Welcome to a week of Wieferich and Wall-Sun-Sun

This first week of 2012 (1 Jan - 7 Jan) is a home warming party for the new Wieferich and Wall-Sun-Sun prime search projects at PrimeGrid. These projects are looking for extremely rare and unique primes. For more information, please click on the individual project links above. PSA credit is available.

Project stats are available here: Wieferich | Wall-Sun-Sun

They are only available for 64bit OS's (Mac, Linux, Windows). They also require the updated PRPNet 5.0 release. New PRPClient packages are available in the PRPNet thread.

For existing v4.3.7 PRPNet users, it's probably best to get a clean install as there are several updates:

• prpclient v5.0.2 & readme_prpclient.txt
• master-prpclient-ini (new servers and wwww application)
• pfgw v3.6.0 & readme_pfgw.txt
• wwww v1.3 & readme_wwww.txt

For any help or issues with prpclient, please post in the PRPNet Discussion thread.

In order to participate in the two new projects, make sure you give them some project share. Below is an example of 50/50 share:
server=WIEFERICH:50:1:prpnet.mine.nu:13000
server=WALLSUNSUN:50:1:prpnet.mine.nu:13001
Remember that percent across all active projects must equal 100%.

NOTE: As Wall-Sun-Sun is already in first pass territory, please consider setting Wieferich with a higher percent (80/20 for example).

Task lengths are ~1hr for Wieferich and ~45 minutes for Wall-Sun-Sun. If we get a good turnout for this event, it might be best to increase the cache to 2 or more. Below is an example of an 80/20 share with each project requesting 3 WU's at a time:

server=WIEFERICH:80:3:prpnet.mine.nu:13000
server=WALLSUNSUN:20:3:prpnet.mine.nu:13001

stats are still beta and can be found at http://u-g-f.de/PRPNet_beta/

Progress Update

The welcoming party is now over. Wieferich and Wall-Sun-Sun have been well received at PrimeGrid and are settling in for the long haul. Thank you to everyone involved. The first week of 2012 has been outstanding. Let's hope it sets the tone for the rest of the year. If so, then we should expect some significant progress this year.

In just one week's time, over 4e15 was completed in the Wieferich search and 3.2e14 was completed in the Wall-Sun-Sun search. Both levels of progress are amazing.
