2019-09-19: RakeSearch, Results of the first half of the September 2019!
Dear folks!
Warm and sunny days are replaced by rains. September has come and deciduous trees take stock of summer. It's time for berries and nuts. But not only people need them! Numerous inhabitants of the forest will eat them during long and cold winter! Acron will be a symbol of September! As in the previous month, a new badge was granted to each participant, which computers found at least one pair with the degree of orthogonality higher or equal 86. For the first half of the month, the following 100 participants were successful:

2019-09-19: GoofyxGrid@Home NCI, Maintance break #23
In next 3-4 days will be some short breaks in server working.
I need make some works in my workshop:
1. connect back up server (named "atena")to my network,
2. configure everything
3. make tests for different configurations
4. add more RAM to proxmox server
5. add more RAM for main storage "bysior".
At this moment I am making backup of every think
2019-09-19: T.Brada Experimental Grid, Downtime
Sorry for the downtime. Compiling mysql took longer than anticipated.
Not only that, But I also messed up the server so it took some time to recover.
I still need to start post-upgrade backup during the day (to not receive noise complaints) and then clean up the LVM cause now the volumes are spread over everywhere which is not good.
2019-09-18: PrimeGrid, Oktoberfest Challenge!
From September 21st, 2019 Primegrid will be running an AP27 Challenge to celebrate Oktoberfest! The world's biggest Volkfest is held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, with more than six million people from around the world attending.
The Challenge starts at 11:00 UTC and ends 5 days later on 26th September at 11:00 UTC. Work units from the AP27 project, which are downloaded and completed during the challenge will count towards your challenge score.
The last AP26 was found on 17th November 2018. Can we find an AP27 during the Challenge?
For more information and discussion, please head over to the official challenge thread: http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=8764

2019-09-16: GoofyxGrid@Home NCI, 5th anniversary and VERY BIG change
At the beginning I'm sorry for my poor English.
Approximately 10-15 October this year, the GoofyxGrid project will celebrate its 5th anniversary
2019-09-14: RakeSearch, Computers CPU comparison page
Dear folks!
Many computers with different CPUs perform calculations in each volunteer computing project, and a pair of results for each workunit gives information about the relative computing power of two "processor threads". Consequently, any project with data about successfully processed and verified results is a deep lake of information about CPUs. We tried to make a tool that turns this data into a more usable form and added a page with a comparison of CPU of an indicated computer with CPUs of computers that it faced during results validation.
We placed a "Compare" link in tables with a list of computers and onto the page with computer detailed description.
Comparison page contains two tables: the first table with data about the performance of a single thread and the second table with that converted into data about the overall performance of a computer considering the number of threads of computer CPU(s). Notice that most of the servers have two or more CPUs and, correspondingly, the number of threads reported by BOINC client and displayed into the table is larger than a number of threads of a single CPU in the appropriate number of times.
And, of course, this comparison is based on computing of RakeSearch application, with small consumption of RAM and usage of integer variables exclusively. But many other business workloads operate mostly with integers as well.
We hope that this data can be of help in some cases or can be interesting.
Thank you for attention to the project and participation!

2019-09-12: LHC@Home, The SixTrack team at the LHC@Home desk for the CERN open days
Dear volunteers,
thanks to those who have filled in the doodle we circulated last week:
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=5130&postid=39794#39794
We decided to deliver a presentation every day in the most populated time slots out of the doodle poll, i.e. on Sat. 14th Sep, between 03:00 and 04:00 PM, and on Sun 15th Sep, between 02:00 and 03:00 PM.
The meeting point will be the LHC@Home desk in R2 (building 504), at the beginning of the time slot. We will have to walk few minutes to a meeting room where there will be the presentations. We will be back at the meeting point by the end of the time slot at the latest.
Looking forward to shaking hands and meeting you,
Alessio and Massimo, for the SixTrack team
2019-09-12: PrimeGrid, World Maths Day Challenge
Announcing a new Challenge slot! To celebrate World Maths Day, and our new PPS-DIV sub-project, we'll be running a 5 day Challenge from 10th October 18:00 UTC until 15th October 18:00 UTC. Other Challenge dates are unaffected.
The Fermat Divisor search is especially designed to have a better chance of finding a Fermat Divisor. It has a limited number of candidates to check, and once they're gone, the project is over. A new Fermat Prime Divisor earns the finder a rare badge. The project has found 18 primes so far, but no divisor.
For more information and discussion, read this forum thread or join our Discord server.

2019-09-11: PrimeGrid, World Record Generalized Cullen Prime
On 2 September 2019, 03:39:59 UTC, PrimeGrid?s Generalized Cullen/Woodall Prime Search found the largest known Generalized Cullen prime:
2805222*252805222+1
Generalized Cullen numbers are of the form: n*bn+1. Generalized Cullen numbers that are prime are called Generalized Cullen primes. For more information, please see ?Cullen prime? in The Prime Glossary.
The prime is 3,921,539 digits long and enters Chris Caldwell's The Largest Known Primes Database ranked 1st for Generalized Cullen primes and 21st overall.
Base 25 was one of 11 primeless Generalized Cullen bases for b ?121 that PrimeGrid is searching. The remaining bases are 13, 29, 47, 49, 55, 69, 73, 101, 109 & 121.
The discovery was made by Tom Greer (tng*) of the United States using an Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900X CPU @ 3.50GHz with 32GB RAM, running Microsoft Windows 10 Professional x64 Edition. His computer took 3 hours and 23 minutes to complete the primality test using multithreaded LLR. Tom is a member of the Sicituradastra team.
The prime was verified on 3 September 2019 05:15:11 UTC by Tim Terry (TimT) of the United States using an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz with 16GB RAM, running Microsoft Windows 10 Professional x64 Edition. This computer took about 24 hours 11 minutes to complete the primality test using multithreaded LLR. Tim is a member of the Aggie The Pew team.
For more details, please see the official announcement.
2019-09-09: MilkyWay@home, UPDATE: NO Scheduled Downtime Thursday 9/12/19 Evening
Hi everyone,
The Milkyway server will be down this Thursday, 9/12/2019 starting at 4PM. The server should be back up by midnight. You will not be able to download or return workunits during this time, and the website will also be down. Any issues/questions can be directed at our email milkyway@cs.rpi.edu while the server is down.

2019-09-06: PrimeGrid, New Project: Fermat Divisor Search
PrimeGrid is proud to announce that we have a new sub-project, the Fermat Divisor search.
This is a variant of our other PPS (Proth Prime Search) sub-projects and is specially designed to have a better chance of finding a Fermat Divisor.
Unlike most of our other sub-projects, this one will not run forever. It has a limited number of candidates to check, and once they're gone, the project is over. My best guess is that this project will last about three months.
It uses the same badge and stats as the other PPS sub-projects, so there's no new badge. But this is probably the best chance of discovering a Fermat divisor and earning that rare badge.
For more information and discussion, read this forum thread or join our Discord server.

2019-08-29: RNA World, Unplanned server shut down
Dear participants,
for unknown reasons, the RNA World server shut down yesterday.
Due to the unusually high temperatures my best guess at present is that the machine has undergone a safety shut down to prevent hardware damage.
We will investigate this in more detail.
For now, after manual inspection I have managed to successfuly reboot the machine and everything seems to work fine again.
Some measures have been taken to try to reduce the temperature in the server room.
Thanks a lot to those who have reported this issue to us - fortunately, and in contrast to all other BOINC projects, our discussion forum is independently hosted from the project server such that we remain reachable even in case of a total system failure. ;-)

If you don't know what app_config.xml is, or if you don't use it for PrimeGrid's LLR apps, you can ignore this notice. This doesn't affect you.
But if you are using app_config.xml on any of our LLR apps, we are changing the plan class of the LLR app versions, and therefore your app_config.xml won't work after the changes. For details, as well as what you should do right now, please see this message. Comments, questions, and discussion are also located in that thread.
