We have reached the optimal sieve depth for the ESP sieve. This is the promised one month warning for anyone who wants to go grab the next badge.
We want to shut down the sieve at a nice round number (e.g., 105P rather than 104.234568P), so the exact shutdown date will probably be a few days later when the last tasks are processed.)
EDIT: Only the Sieve is being shut down. ESP-LLR will continue operating for the foreseeable future.

It's likely there will still be a challenge in September, but it just won't be an ESP-Sieve challenge.

Time to dial things up to 12 (as opposed to 11). 2.65M to do in 30 days.
This is now on top of other big events imminent. |

TRP-Sieve is similar.

Which application is this specifically?
I see something called "Sierpinski Problem ESP/PSP/SoB (Sieve)", but nothing that is just "ESP sieve".
If "Sierpinski Problem ESP/PSP/SoB (Sieve)" is the one we are talking about here, will it live on for PSP and/or SoB sieving?
I'm confused.

Sorry for my ignorance, but is that the same as the PSP SV badge?
If not, can you let me know which subproject I should activate to get the ESP-Sieve badge?
Thank you. |

Yes, that's the one. I say "ESP sieve" for simplicity.
It's one sieve, and the entire app will be shut down.
Sorry for my ignorance, but is that the same as the PSP SV badge?
Yes, it's the PSP Sieve Badge.
For historical reference, this was originally called the PSP-Sieve (that's why the badge is the "PSP Sv" badge), but it was actually a combined PSP/SoB sieve.
This sieve shut down a few years ago. Two years ago, however, there was a need to do sieving for the ESP project. Since ESP is part of the same overall group of projects as PSP and SoB, and the software is the same, we re-used the PSP Sieve application to do the the ESP sieving, and changed the name to "ESP/PSP/SoB Sieve". Most recently, it's actually been sieving all three simultaneously, so it really is the ESP/PSP/SoB Sieve.
But "ESP Sieve" is a lot easier to type. :)

tl;dr: No.
Technically, the project will be suspended, meaning it's shut down until such a time as we need additional sieving.
However, we've now sieved SoB, PSP, and ESP to the optimal depth for LLR tests all the way up to n=50M. SoB, by far the project that has progressed the furthest, is only up to n=31M after many years of work at both SoB and PrimeGrid. Considering that the tests get longer in proportion to the square of N, I expect it will be decades before we need additional sieving.
Theoretically, a substantial advance in the speed of sieving, for example an efficient GPU app, might make it worthwhile to reopen this sieve. Or something totally unexpected could cause us to reopen the sieve. But there's absolutely nothing like that on the horizon at this time.
So while things may change, I don't expect this sieve to reopen any time in the foreseeable future.

Question: Any idea of expiration date for the other two remaining sieveing-apps?
Jim and I were just talking about this yesterday.
The Sierpinski and Riesel problems are very similar. We use the same software for both sieving and primality testing. Both are sieved up to n=50M, which is decades worth of LLR tests. The optimal sieving depth for both is about 90P. The ESP/PSP/SoB sieve has much fewer k's remaining than the Riesel sieve, so the TRP sieve is a lot slower. The ESP sieve is at 97P right now. TRP Sieve is at 46P.
I've shifted the default project from ESP-Sieve to TRP-Sieve, meaning that it gets automatically turned on in the preferences if you check "Use CPU" but don't choose any CPU tasks. It's also automatically selected when new accounts are created. This should increase TRP progress somewhat, but I still expect it to run for at least a few years. Like the ESP-Sieve, we'll technically "suspend" the TRP sieve when it reaches optimal sieving depth, but it's unlikely we'll ever need additional sieving, so I don't expect it to reopen once it closes.
As for PPS-Sieve, I'm not sure. It's organized somewhat differently, and while it might conceivably be suspended at some point, it would likely be restarted when PPS LLR progress advances. Unlike the TRP and ESP sieves, I suspect that any potential PPS sieve suspension would "only" be for a few years rather than for decades. Jim and I have been talking a little bit lately about PPS-Sieve and whether it's time to pause it. Chances are that PPS-Sieve manual sieving would be paused first. Each sieve range is sieved first with manual sieving, then it's sieved on BOINC. The most likely scenario is that when the current BOINC PPS-Sieve reaches optimal depth, we would move the current manual PPS Sieve to BOINC (that's the normal procedure) and suspend further manual sieving instead of starting the next manual sieve range. So at the very least, on BOINC, we need to finish the current sieve range AND the next sieve range.

PPS Sieve is now up to 179P. Do you have a target optimal depth which we can monitor on our own while pursuing our desired badge for it at the same time? |

tl;dr: Not sure, but it's MUCH higher than 179P. I'm guessing 900P.
We're not sure, because we haven't calculated it yet. Since each batch of sieving is at a higher N, the length of the LLR tests goes up significantly (it's proportional to N^2), while the sieve speed stays essentially the same. The optimal sieve point therefore goes up dramatically with each new sieve range. The previous sieve range was stopped at 400P, so this one will need to be several times higher than that to reach the optimal sieve point. If nothing else changed, the current BOINC range should go to about 900P. And the range currently being sieved manually will need to go even higher when it moves to BOINC (about 1600P).
We're not going to compute it now, because it's pointless. The speed of the sieve and the speed of LLR change over time due to improvements in both hardware and software, and that affects the optimal sieving point. It's folly to be looking that far ahead.

Great news and good to see one can "salvage" a very good badge level before any suspension thoughts surface.
TRP Sieve was also well-covered in another reply.
Full steam ahead! |

Update: After further discussion, we've decided there's no advantage in ending the sieve at a "nice round number". New work generation will be turned off sometime on July 29th.
These tasks get used up pretty quickly so the server will almost certainly run out of tasks several hours after I turn off the work generator.
It's inevitable that some tasks will fail or expire for various reasons, so small numbers of tasks will sporadically become available for several days after the queue runs dry. It will probably take about a week for all of the stragglers to complete.

Is it going to be that beneficial to anyone if you turn it off on the 29th, instead of the 31st "as promised"? I'm not going to make the next badge, but some people might have put some sort of trust in your promise and planned to have work generated until the 31st. Can you not keep your self-admitted promise and keep it going to the 31st? Will something terrible happen if you do that?
It doesn't overlap with the Summer Olympics challenge, so why the urgency to shut it down? By the way, your link in the Summer Olympics Challenge thread (to the "Riesel Problem Sieve") goes to a non-existent forum. |

Honestly, I've been saying July 29th all along, and didn't realize I'd put "31st" in the title. That post was the promised one month warning, and was posted on June 29th. The turn off date is therefore July 29th. The typo was a mistake -- as was letting the sieve run this long. It should have been shut down months ago.
Work will be turned off on the morning of the 29th, and the title will be corrected.
Thank you for bringing the typo to my attention.

I had to figuratively cross a few 't's and dot a few 'i's before saying anything, but since I'm the one that messed up on the dates, we're going to extend the shut off date to July 31st. Even though the 31st was a typo, it's my mistake, not yours, and it's not fair to anyone who was trying to get a badge by the 31st to suddenly have 2 fewer days.
So the sieve will shut down on the 31st. Probably early on the 31st, so plan accordingly.
Happy crunching!

Let's see how many times we can change this is a single 24 hour period...
The cutoff time will be 00:00 UTC on August 1st, i.e., the exact end of the month of July. Maybe a little bit later if both Jim and I are busy at that moment and can't push the button. That will be when we turn the work generator off. There will still be about an hour's work remaining in the queue, plus there will be resends available for a little while until everything is completed.

Cheers Michael. I hope we don't fall out permanently. I'll be trying to hoover up as many tasks as possible until then, not that it will get me another badge for now. Next time it's opened up for whatever reason, though...
Seriously, cheers. |

There's no reason to expect this sieve to reopen anytime in the foreseeable future. There's been enough sieving for decades worth of LLR tests on ESP, PSP, and SoB.
The flip side is that unexpected things DO happen from time to time. Reopening the ESP sieve was unexpected when it was closed the first time, as was the upcoming reopening of AP26.

Well yes, but... so can everyone. You need to be a member of a team to post on a team's forum, but everyone, including visitors who aren't even logged in, can read any forum.
Didn't know that? You're probably in good company. I doubt many people know. I'd been here years before stumbling onto it.
And, of course, there are admins who BELONG to that team, so it's not a great place to post things you don't want the admins to know about! :)
Funny thing about human intelligence: a lot of it comes from pattern matching. Our brains are evolved to detect patterns. It's a survival trait. It also means we see patterns and connections when it's only a coincidence. So to set the record straight:
There's no linkage between shutting down the Sieve and the upcoming challenge. It never crossed my mind that the runoff from the sieve might interfere with the challenge.
Also a coincidence: What you were referring to in your question (whether changing the date back to the 31st from the 29th) was something I was thinking of doing almost as soon as I corrected the typo, effectively changing it to the 29th. But before changing it I needed to first A) realize that those two days might really mess up some folks' plans, and B) make sure that the sieve guru (Jim) had no objection to moving the date.

There are times I check the forums (fora) without being logged in and the AtP group is not visible in the list of forums. As a result, I am not totally sure about the statement that simple visitors can read any forum. Any public forum, I can easily accept based on personal experience but dedicated group forums would seem to require membership (or being an admin :-) ).

That's why few people know it, I suppose. The links to the forums are there -- they're just not on the forum list.
If you click on a user's name to get to their user page, and then click on the link to the user's forum posts, you'll see all of them, including those on team forums.
If, from the same page, you click on their team name, you go to the team page, which has a direct link to the team's forum if they have one.
I'm not sure about these last two:
If you use forum's search feature to search for posts, it will show you posts in team forums.
If you use Google to search our forums, you will see posts on team forums. (I think we allow Google to search the forums, and Google's bots should be able to follow the first two links above to index all the team forum posts.)

Let's all smash the back doors off this one. The Sierpinski sieve(s) will be suspended by then.
from the top post of the Summer Olympics Challenge AtP thread, and searched on Primegrid search: http://imgur.com/a/7SElz

Reminder: At the end of July (about 36 hours from the time of this post), we will stop generating new tasks for the ESP sieve. It will then take about one or two hours for existing work to be sent out. Once that happens no more ESP work will be available except for resends.

Unable to get tasks for over three hours for my I7 6700K and with the subproject status page showing lots of units available.

Edit: The cache for this machine is less than four days by about 100 units right now and which is more puzzling. |

Work generation for the ESP sieve shut down automatically at midnight UTC. As of now, all tasks have been sent out. There are currently 84015 tasks outstanding. Once they're all done, the sieve will be officially suspended. Until then, there may be a few more tasks that become available sporadically when tasks fail and need to be sent out again.
STATUS:
1-Aug: 84015 tasks in progress.

Should have asked for a little help from the community. At WCG, a thread is created whenever a project is about to end, where people can request help to get that little push they need to achieve a badge.
Too late now, I guess... |

Still trying to get those last few credits for a badge?
Curious about how many tasks get resent? Is it a handful? Or is it thousands?
Well, I was curious.
We started with about 85 thousand tasks outstanding. It's now about 12 hours since the work shut off, and there's about 70 thousand tasks outstanding right now.
About 4 thousand tasks were resent during that same period. In about half a day, 15 thousand tasks were returned successfully and 4 thousand had some sort of error and were resent.
Based on that, you can probably expect about 20% of the outstanding tasks to be resent over the next couple of days.

Is there any reason you couldn't set up a queue to download enough workunits to get your badge? That's what I did; it turned out to not be necessary, so I aborted all the WU's I hadn't started yet to let other people finish up their badges.
Should have asked for a little help from the community. At WCG, a thread is created whenever a project is about to end, where people can request help to get that little push they need to achieve a badge.
How would you "help" someone else to achieve a badge? Do you connect your computer to their account with the weak account key or something? |

That's exactly it. Give your weak account key to people so they can add their PCs to your account and get credits in your name. Likewise, you can "repay" the credit you gained from those people by attaching your computer to theirs and doing work in their name, if they feel like it. |

Did not know that, I'll keep it in mind for the future. I initially left my machines on ESP sieve and nothing else to score some resends, but I've found that an empty computer doesn't like to contact the server very often, and anyway, it was just a shot to see if I could make it; I'd rather get ready for the new challenges and make some productive contributions.

For those who want the badge but don't have enough. I am about to dump ~700 units as I am going to participate in the challenge. Also I am 800k off my next badge so I don't need these units. I am going say when I do so in the chat room, under the handle kiska or some variant |

Ok I will begin dumping tasks in 5-10 minutes as soon as I can remote desktop into the server. More than 80% of these will not complete in time anyway.
I will give you an indication in the chat room when I do so |

It seems I did not pick up a single unit. Very unfortunate since my i7 6700k is at about 2/3rds capacity. |

I've just made my turquiose badge, I've aborted back 79 units or so. It's not much, but it may help anyone who's very close to a badge. |

MANY thanks for going through the trouble to check! I am puzzled as to how I missed them since I did check rather thoroughly. At least one user picked up 100 units from your set of aborts.
I am desperately trying to reach 15M .... 14.4M is in the bag. |

Both Monday and Tuesday I had managed to pick up around 350 resends each day. Today I am up to about 240 resends with more than 12 hours to go. Hopefully this trend goes into the weekend (famous last words). |

Well what would you know! I found another 4 i7 units from the 724 units I aborted.
491276943
491276939
491276941
491276937
I think I have my point clear? I have just gotten to about half way(300 out of 694) with the scanning of units that might belong to you. By manually going through the units and checking if they match one of your computer id's |

I had looked at my new resends in relation to the time you aborted your units ... plus a few minutes give or take. I also examined a sample from the first few pages (20 units per page) and they were dominated by one other user.
Thanks for making these units available. Ditto for others as well. |

If I hadn't made them available they would have timed out anyway, so I decided just to abort them since I won't be getting my next badge anyway. Besides now my server is like binging on TRP units, there are like 1k has been downloaded with many more to be downloaded |

Two things of note today:
* All tasks generated before the work generator was turned off at the end of July should have timed out by now, so all that's left are resends.
* Unlike a challenge cleanup, where we are only waiting for tasks that affect scoring positions, when shutting down a project we're waiting for all the tasks to complete

The last ESP/PSP/SoB-Sieve task has now been completed.
All three LLR projects have been greatly improved by all the sieving done by both ourselves and others. Thank you all for all the work!
Now lets knock of the remaining k's in the three conjectures. In about two weeks we'll have a 5 day challenge on ESP-LLR.

New default subproject at Primegrid preferences is "TRP-Sieve"?
From Primegrid preferences page:
Use CPU
You must also select CPU apps below.
If you do not, ESP/PSP/SoB-Sieve will be automatically selected for you.
