1) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : Why were the WUs not validated Message 2525 Posted 25 days ago by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	They will be eventually manually validated, don't worry about them. Somehow during the GMT 13:00- 13:30 timeslot any wus uploaded to server go into validation dormant mode. Admin is aware of it.
2) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : Android support Message 2523 Posted 28 days ago by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	Due to the complexity of the sievers coding there is no plan in the near future for an Android version.
3) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : 16e Lattice Sieve V5 1.11 using to much memory, Help Limiting concurrent WU's Message 2520 Posted 19 Dec 2024 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	I recommend running both 16e Lattice Sieve (small lasievef_small and lasieve5f/V5) as a mean to manage your memory requirements. The small will use less than 1GB of memory. You can also go to the boinc client settings and force it to only use X % of the CPU cores.

5) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : 136 (0x00000088) Unknown error code Message 2482 Posted 1 Jun 2024 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	Integer put in standby by our operative Sean. Once Greg wakes up he will sort this work distribution. We apologize for this inconvenience.
6) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : 136 (0x00000088) Unknown error code Message 2481 Posted 1 Jun 2024 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	Flagged, pending feedback.
7) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : Stuck in Pending Message 2467 Posted 14 May 2024 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	For the challenge participants, if you see any anomalies please post on this thread.
8) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : Stuck in Pending Message 2465 Posted 14 May 2024 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	Have alerted Greg by email Do not worry.
9) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : Tasks starting with S2p falling over Message 2461 Posted 9 May 2024 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	On boinc manager client increase the memory usage up to 98%.
10) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : 14e Sieve Computation error Message 2450 Posted 13 Mar 2024 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	I suggest to concentrate on on both 16 (quicker and higher credit payers) for now, eventually those Wu's erroing out will be done by Linux users or they will be cancelled by the server after 4 errors.
11) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : 14e Sieve Computation error Message 2445 Posted 2 Mar 2024 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	Have warned team. We apologise. Feel free to abort them or untick the 14e application.
12) Message boards : Chat : Formula BOINC 2024 Message 2441 Posted 15 Feb 2024 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	Welcome Timbo. I'll make sure the NFS@Home feeders are aware and your thread is now sticky.
13) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : No 15e Lattice Sieve for smaller numbers Tasks for a While Now Message 2423 Posted 1 Dec 2023 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	I'll need to check with the guys running ECM on the background, I know they were struggling to find work to feed 15e small queue, however I recommend crushing for 16e v5 and 16e small, specially the former where there is still a lot of Cunningham integers to factor. Would be nice to have a nice boost to 200k Wu's per day in there. BTW, not sure if noticed but it was recently released an update for sub projects apps for CPU's able to run avx512 instructions, but only for linux at the moment. This will give a nice boost.

15) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : WU's failing with EXIT_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED Message 2381 Posted 4 Mar 2023 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	Back to normal here, just aborting the ones with the highest estimate time. Back to 100% on 16e small, background feeders need some push in there, lots of integers to factor.
16) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : WU's failing with EXIT_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED Message 2376 Posted 28 Feb 2023 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	If you have spare memory per thread core I recommend just allowing for 16e Lattice Sieve V5 tasks until Greg sorts this out on his end for the 16e Lattice Sieve for smaller numbers aka .lasievef_small. Under preferences: lasieved - very small numbers, uses less than 0.5 GB memory, work may be infrequently available: no lasievee_small - small numbers, uses up to 0.8 GB memory: no lasievee - medium numbers, uses up to 1 GB memory: no lasievef_small - large numbers, uses up to 1 GB memory: no lasieve5f - huge numbers, uses up to 1.25 GB memory: yes
17) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : WU's failing with EXIT_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED Message 2374 Posted 28 Feb 2023 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	Now I'm getting the same issue. This happens with all Wu's with a completion forecast higher than before. It changed from 28 mins to 2h on my case. So on my queue I have a mix of the two. Do we need to rerun the computer Benchmark?!
18) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : WU's failing with EXIT_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED Message 2368 Posted 17 Feb 2023 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	Please let me know if it still stands, will have to get admin Greg involved.
19) Message boards : Questions/Problems/Bugs : WU's failing with EXIT_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED Message 2366 Posted 16 Feb 2023 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	Hi. Go to https://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/prefs.php?subset=global and on the memory section set all to 95%.
20) Message boards : NFS Discussion : NFS@Home Project Goals Message 2360 Posted 15 Jan 2023 by Gigacruncher [TSBTs Pirate]	State-of-the-art factorizations Siever to use is: lasieve5f (16e credit, 16e Lattice Sieve V5 ),130 credits per wu. Long time goals: "Gang of 31", now "Gang of 21". The Cunningham project may be the longest ongoing computational project in history. See https://homes.cerias.purdue.edu/~ssw/cun/. As of this update (9th January 2025) there are 21 numbers as yet unfactored from the 1987 published version of the book. These are all numbers of the form 2^n+1 for n < 1200 and 2^(2n+1) +/- 2^(n+1) + 1 for n < 600. During the last number of years, big push has and is being made to finish all Mersenne numbers (2^n-1) for n < 1200, but more power is needed. It would be nice to finish this last small set of composites (21 now). They were added to the tables in the early 1960's by John Selfridge and D.H. Lehmer, so have been waiting for over 60 years to get done. Attempts to factor these numbers have been made since the time of Fermat, so they have strong historical interest. Below is currently the work load table being run that uses the Number Field Sieve to factor these numbers with support from Yoyo on the ECM front. This project pushes the state of the art in factoring algorithms and every little help is appreciated to finish these last 21 composites. 2_2222L C228 SNFS 334 Done by yoyo@Home (Jan. 8, 2023) 2_2278M C234 SNFS 343 Done by yoyo@Home (May. 17, 2023) 2_1151+ C236 SNFS 347 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_2206L C243 SNFS 332 Done by NFS@Home (Mar. 10, 2023) 2_1136+ C247 SNFS 342 Done by Wagstaff ECMNET (Sep. 30, 2023) 2_1139+ C248 SNFS 323 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_2246L C253 SNFS 338 Done yoyo@Home (Oct. 25, 2023 p78.c176) (charybdis is tackling the c176 done Oct 30, 2023) 2_2266L C255 SNFS 341 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_1108+ C271 SNFS 334 Done by NFS@Home (Apr. 10, 2023) 2_2354M C271 SNFS 354 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_2306L C287 SNFS 347 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_1097+ C288 SNFS 331 Done by NFS@Home (Dec. 19, 2022) 2_2222M C289 SNFS 334 Done by NFS@Home (May 2, 2023) 2_2342M C291 SNFS 353 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_2302L C293 SNFS 347 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_2318M C296 SNFS 349 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_1163+ C297 SNFS 350 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_2194M C301 SNFS 331 Done by NFS@Home (Feb. 4, 2023) 2_2194L C304 SNFS 331 Done by NFS@Home (Jan. 11, 2023) 2_2378L C305 SNFS 358 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_1153+ C306 SNFS 347 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_2374L C309 SNFS 358 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_1124+ C311 SNFS 338 (NFS@Home Sieving in Progress) 2_2354L C314 SNFS 354 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_1147+ C317 SNFS 345 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_1159+ C318 SNFS 349 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_1168+ C326 SNFS 352 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_2398M C326 SNFS 361 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_1129+ C330 SNFS 340 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_1187+ C334 SNFS 358 (yoyo@Home doing ECM) 2_1123+ C338 SNFS 338 (NFS@Home Sieving in Progress) Some of the above integers have been enqueued at https://www.rechenkraft.net/yoyo/y_status_ecm.php#tabs-2, tab Cunningham.
