The great PPSE Push Jan 2025.

[Skillz]

Some people in the PG community are trying to push PPSE into the T5K list so they'll be eligible for the Tour de Primes in the month of February.

At the time of this post there are roughly 4.2 million tasks that need to be completed before Feb. 1st to get PPSE into TdP. This assumes the number of GFN17 primes slow down as this number will continue to get larger as more people find GFN17 which is T5K eligible.

According to the PG admins PG is doing around 143k tasks per day. At this rate it would take 29.9 days to make sure PPSE is in the T5K.

Some of us on the team are firing up some hosts to run PPSE for the whole month or most of the month to help this. It will also be a 3-day PG Challenge towards the end of the month of January.

I started up about an hour or two ago and already found a baby prime.

These tasks are relatively small. Use a small L3 cache footprint. It's recommended to run 1 task per CORE on any modern CPU from the last ~10 years or so.

and I got this.

I was just thinking of posting a thread, about how maybe 9-12 people will get tour de primes badges this year due to GFN-17 being the easiest sub-project to find a prime this year unless the rules change... Thanks Skillz!

Thank you for thanking those that are running the PPSE stuff!... Great to see Bigfoot back in the game this past year also!

I've put most of my hardware on PPSE. Need to do some real work to get it running on my Pis, which I don't know if I'll get around to it.

I've tried running LLR on a Pi 4. Emulating x86 makes it way too slow to be useful. As long as you don't do GFN-17 (which a Pi will do more easily), you're helping.

Seems I got two more myself.

PG tasks in progress have risen 63% since the call was made.

 

[Skillz]

We are at ~360k PPSE tasks per day now. Started at 142k tasks per day.

 

[Markfw]

well, I fired up 2 more 64 core Genoas. That number should go up at this time tomorrow.

Y'all need to slow down, or you'll have more Primes than points.

I understand the excitement though, of finding a prime, even if it doesn't make the top 5000:

Also, just an observation. My Turin @ 2.3 appears to be doing these faster than my 7950x @4.5 ! ~11 min vs ~12.5 per unit !

The 9950x @ 4.2 is the fastest though at ~8 min

 

[Skillz]

Looks like we're around 363k PPSE tasks per day right now. We as in all of PG. lol

 

[Markfw]

after I benchmark, later today I have to turn off 3 of the 9554's as I can't deal with the 84F and having the AC on for 3 more weeks. I will turn them on before the PG contest.
