thread and I'm all caught up now.

So am I. I did the exact same thing you did, only to find out llrCUDA isn't quite ready yet. That's when I discovered that PrimeGrid DOES have something called GeneferCUDA running over on the PRPNet side of the house.
As it turned out, that worked out spectacularly well for me.
If you feel like hunting for primes with your GPU, you can do so right now on the GFN252164 and GFN524288 ports.
GFN252164 takes about 90 minutes per WU and is testing numbers about 1.45 million digits long.
GFN524288 takes about 5 hours per WU and is testing numbers about 2.5 million digits long.
Times are for a GTX460 with stock clocks.

The March to the Solstice - UPDATE
We'll attempt to do regular updates to see how progress is advancing and how close we're coming to the end of year goal. Only remaining goals will be listed.
Proth Prime Search Update
k=5 to 5M (currently at n=3M)
k=7 to 4M (currently at n=3M)
100<k<500 to 1.5M ongoing (trailing edge n=1005938; leading edge n=1093497)
1200<k<4000 to 800K ongoing (trailing edge n=723996; leading edge n=725k)
4000<k<10000 to 725K ongoing (trailing edge n=723748; leading edge n=725k) The current active range is 100<k<500 to 1.5M.
Not sure how often updates are planned, but it'd be nice to see them more often than not just to see how progress is going. Plus its good to see what we're on track of doing by the Solstice.

It's not nicely combined like John's summary, but you can find all of the raw progress information here.

Progress updates will happen every few days or so. However, for minute by minute updates, Michael's suggestion of the Proth Prime Search statistics is the place to look.

Thanks! I actually forgot that we had stats like that by sub-project. Very useful. Anyways, I'm happy to be contributing to the March to the Solstice! :-)

On the PRPnet ports I am crunching proths at n=290k. As PG is at a much highter n am I just rediscovering primes or does PG just start at a higher n range?

PrimeGrid originally searched k<1200. That work has been completed up to n~1.1M. Later, the range was extended to 1200<k<10000. It is this range that is currently in PRPNet. Current untested ranges are as follows:
PPS 1200<k<10000 GAPS
200k<n<360k
363k<n<380k
384k<n<450k
at n=450k, PPSElow will close. This will mean that all work n<725k for k<10k will be complete. A nice milestone to reach will be n<1M for k<10k...however, that's still many years away.
NOTE: It is impractical to put PPSElow work into BOINC due to the short testing times. The server has its hands full with the 10 minute PPS (Sieve) tasks and would probably crumble under the stress that 1 minute tasks would present. :)

Scott,
That was also my first thought. Then I thought about the details.
Getting the client to accept and process the bundle is relatively trivial. It should require nothing more complicated than modifying the BOINC wrapper, and I suspect even that would be unnecessary. LLR is most likely reading its input from a file, so all that's necessary is to put multiple tests inside the file. Everything else, on the client side, would probably work without modification.
The harder part is on the server side. It's not just the bundling and unbundling relating to serving the tasks to the clients that has to change. It's everything in the server that happens after that which will get complicated.
All the task display pages will need to change.
Task validation has to radically change. I'm not even sure how you go about arranging comparing residuals, and validating tasks, when you have 10 residuals per task. That's the part that gets really non-trivial and would require a bit of thought before implementation.
Can that problem be solved? Of course, anything has a solution. Making groups of 10 tests atomic would do it, but then every time one LLR fails (or one residual doesn't match), the whole bunch of 10 has to get sent out again. Not the worst problem, but not exactly desireable either.
Mike

Tip of the iceberg and on the right path. But yes, anything is possible given enough complexity. However, PRPNet is handling PPSElow quite nicely and should be complete within a year or so. Therefore, there's no great desire to move it to BOINC right now.
OFF TOPIC: What would be more interesting is to bring the GFN Prime Search to BOINC. The possibilities and rewards from that search surpass that of PPSElow (although a Fermat divisor is pretty special and rare). Finding Top 10 primes in relatively "good" testing times using the GPU is definitely achievable...even the chance at a World Record Largest prime.
A native BOINC build of geneferCUDA would make this happen...but first, we have a good deal of sieving to do. ;) Anyone interested in helping out, please see here: GFN Sieve Information (available to Windows 64 bit only).

The March to the Solstice - UPDATE
One goal completed today...in green.
Proth Prime Search Update
k=5 to 5M (currently at n=3M)
k=7 to 4M (currently at n=3M)
100<k<500 to 1.5M ongoing (trailing edge n=1012762; leading edge n=1172455)
1200<k<4000 to 800K (currently at n=725k)
4000<k<10000 to 725K (currently at 725k) The current active range is 100<k<500 to 1.5M.
NOTE: There are some active ranges in the 1.2M-1.5M range reserved at Proth Search. Therefore, at n=1.2M we will switch to 1200<k<4000 and take it to 750k. This will allow the Proth Search reservations more time to complete. We'll review the status again at 750k and go from there.

I am still at 0.0203% - that is 1:4926.
But with the current 6.11/6.12 app we would need longer to reach the goal since lots of WUs are trashed. |

Thanks Roadrunner. That fits with my overall odds. I just wonder about the effect of bigger numbers and better sieving.
Actually it is been ages since I found a prime and I can't cope with the randomness of prime finding!

The march is going strong and we're making good progress. There's 14 days till the solstice and we look to possibly reach another goal...leaving the remaining three goals for after the Challenge. Therefore, now is no time to sit back and relax...there's plenty of work to do before then.
Please spread the word as more help is ALWAYS welcomed. Thank you and have a Happy Holiday Season!!! :)

100<k<500 to 1.5M ongoing (trailing edge n=1121802; leading edge n=1.2M)
1200<k<4000 to 800K ongoing (trailing edge n=725190; leading edge n=751914) The current active range is 1200<k<4000 to 800K.
NOTE: There are some active ranges in the 1.2M-1.5M range reserved at Proth Search. Therefore, at n=1.2M we will switch to 1200<k<4000 and take it to 750k. [UPDATE: loaded to 775k] This will allow the Proth Search reservations more time to complete. We'll review the status again at 775k and go from there.

The March to the Solstice - UPDATE
There's 8 days till the solstice. We still need a lot more help if we wish to complete all of these goals by the end of the year.
In preparation for the upcoming Winter Solstice Challenge, after 775k is reached with the current range, we'll be switching to k=5 & 7 from 3M to 4M. This should lower the stress on the server considerably.
Please spread the word as more help is ALWAYS welcomed. Thank you and have a Happy Holiday Season!!! :)

FYI...in the next few hours, 1200<k<4000 will reach n=775k. We will enter the k=5,7 for 3M<n<4M range next. Expect testing times to jump considerably. This will reduce the server load quite a bit in preparation for the upcoming Winter Solstice Challenge.

The March to the Solstice - UPDATE
There's 5 days till the solstice. We have entered into the k=5 & 7 from 3M to 4M range. Before there's any celebration about a new prime, one was sent out. 7*2^3015762+1 is prime and was found in 2008. Our apologies.
k=5 is a DC effort for the entire range and k=7 is DC to 3.7M. NOTE: The last prime found for k=5 was at n=1777515. It's been eerily primeless since then compared to the other k's<10.
Please spread the word as more help is ALWAYS welcomed. Thank you and have a Happy Holiday Season!!! :)

NOTE: There are some active ranges in the 1.2M-1.5M range reserved at Proth Search. This will be delayed to allow the Proth Search reservations more time to complete.

The March to the Solstice - UPDATE
This must be some kind of record...we blew right through k=5,7 3M-4M and have now entered 4M-5M. A snafu in loading the next range allowed k=7 to also be included. Therefore, we'll be taking both k=5 & 7 to 5M. This will weaken our chances of finishing the goals by the end of the year.
We are doing our best to remain optimistic. The Winter Solstice Challenge is just a day away so we expect to see resources move there. However, we hope many of the CPU's stick around afterwards to do a final push to the end of the year.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this effort. The final push is now in place over in the The Last Days of 2011
