Hi Tim,

You're correct and I've noticed this kind of behaviour before which is due to the fact that lasievee is sieving 32-bits/33-bits numbers allocating more than 1GB per thread, sometimes using more memory than lasievef itself.

I'll request Greg to update the info on the preferences page where now it should be like this:


lasieved - app for RSALS subproject, uses less than 0.5 GB memory: yes
lasievee - work nearly always available, uses up to 1.2 GB memory: no
lasievef - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1.5 GB memory: no
lasieve5f - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1.5 GB memory: no


I recommend using lasieved where you will always be using less than 500 MB of memory per thread.

Kind Regards,

Carlos

Greg,

My work 64-bit windows machine is using 14e Lattice Sieve 1.08 instead of 14e Lattice Sieve 1.08 (notphenomiix6).
Can you support me on troubleshooting this issue?

Dear fellow crunchers,

unfortunately, the BOINC Pentathlon 2016 has to be postponed for a month after a hacker had caused havoc on the server and the SETI.Germany website had been offline for a week. Therefore, the new schedule is:

Start: 05 June 2016, 0:00 UTC
End: 19 June 2016, 0:00 UTC

The registration deadline for all teams that want to participate has been adjusted accordingly: Project suggestions are now accepted until 28 May. The registration form is working again. All teams which had already signed up should still be on the list of registered teams.

There will be additional efforts during the next weeks to recover the SETI.Germany website completely, thorough functionality testing of the Pentathlon pages will also be performed again. The postponement makes sure that there is ample time for our efforts and for those teams which could not sign up in time due to the server downtime to sign up.

We apologize for this incident and the postponement, but are still looking forward to run a thrilling BOINC Pentathlon with you a month later.

Posted on the OcUK Pentathlon thread this morning 04-26-16,




Dear fellow crunchers,

bad news today. As you may already have noticed, seti-germany.de and the Pentathlon pages have been down since Saturday. The server was hacked and we do not know yet when everything will be back online. Of course, we do not want to bring it back up just to see it being hacked again during the Pentathlon. Additional security measures are being implemented right now.

I really feel bad to have to say this, but we will have to postpone this year's Pentathlon to make sure that we can provide the usual service (stats, daily bulletin, project announcements) and all teams have the opportunity to sign up. We can not give a new date right now, but we hope that we can run it still in May or early June, as we definitely want to avoid the hot summer months.

If you registered your team before last Friday, all information is in our latest backup and will be restored. If you wanted to participate but could not sign up yet, don't worry; we'll make sure that you can still sign up once the Pentathlon pages are back online (of course, you can also submit your project suggestions via email if you like).

We will post a proper announcement as soon as we have a new date. Really sorry for the chaos this year.
Regards,
pschoefer
