Welcome to Shakespeare's Birthday Challenge
William Shakespeare is one of the worlds best known English language wordsmiths in the true sense of the word. He has not only written many plays and poems which are still well known, almost 400 years after his passing, but he has also added a lot of new words to the English language. 1700 words would now have seemed strange bedfellows in the English language, had it not been for him.
To honour this linguistic pioneer, PrimeGrid is offering a 3 day challenge on its Proth Prime Search (LLR) application in the run up to the day of his passing. PPS EXTENDED is not part of the challenge!
To participate in the Challenge, please select only the Proth Prime Search (LLR) project in your PrimeGrid preferences section. The challenge will begin 20 April 2014 16:16 UTC and end 23 April 2014 16:16 UTC. Application builds are available for Linux , Windows and MacIntel 32 bit and 64 bit. CPU's with AVX capabilities will be significantly faster than the ones without, as this instruction set allows for more computing power.
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." Please see this post for more details on how you can "stress test" your computer. WU's will take ~20 minutes on the fastest/newest computers and 2+ hours on slower/older computers. If your computer is highly overclocked, please consider "stress testing" it. Sieving is an excellent alternative for computers that are not able to LLR. :)
Highly overclocked Haswell (i.e., Intel Core i7, i5, and i3 -4xxx) computers running the application will see fastest times. Note that PPS is now running the latest, brand new FMA3 version of LLR which takes full advantage of the new Haswell features. It's faster than the previous LLR app and draws more power and produces more heat. The new FMA3 LLR app is version 6.24. If you have a Haswell CPU, especially if it's overclocked or has overclocked memory, and haven't run the new FMA3 LLR before, we strongly suggest running it before the challenge while you are monitoring the temperatures.
Please, please, please make sure your machines are up to the task.
Time zone converter:
The World Clock - Time Zone Converter
NOTE: The countdown clock on the front page uses the host computer time. Therefore, if your computer time is off, so will the countdown clock. For precise timing, use the UTC Time in the data section to the left of the countdown clock.
Scoring Information
Scores will be kept for individuals and teams. Only work units issued AFTER 20 April 2014 16:16 UTC and received BEFORE 23 April 2014 2014 16:16 UTC will be considered for credit. We will use the same scoring method as for BOINC credit. The only difference is that the primary and double checker of a WU will receive the same score.
Therefore, each completed WU will earn a unique score based on its n value. The higher the n, the higher the score. This is different than BOINC cobblestones! A quorum of 2 is NOT needed to award Challenge score - i.e. no double checker. Therefore, each returned result will earn a Challenge score. Please note that if the result is eventually declared invalid, the score will be removed.
For details on how the score is calculated, please see this thread.
At the Conclusion of the Challenge
We kindly ask users "moving on" to ABORT their WU's instead of DETACHING, RESETTING, or PAUSING.
ABORTING WU's allows them to be recycled immediately; thus a much faster "clean up" to the end of an LLR Challenge. DETACHING, RESETTING, and PAUSING WU's causes them to remain in limbo until they EXPIRE. Therefore, we must wait until WU's expire to send them out to be completed.
Please consider either completing what's in the queue or ABORTING them. Thank you. :)
About the Proth Prime Search
The Proth Prime Search is done in collaboration with the Proth Search project. This search looks for primes in the form of k*2^n+1. With the condition 2^n > k, these are often called Proth primes. This project also has the added bonus of possibly finding factors of "classical" Fermat numbers or Generalized Fermat numbers. As this requires PrimeFormGW (PFGW) (a primality-testing program), once PrimeGrid finds a prime, it is then tested on PrimeGrid's servers for divisibility.
Proth Search only searches for k<1200. PrimeGrid created an extension to that which includes all candidates 1200<k<10000 for n<5M. It is this extension which we call PPSE that the Challenge will be on.
Initially, PrimeGrid's PPS project's goal was to double check all previous work up to n=500K for odd k<1200 and to fill in any gaps that were missed. We have accomplished that now and have increased it to n=2M. PG's LLRNet searched up to n=200,000 and found several missed primes in previously searched ranges. Although primes that small did not make it into the Top 5000 Primes database, the work was still important as it may have led to new factors for "classical" Fermat numbers or Generalized Fermat numbers. While there are many GFN factors, currently there are only 293 "classical" Fermat number factors known. Current primes found in PPS definitely make it into the Top 5000 Primes database.
For more information about "Proth" primes, please visit these links:
About Proth Search
The Proth Search project was established in 1998 by Ray Ballinger and Wilfrid Keller to coordinate a distributed effort to find Proth primes (primes of the form k*2^n+1) for k < 300. Ray was interested in finding primes while Wilfrid was interested in finding divisors of Fermat number. Since that time it has expanded to include k < 1200. Mark Rodenkirch (aka rogue) has been helping Ray keep the website up to date for the past few years.
Early in 2008, PrimeGrid and Proth Search teamed up to provide a software managed distributed effort to the search. Although it might appear that PrimeGrid is duplicating some of the Proth Search effort by re-doing some ranges, few ranges on Proth Search were ever double-checked. This has resulted in PrimeGrid finding primes that were missed by previous searchers. By the end of 2008, all new primes found by PrimeGrid were eligible for inclusion in Chris Caldwell's Prime Pages Top 5000. Sometime in 2009, over 90% of the tests handed out by PrimeGrid were numbers that have never been tested.
PrimeGrid intends to continue the search indefinitely for Proth primes.
What is LLR?
The Lucas-Lehmer-Riesel (LLR) test is a primality test for numbers of the form N = k*2^n − 1, with 2^n > k. Also, LLR is a program developed by Jean Penne that can run the LLR-tests. It includes the Proth test to perform +1 tests and PRP to test non base 2 numbers. See also:
(Edouard Lucas: 1842-1891, Derrick H. Lehmer: 1905-1991, Hans Riesel: born 1929).[/b]

Highly overclocked Sandy Bridge computers running the latest llrAVX application will see faster times.
This is doubly true for this challenge. We will be installing the new FMA3 version of LLR for PPS before the challenge starts. If you have a Haswell CPU, you will see increased performance. That means you'll also see increased power consumption and increased temperatures.

Here is some on sandy bridge, I was doing some o/c testing, and I had data for both FMA3 and AVX llr.
Here is the link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Al82zYC0E824dEd5X20ybTZtbGhzb1Y4TmUzMlFfV0E&usp=sharing#gid=0
All tests were done on an Intel i5-2500k, 8gb RAM, running all 4 cores. Should be fairly accurate.

Now that the Haswell FMA3 enabled LLR app is live for PPS, I've modified the warning in the introduction:
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." Please see this post for more details on how you can "stress test" your computer. WU's will take ~20 minutes on the fastest/newest computers and 2+ hours on slower/older computers.

Just to be clear...
If I see "PPS (LLR) v6.24" as the version, I'm running the latest AVX build?
thanks.

Strategies for starting the Challenge
Depending on a variety of factors, different strategies work for different users. Here are just a few to consider:
- large farm, user can be present at start
-Set Computer is connected to the Internet about every to 0 days
-Set Maintain enough work for an additional to 0 days
-Change PrimeGrid preferences to a fast WU project such as PPSE (LLR)
-At Challenge start, update PrimeGrid preferences and only select the PPS (LLR) project
-At worse, you'll only be 1 PPSE (LLR) WU late on each core starting the Challenge.
-After all machines have work, increase Maintain enough work for an additional buffer
- large farm, user NOT able to be present at start
-Same connection settings as above
-At earliest access to hosts after start, switch to the PPS (LLR) project
-Or, for a short project such as PPS (LLR), just switch to PPS (LLR) before the project start and leave it there.
- a few computers, user can be present at start
-Change PrimeGrid preferences and only select the PPS (LLS) project
-Set computers to "No New Tasks" for PrimeGrid
-At Challenge Start, update computers to "Allow New Tasks"
- a few computers, user NOT able to be present at start
-same settings as "large farm, user NOT able to be present at start"
NOTE: This presumes you have all other BOINC projects suspended.

Whether 'tis nobler in the GPU to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous factors, or to take LLRs against a sea of candidates, and by opposing end them?

If your queue is low enough, most of their work will be counted. But you might want to abort any WUs downloaded before the start of the challenge.

They will automatically be in the challenge.
But, if you have a large amount of workunits already downloaded before the start of the challenge, they will NOT count. Only workunits downloaded and started after the official start of the challenge are counted. |

You may be surprised. Some users have SLOW machines and some build up a cache of work and return it at their leisure (I know the project has it set to automatically return, but some people turn off Network communications until they want to deposit the work and get new).
Good luck.

Hi all
I just wanted to clarify the "participation" qualification.
I have a 6 core i-7 4960X with two GTX780s, a 4 core i-7 2700k Sandy Bridge with two 650TIs and a 4 core i-7 haswell laptop with a GTX765M running only the PPS LLR 6.24s to help the challenge (normally SOB and some other things which are suspended/not taking work) but dont want to deselect the PPS sieves on those cards to officially "participate." Everything running modestly overclocked and watercooled (laptop not watercooled)
Is the statement about selecting only PPS LLR in preferences to participate in the Challenge mean that that is for best results to win or place, or does it mean that it wont officially recognize me if I have something else selected too? A followup question would be Could I have another cpu subproject as well?(dont want to at the moment) Not worried about winning or whatever but would like to get credit for participation if I can do the work (missed first three hours or so ><) and could probably place decently.
I should do ok with those 3 computers running in the Challenge but dont want to turn off 5 good GPUs for 3 days just to "qualify."
Probably been asked before and sorry for that.
Cheers and happy crunching
Edit: lolz. now i am on the list so i guess that answers that.

It's perfectly ok to run the GPUs, and you can also run other CPU projects if you wish. You don't get penalized or disqualified for running other projects.

Explain that to me: 10 hours I got no task and now as I started some other task I got 3 PPS (LLR) tasks.
I stopped other taks, but if I restart them, I got new PPS. But I told PrimGrid to send me new tasks.... |

Hi there,
I believe BOINC does not download any tasks for a project for which you have paused/stopped tasks. It seems the only way out, is to delete all competing non-Shakespearean PrimeGrid tasks. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ok, but then I lose work for competing in a challenge... |

Do not abort tasks that ahve already started. Let them complete but also set your preferences to just accept PPS LLR, unticking the rest. Eventually it'll work itself out. |
|
|
|
|
|
I think it would make most sense if you would get new tasks as soon as you have no active tasks... |

We started with almost 2 million tasks. We've only sent about 300,000 so far.
I got one time PPS task but if I want to get new nothing happens.
The four most common reasons for not getting CPU tasks:
1) Your PrimeGrid preferences are set wrong. You need to have "CPU tasks" checked at the top. You should have PPS-LLR checked. You should have all other CPU projects NOT checked. "Send other work" should be unchecked".
2) You have ANY PrimeGrid task suspended. That prevents your computer from downloading additional PrimeGrid tasks.
3) You're running Projects other than PrimeGrid on the same computer. BOINC may have decided to run them instead of PrimeGrid.
4) Your computer is set to the wrong BOINC "venue", so it's ignoring your preferences settings.
Looking at your settings, the preferences and venues look correct, so 1 and 4 are not the problem. Do you have any PrimeGrid tasks suspended, or is your computer attached to any projects other than PrimeGrid?

I just got one of those e-mails from PrimeGrid staff that make any PrimeGrid user happy :), but looking at the status page on TLKPP, I think that at least 12 other PPS (not _Extended) primes have been found in the last 72 hours. It is possible that some of them were found before the challenge start, but I'm pretty sure that most of them were found during the challenge.

Hey Michael, how many primes, if any, have been found in this challenge so far?
I count 12 so far based on TLKPD:

That represents the double check time PLUS the Lennart processing time PLUS the 'guy doesn't want us to report for him so we might wait up to 19 days" time.
I'm not sure how many of those were actually found by the prime finder during the challenge.
What I can tell you is that as of right now, there's 8 more PPS primes that are waiting on a wingman to do the double check. At any given time, there's usually two or three PPSE primes waiting for a double check, and 0 or 1 PPS primes. Right now there's 8 PPS primes and 1 PPSE.
Another way of looking at it is we're doing about 15 to 20 times the normal amount of PPS work.
As of right now, we've sent out 634K tasks during the challenge, and 454K tasks have been successfully returned. We normally do about 15-20K tasks each day.

With about one hour left to go it's time for the standard end of challenge request :)
At the Conclusion of the Challenge
We would prefer users "moving on" to finish those tasks they have downloaded, if not then please ABORT the WU's instead of DETACHING, RESETTING, or PAUSING.
ABORTING WU's allows them to be recycled immediately; thus a much faster "clean up" to the end of a Challenge. DETACHING, RESETTING, and PAUSING WU's causes them to remain in limbo until they EXPIRE. Therefore, we must wait until WU's expire to send them out to be completed.

The challenge is complete!
Here's the final statistics:
Challenge: Shakespeare's Birthday
(As of 2014-04-23 16:16:57 UTC)
770282 tasks have been sent out. [CPU/GPU/anonymous_platform: 768142 (100%) / 0 (0%) / 2140 (0%)]
Of those tasks that have been sent out:
50381 (7%) came back with some kind of an error. [50381 (7%) / 0 (0%) / 0 (0%)]
591101 (77%) have returned a successful result. [589154 (76%) / 0 (0%) / 1947 (0%)]
128609 (17%) are still in progress. [128400 (17%) / 0 (0%) / 193 (0%)]
Of the tasks that have been returned successfully:
35625 (6%) are pending validation. [35319 (6%) / 0 (0%) / 295 (0%)]
554854 (94%) have been successfully validated. [553213 (94%) / 0 (0%) / 1652 (0%)]
400 (0%) were invalid. [400 (0%) / 0 (0%) / 0 (0%)]
222 (0%) are inconclusive. [222 (0%) / 0 (0%) / 0 (0%)]
With the challenge over, the cleanup begins. Here's the initial cleanup statistics. These numbers should drop very rapidly, and I expect the cleanup to be done within about two weeks.
23-Apr: Shakespeare's Birthday: 35803 tasks outstanding; 23360 affecting individual (283) scoring positions; 6600 affecting team (62) scoring positions.
The last piece of the statistics is the number of primes that were found. That's a little bit complicated because the system is more concerned with when the prime is double checked, while what's interesting to us is when the prime was initially found.
What I can say is that there were 20 primes that were doublechecked during the challenge, and another 10 that have been found and are waiting for the doublecheck. Not all of those 30 primes were necessarily found during the challenge, but most were.
Overall, participation in the challenge was incredible. Nearly 200K tasks were processed each day, and that doesn't include tasks that span either the beginning or end times of the challenge. On a normal day, PPS does about 16K tasks.
Well done everyone!

I manually verified that the last remaining task is correct, so the challenge stats are now official!
Congratulations to brilong and team [H]ard|OCP, and a hearty "Job well done!" to everyone who participated!
There's a PRPNet challenge on our ESP project starting about 6 hours from now. The next BOINC challenge starts on May 20th. Happy Crunching!
