I saw the video - didn't know it would have such an effect on ths graphs though! Amazing to see us get such a good mention like that!

Edit: TRP sv has had a boost also as people get that by default.

Numberphile is how I found out about this project and joined.

well for me and other new members is their a sticky for common etiquette; my main curiosity is for running different WU's. (I selected AP27, PPSE, SOB, 3 sieve's, GFN 15, GFN 16, GFN 17 low, GFN 17 mega, GFN 22, and give me any work if none available.)

Do most people just select all? Is it wrong to not sieve? (I'd always sieve anyways).

If you want to help on a little bit of everything, but don't want the trouble of constantly changing your preferences, selecting lot's of projects is definitely a way...

But most people that actually pay attention to what they are crunching usually only select 1 or 2 projects at a time, either for getting a particular badge or to get optimal work for their hardware. Anyone can crunch whatever they feel like it, but if you are a badge hunter like me and many others, you might want to just crunch one type of CPU and GPU project at time so that you can focus your efforts on getting badges as fast as possible.

Looking at your computers, I can give you the folllowing quick tips:
-Don't bother with AP27 for the iGPUs, the software will straight up not work. That's just a headsup,, the server should know that on it's own and not send you tasks. CPU AP27 is fine, though.
-I'd suggest NOT crunching GFN 22. Your iGPUs are slow. Like, REALLY slow for such huge tasks, it's probably going to take 2 weeks or more to complete just a single task (this is just a guess, though). Up to GFN 19 or 20 should still be fine, but I wouldn't go higher than that. Again, feel free to crunch them, but I advise not to. Oh, and if GPU crunching is slow.. then don't even think about crunching those tasks on the CPU. The fastest of CPUs are already snails at those and aren't recommended for such tasks, let alone non-cutting edge tech.
-I also suggest avoiding SoB (and by extension, CUL and WOO). Just like with GFN 22, those tasks are BIG, and your AMD CPUs lack the hardware support to make them less enormous, while the mobile Intel one is just going to melt when it tries to do that due to the lack of cooling.

Everything else should be doable.

Welcome to all the new blood, fantastic to see. Lots of fun to be had, lots to learn. Remember to keep your machines cool & monitor temps. Tip: if there's a radiator in the room, turn it off.

I do know if you have Intel with AVX, PSP LLR requires a push at this time.

Did anyone link the video? It is here: 383 is cool /JeppeSN

Thanks for the link Jeppe

The video is well worth a look

My computers found:

9831*2^1441403+1 is a quadhectokilo prime prime, ie >400,000 digits ;)

252031090528237591 + 65521*149*23*19*17*13*11*7*5*3*2*n is prime for every n in { 0..20 } (an arithemtic progression of 21 primes)

I am a new participant as well because I saw this mentioned on the Numberphile video. Right now I have three machines that I have access to where I can run items but am trying to find more.

I have been just running the default sieve as I presumed that is where the most help was needed. I do have some questions: Does the default task change periodically and what, other that a project completion causes that to change? Also will the server only deliver tasks to my computers that are reasonable for the hardware I have?

Thanks in advance, I am pleased to be a part of this effort.
