Sieving for ESP has now reached p=90P, which is where PSP and SOB had been sieved to. The PSP and SOB candidates have been added back into the sieve file and as a result of the increased task times credit has been increased from 137.0900751 to 226.4205. There's a 10% conjecture bonus, so actual numbers are 10% higher than that. As seems to be "normal", I screwed up the XML during the update, which meant that there were a bunch of "error while downloading". The XML has now been fixed and those WU's should now download properly and complete. I'm running one myself now. If they don't fail immediately, they won't fail at all.
We'll be evaluating the optimal sieve point and will give at least a month's notice of when we're planning to pause sieving. It's also possible that at that time we might start sieving for higher n's, in which case sieving will run for at least another five years.
Edit: Added sentence about the 10% conjecture bonus. | |

Assuming we don't sieve higher n, can we make it to September (there's a 5 day ESP sieve challenge scheduled)? | |

Yes, we'll definitely make it that far or I wouldn't have bothered merging sieves. | |

Just curious, noticed one of my systems was still having issues getting the new sieve tasks. I did a project reset and it got work. Wasn't sure if that was due to some file stuck or what.

Not sure if this has to do with the change or not, but I noticed a WU with 6 validate errors.
I'm not sure how common errors like this are, but 6 separate users getting the same error is interesting enough for me to point out.

Yes, this was a direct effect of the change. As reported in another thread, everything has been fixed and rechecked again afterwards to make sure. | |
