1) Message boards : Generalized Fermat Prime Search : 2 days for a genefer workunit? (Message 81427)
Posted 3090 days ago by biggerben

hi all

just wanted to ensure that everything is fine as I see a lot of people completing these workunits significantly faster than me.

does the following look right to you?

linux (kubuntu 14.04, 64-bit)
16gb RAM
i7 3.4 GHz cpu
nvidia GeForce GTX 650 (1023MB)
cudaGFN 3.03 for genefer tasks

4 LLR and one genefer task running simultaneously, but hyperthreading no deactivated

is about 2 days for a workunit about right here? or is something wrong?

why is the mega prime found still not announced on the front page? It is the largest prime found by primegrid and as it is now listed in the top5000 I would assume it is now official.
