I'm attempting to solidify my 7th place standing on the Team. Finding a prime would be like winning the lottery!

Crazy day for primes today!

First, congrats to @Icecold on finding a GFN-16 prime! Seems like that prime was double-checked by some orange kid. Wait, not just some orange kid, our @Orange Kid!

Fortunate for me that was a double-check, because...um, Tony, could you give me that horn? Thanks!

TOOT! I found a GFN-16 prime! Three strikes! I'm out!

Well, not out out; I'm just getting my head out of the clouds if you know what I mean.

And that means OK and I are tied for most primes found this month. About three days left.

Edit: Also a DC for @TennesseeTony.

Next challenge is on llr321 (multithreaded CPU application),

starts Monday March 21, 03:21 UTC = Sunday March 20, 23:21 EDT, 20:21 PDT,
ends Saturday March 26, 03:21 UTC = Friday March 25, 23:21 EDT, 20:21 PDT.​

According to apps.php, the current application version is 9.01 of December 20, 2020. This corresponds to sllr2_1.1.0_linux64_201114 on 64 bit Linux (as opposed to sllr2_1.1.1_linux64_210204 which some of the other LLR based subprojects have adopted in the meantime).

Here is a randomly picked AVX-512 capable Xeon on Linux with a few llr321 results from single-threaded runs: host ID 1105438/ llr 321 results
I am seeing 15 results which all had 1000K FFT length = 7.8 MiB FFT data size. The 5 among them which are from a "main task" took this computer 44…45 hours each to complete. (LLR will choose slightly different FFTs on different hardware, and one would configure a pure llr321 workload for multithreading, not singlethreaded.)

I'll check the range of FFT lengths of currently available llr321 workunits on Haswell in a bit. As you can see at Subproject status --> 321 Prime Search Range statistics, this project looks at a single k,¹ in contrast to some of the other LLR subprojects which search a few k's in parallel. Maybe the llr321 workunits will be a bit more homogeneous than some others.

Edit,
the current search space is n = 18,307,407…18,449,019 which results in 1 M FFT length = 8 MiB FFT data size on Haswell, and on Zen 2 too.

¹) The candidates have the form of 3*2^n±1. "These numbers have been studied by mathematicians since Thābit ibn Qurra in the 9th century", said Reggie of PrimeGrid. And mankind is still not finished with them? :-O

I edited my setup now, to give it a week for all the old units to clear out. They are all on Ukraine. For this challenge should I go back to Anandtech ? I showed my support for weeks now.

Everyone can do as they see fit, naturally. I for one plan to run competitions as TeAm AnandTech member. Additionally I have a personal focus project for this year which I plan to run as TeAm AnandTech member, but that project doesn't have work currently.

BTW, there is no harm in aborting unfinished work before the PrimeGrid challenge starts, as long as it isn't an excessive number of tasks. As always, only work which is fetched after the start of the challenge will give points for the challenge.

I plan to switch back to TAAT on Primegrid for the challenge. Then after the challenge I will probably go back to Ukraine.

@mmonnin03 you gonna join the challenge with us?
