No Prime Left Behind Math Project

[em99010pepe]

No Prime Left Behind is searching for primes of the form k*2^n-1 for all 400 < k <= 1001 from n=260K-1M.
A LLRNet server was set up


With LLRnet, you can perform LLR tests automatically. No need to mess with reserving/reporting ranges and all that stuff. No need to worry about whether your machine will run out of work in the middle of the night or while you're on vacation. Just set it and forget it!

LLRnet is very simple to set up--in less than 5 minutes you can be all set and crunching away! It's perfect for users who just want to donate their spare CPU cycles to a worthy cause without adding a degree of complexity to their computer use. (That's not to say that it isn't great for advanced users, too. ) It's also great for work computers, since you can set it up on a computer and not have to worry about having it run out of work while it's not accessible. (Sorry, LLRnet doesn't currently work with HTTP/SOCKS proxy servers. There is one workaround that I know of, but it's more technically oriented--if you're interested, either PM me or post here.)

Here's all you need to do:

1. Download the LLRnet client software for your operating system. LLRnet is available for Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD.

Click one of the following links to download LLRnet:

Windows (http://bugmesticky.googlepages.com/LLRnet-win32-NPLB.zip)
Linux (http://bugmesticky.googlepages.com/LLRnet-linux-NPLB.tar.bz2)
FreeBSD (http://bugmesticky.googlepages.com/LLRnet-freebsd-NPLB.tar.gz)

All are 32-bit; sorry, no 64-bit version available. However, because of the type of work that LLR does, 64-bit would have minimal, if any, speed increases.

2. Extract the files from the archive you just downloaded. C:\llrnet is a good choice (or /home/username/llrnet for Linux users).

3. Navigate to the folder where you extracted LLRnet. Open up the llr-clientconfig.txt file in your favorite text editor. You'll notice a little ways down from the top a line that says the following:

username = "nobody"

Change "nobody" to your mersenneforum.org username. For example, I would set this to "Anonymous". This ensures that numbers you work on are credited properly to you in the stats that will be published periodically. (If you'd rather crunch anonymously, i.e. not have your crunching associated with your mersenneforum.org username, simply set this to something different. You can actually punch in anything you want here, though most users will probably want to punch in your mersenneforum username.)

Save the file, and close out your text editor.

4. Doubleclick on the file named "llrnet.exe" to start LLRnet and get crunching! (On Linux and FreeBSD this will be just "llrnet".) You'll see an LLRnet icon appear in your system tray if you're running Windows, and you can right-click on the icon and click a button to pop up a GUI from which you can monitor your work. You can click another button on the right-click menu to open up a console and monitor your work from there. (Note: When you want to close out the console window, don't just close out the window. Instead, right-click on the LLRnet icon, and click "detach console". Otherwise, you'll close out the LLRnet program, which you probably don't want to do.) Linux users won't see a system tray icon, but they will get a GUI that pops up if they're using the stock version. (If you want to get the GUI back up after closing it out, navigate to your LLRnet folder and run the remote-gui.sh file.) To see the console, you'll want to start LLRnet from a command window--navigate to the LLRnet folder, and type the command "./llrnet" (without quotes). (With the console open, simply press Ctrl-C to stop LLRnet.)

5. If you want to have LLRnet run automatically when you start your computer, simply right-click the LLRnet system tray icon and click "Add LLRnet service". Or, if you'd rather only run LLRnet when your username is logged on, click the Start button, and navigate to All Programs, then double-click on the item named "Startup". A folder window will open. In a separate window, navigate to your LLRnet folder. Drag the llrnet.exe icon, with the right mouse button, to the Startup folder, and let go of the mouse button. Choose "Create Shortcut" from the menu that appears.

For Linux, how you set a program to run at startup depends on your distribution. Just post a message here and someone will try to help.

LLRnet FAQ

Q: Is there a deadline for returning LLRnet results?
A: Yes. Currently the deadline is 7 days from the time when the number was handed out to your client. After 7 days, if you still haven't finished crunching your number (or simply haven't been able to return it yet even if it is finished), it will be assigned to another person.

Q: Can I cancel a number that I don't actually want to crunch for whatever reason, or is over deadline?
A: Yes. Simply open up a command prompt (on Windows it's Start>Run, then type "cmd" and press Enter), navigate to the LLRnet folder (by typing the "cd" command, such as: "cd c:\llrnet"), and type the command "llrnet -c" and press Enter. LLRnet will start, cancel the current number, and close. (Your command window will still be left open.) Note that if you have a cache size greater than 1 (the default is 5), then you'll have to enter that command again for each additional number in the cache that you want to cancel. (LLRnet will say "no numbers left to cancel" if you've canceled them all and you execute the command again.)

Q: Can I run LLRnet on a multi-core system and still utilize all the cores?
Yes, though LLRnet by default can only utilize one core. Thus, you'll have to run multiple copies of LLRnet. Simply, when installing, extract the archive you downloaded into as many folders as you have cores (such as c:\llrnet, c:\llrnet2, etc.). Then, configure the llr-clientconfig.txt for each core (you have to configure each installation separately--and make sure to change the GUIPort value to something different on everything except the first installation. You'll also have to change this value in the llr-guiconfig.txt for the installations that have been set to a different GUIPort.), and run the llrnet.exe (or "llrnet" on Linux/FreeBSD) in each installation. You'll see as many LLRnet icons in your system tray as you have cores--you can control each core's LLRnet separately. (You can also configure one core's GUI to control all the other cores, too, though that's a little bit more of an advanced topic--you can either try to figure it out on your own, or just post here begging for help. )

Q: I'm not constantly connected to the Internet. Can I set LLRnet to keep a larger queue to last until the next connect?
A: Yes. Simply close out LLRnet, open up llr-clientconfig.txt, set the "WUCacheSize" value to however many workunits you want to keep in queue, and restart LLRnet. The maximum is 100, though that should be more than plenty even for the small numbers we're doing right now.

Q: I'm on a team. do I have to do anything special with LLRnet?
A: Yes. Simply edit the llr-clientconfig.txt file so that the line that says
username = "yournickname"
instead says
username = "teamname_yournickname"
username = "XtremeSystems_yournickname"


Q: I'm already experienced with LLRnet, and I just want to know what to punch in to my already-set-up copy of LLRnet for it to work with NPLB. Out with it man, already!
A: server = "crus.dynip.telepac.pt"
port = 300

On www.rieselprime.org -> NPLB Project (left menu) you can find many project information
and links to the current scoring tables. Also available is the status of the Team Drives with current
reservations and completions and found primes too.

Please help us. The server is handing small numbers to test, less than 3 minutes per candidate, fast wu's as we all like..lol

LLRNet stats update (http://www.rieselprime.org/nplb/NPLB_Scoring.htm).

A 24 hour rally will take place next Saturday starting at 7 PM GMT.

I'll give the rally a try with one core. I just gave it a little test run. Nice to see LLR do a WU in such a short time.

[em99010pepe]

Thanks.

For information:
between 1:30 AM GMT and 6:30 AM GMT (08 Feb 08) there were about 3800 k/n-pairs handed out from the server.

current rate is about 50 k/n-pairs per 5 minutes.

current k/n-pair at n=327270 (and about n -> n+4 every 5 minutes).

so about 68000 pairs left on server -> 113 hours of work (~50 pairs per 5 min)

Soon we well start getting into the Top 5000 (http://primes.utm.edu/bios/top20.php) territory and primes found will have to be summited to the prime database and you don't want to see your prime be credit to another person....

Kind of contradicting yourself? I don't care if even the cure for cancer gets credited to some other hard working member such as glenn. He has jumped in with both feet into projects other XS people like myself are daunted by the setup/maintenance required. I consider him the XS expert in esoteric math projects such as this one.

[em99010pepe]

It's up to you to decide if you want to share or not a prime, I just gave my opinion.

Rally is over. For those who want to abandon I only ask to do the following:


When you are done, be sure to change WUCacheSize to 1
WUCacheSize = 1

Then when it is down to just that one WU, stop the client.

Add this line to the config file and save it
once = 1

Start the client one last time and it will finish the last WU, upload the result and terminate.

Thank you all for helping NPLB project...the server is still up and running...stats will be updated within an hour or so.

[em99010pepe]

i tried to be fast.....
so here is the first glance of our 24h-race on LLRnet:

this link in not yet inserted in the NPLB-homepage (will be done) and the scorings for LLRnet from the race are not yet included in the 'Overall'-LLRnet stats page (next to do too).

please have a look and perhaps more suggestions to implement.
i will do:
- listing primes found in race

Thank you all.

[glennpat]

Thank you all.

You're welcome. Congrats on a rally with no hiccups. The short work units were nice and LLRNET worked great in getting them.

[em99010pepe]

We are almost in the Top 5000 territory (n>349.2K) within LLRnet server. In this case all primes must be submitted to top-5000 prime:



Instructions for submitting a top-5000 prime:

Go to http://primes.utm.edu/primes/home.php.

Step 1: For people who have not submitted top-5000 primes previously, create a prover account:
1. Select 'Submit' on the lower left side under 'Join in'.
2. Select the 'click here to create a prover-account' link in the middle of the page.
3. Fill out the form and submit it. You will be assigned a prover account.

Step 2: Create a proof code:
1. Go to the home page in the link above and select 'Index' on the left side under 'Provers'.
2. Next to 'search prover-accounts', type yours and press enter.
3. Click on your prover account (there may be one or several) and press enter.
4. Towards the bottom, click on 'Create a New Proof-Code' and press enter.
5. If necessary in the little pop-up box, type in your user name (prover account) and password and press enter.
6. You should now have a list of proof programs. Select LLR.
7. In the space below all the programs, type in 'PrimeSearch' for the project and 'Srsieve' for the sieving software. Separate each selection by a comma. (Obviously if you did an individual-k search on your own, then the software may vary.)
8. You should now have a new proof code and can submit the prime. Example...L442.

Step 3: Submit the prime:
1. Go to the home page in the link above and select 'Index' on the left side under 'Provers'.
2. Next to 'search proof-code', type your new code from step 2 and press enter.
3. Towards the bottom, next to 'Submit primes using this code as', click on your name (prover account) and press enter.
4. If necessary in the little pop-up box, type in your user name (prover account) and password and press enter.
5. You should see a big free-form box. Type in your prime (no spaces needed) and click 'Press here to submit these prime(s)'.
6. A verification screen will come up. If the prime is correct, click 'Press here to complete submission'.


Soon my strategy will be different, in case you miss the prime from your machines I'll send you a PM warning you to submit the prime and I won't post here the prime until Top 5000 confirms it as a prime number. Any doubts?

[em99010pepe]

I already moved 5 cores to the server, I'll make a 5 day run, the project really needs some boost. Glenn, please bring a few friends, thanks.

Carlos

[em99010pepe]

Just to let you guys know one thing.
The stats from the other servers were imported to http://nplb.rieselprime.org/ so now the stats from there represent the stats from the beginning of the NPLB project, this means the real overall standings....

[em99010pepe]

I suggest to move all cores to this server:

NPLB LLRnet server #1 (updated 31.05.2008 14:00 GMT):
maintained by IronBits
server = "llrnet.ironbits.net"
port = 5000
k-range: 301 <= k <= 399
n-ranges: 491K-510K
currently processing at n = ~504.2K
Report: http://llrnet.ironbits.net/index.html

There is no stats page but all results will be imported to the stats from http://nplb.rieselprime.org/stats/stats.php?a=reset.
The n is higher, you get bigger primes, the processing time should be the same compared to the work in the k-range 401 <= k <= 1001.

Carlos

[em99010pepe]

Glenn,

I put 1 fast core on it to help.

[em99010pepe]

Thank you Glenn.

[em99010pepe]

Less than 9500 candidates do test. Final boost please. I am on it with 5 cores.

I just added another core to it.

[em99010pepe]

Thanks Glenn.

Soon, I expect 2 days max, server C443 will have an important job to be done. We, NPLB, are going to LLR 18 k's from n=600k to n=1M, sieve is almost done. Another server will be turned on to help to distribute the candidates. This will be the most important task of NPLB so far.

Team drive #4 for NPLB! This will be a very exciting drive where we will be searching k=115, 149, 175, 179, 185, 199, 215, 227, 229, 239, 241, 257, 265, 271, 289, and 293 from n=600K-1M! Later on, we may add k=47 and 53 to the drive after coordinating an existing reservation. Sieve depth is P=26T.

Two excellent LLRnet servers will be processing a large part of the range. For general info. on setting up and running the servers see this thread (http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=9959). The info. specific to one of the servers that needs to be entered into your llr-clientconfig.txt file is:

#1:
server = nplb.dynip.telepac.pt
port = 443

#2:
server = nplb.ironbits.net
port = 7000

Please report all top-5000 primes with a project ID of 'PrimeSearch' and credit LLR and srsieve software.

Thanks,

Carlos

[em99010pepe]

Glenn, please check your PM's, thank you.

C443 needs a boost, thank you.

[em99010pepe]

Final push on server nplb.ironbits.net port 7500. 1821 candidates remaining at n=980k.

[jcool]

If you could just create a batch file or installer for us dumb Windooze users and include auto thread-splitting (running 1 instance for every core has so gotten old) I'd throw it on the octacore for a day or two and be done with it :p:

I gotta spend all my spare time tuning the hardware, can't be bothered to set up some elaborate software :wasntme:

[em99010pepe]

Ok, here you have.


Easy install of LLRNet for multi core systems.

The default setup is for rieselsieve so you will need to change the llr-clientconfig.txt file to look to the NPLB server.
-- server location
-- server = "www.footmaster.co.uk"
server = "nplb.ironbits.net"
port = 7500

and

username = "XtremeSystems_nickname"

http://em99010pepe.googlepages.com/llrnet-installer-2svc.exe
http://em99010pepe.googlepages.com/llrnet-installer-4svc.exe

Port 7500 has 1710 remaining...

[jcool]

Thanks... So which one do I need to download?
Will give this a shot tomorrow... right now I gotta get some sleep.

Edit: Ok, got it. Those are for 2 and 4 cores respectively.. I need 8 cores tho :p:
Oh well, as you still need to configure every one of those clients manually, I probably won't bother. Installed it on my lappy right now, 2 cores is better than nothing I guess.

[em99010pepe]

Thanks... So which one do I need to download?

Use the second link, it will install 4 clients. I also have to go to sleep.

[jcool]

See edit, lol. Good night!

[em99010pepe]

Here you have another simple way to install llrnet on 2, 4 and 8 cores machine.
The default server is on port 5000 but you also have work on port 400 and little work on port 7500. To change the port just edit llr-clientconfig.txt for all cores and look for the server location. Another thing you have to edit is your nickname, please look for the line username = "TeamName_nickname".

-- server location
server = "nplb.ironbits.net"
port = 5000

-- username ## Replace this with your mersenneforum username
username = "XtremeSystems_nickname"


Extract the zip, for 2 and 4, versions and unrar for the 8 version. To run the client you just need to run llrnet.exe respectively for each core.

Links to download:

http://em99010pepe.googlepages.com/llrnet_2_NPLB_win.zip (Core duo windows)
http://em99010pepe.googlepages.com/llrnet_4_NPLB_win.zip (Quad-core windows)

http://em99010pepe.googlepages.com/llrnet_8_NPLB_win.part2.rar (Octo part 2 windows)

All clients will run in the system tray. If you right click on the icon and if you choose "New GUI Window" you will get remotely control of all cores and see their progress.

Hope this helps a bit.

Carlos

[em99010pepe]

Port 7500 has 461 remaining so if you want to help a bit I suggest Port 5000.

Carlos

EDIT:

Here's an interesting map. For 300<k<1000 we are trying to find primes until n=600,000, so we still have something like 820,000 candidates to test. By looking at the following map you can see we still have a small gap to fill. HELP NEEDED.

http://em99010pepe.googlepages.com/primos.JPG

[em99010pepe]

Port 7500 is dried.

[em99010pepe]

jcool,

Do you want to try to run llrnet on port 5000 for a week in a row on your octo?

Carlos

[jcool]

Sorry, but no. Too much hassle setting it up, and too much WCG work lost. My priorities don't lie with maths calculations either ;)
I'll put some other machines on it if I get around to it. Really annoying that you have to change the config file all the time (my rigs run 24/7 without me being near them most of the time, so that's a rather big problem).

[em99010pepe]

Ok, thank you.

You just need to setup once. On which type of machine (2, 4 or 8 cores) would you run llrnet? I can easily config the files for you, you just need to extract them to your llrnet folder. I'm also hosting a server so for example you can put your cores there, please tell me if you would like to run this for just a week in a row. This would help a lot a small project, you will make a big difference.

New stats page in here:

It will take a few days to put them correct.

[em99010pepe]

Just to let you guys know we are trying hard to quickly finish drive 3 until the end of November.

server = "nplb.ironbits.net"
port = 5000

[em99010pepe]

Final push to complete Drive 3, at current pace 15 days left. Help needed. Thanks.

[em99010pepe]

Live stats are now available from free-dc stats page.

[em99010pepe]

Drive 3 was completed a few days ago and now we are concentrated on finishing Drive 1 until the end of the year.

Current servers with work:

#1
server = "nplb.ironbits.net"
port = 400

#2:
server = "nplb.dynip.telepac.pt"
port = 443

#3
server = "nplb-gb1.no-ip.org"
port = 4000

[em99010pepe]

Glenn,

When you get back to NPLB don't forget to take out the team reference from your username. This is because the new stats system works better that way, thanks.

Will do. We're starting to get caught back up on the new vault projects so will at least put something on NPLB soon.

From NPLB forum:


To all,

We're planning another LLRnet rally next weekend from Nov. 21st at 7 PM GMT to Nov. 23rd at 7 PM GMT (2 PM EST / 11 AM PST U.S.).

The rally will be run mostly run on port 400 (for the heavier hitters) and port 443 (for smaller resources). We may also reactivate port 5000 depending on the resources running the rally. (Note by Max: G4000 is also now open for rally work. I'm guessing that it can handle a pretty heavy load, though it hasn't been tested and thus the primary load should go on IB400 unless we can get a good pre-rally load test going to verify what it can handle.)

If you can't run our usual project servers and wish to run your own, let us know how many cores you'll be running and we'll send you a range just for the rally.

Max, can you post a response that asks for and shows the cores that everyone will be bringing. Right now, I'm going to plan on a full 40 fast cores. (I may run 3-4 slow cores also.)

Bring on the firepower as we attempt to finish the 1st drive by year end!

We won't finish Drive 1 until the end of the year, we really need some boost.

[em99010pepe]

Thanks Glenn for the cores.

[em99010pepe]

At the current pace Drive 1 will be finished within 16 days, final push Glenn? Just for a few days, bring everything.
Meanwhile got a new machine for my work, it's a quad-core, already running on server C443. My home quad is running IB400 and some manual ranges.

Except for the 1 core I have on NPLB I won't be doing a final push. I mostly just focus on the DC vault projects, but I will come to the short rallies they have on NPLB.

They're really fast. Thought something was wrong when I started it up.

I see I didn't reply to your last message from awhile back. I assume I must of read it, but don't really remember.

I always post here when something interesting comes up...with these fast wu's you can climb very fast in the stats. The server has at the moment more than 2.5M candidates to be processed. Have fun!

Don't worry, Happy New Year for you and your team.
