Prime Sierpinski Project setup instructions copied/updated from hanluc @ overclockers UK
1. Register an account http://www.mersenneforum.org/ and log on.
2. In the forum section Prime Sierpinski Project there is a thread called " Teams:- Join a Team" post in that and request to join [H]ard|OCP with your desired username, also PM 'ltd' with your request. Your username must not contain spaces, use underscore if need be, you can check the stats to see if your username is already in use.
3. Once you've been added, download the latest prpnet client from http://uwin.mine.nu/PRPNet/
4. Unzip the client you need, and edit the "master_prpclient.ini".
set userid and machineid to your username (bug in prpclient)
uncomment or add servers
server=PSPfp:100:1:www.psp-project.de:8100
server=PSPdc:0:1:www.psp-project.de:8101
comment out any other servers with //
comment/uncomment between 32 bit and 64bit exe's or cuda (I had to add cufft32_55.dll to directory for cuda to run)
5. You'll see lots of .bat files in the extracted folder, use the group of .bats that has the amount of cores you have or want to run, if you have a quad core machine for e.g. you would need to run in this order:
a) 4-quad-install-prpclient.bat ( this will create 4 new work folders for each core)
b) 4-quad-update-prpclient-ini.bat ( this updates the prpclient.ini file in each of the new folders from the master_prpclient.ini file)
c) 4-quad-start-prpclient.bat (starts all the clients at once)
Some additional Notes.
There are 32bit versions of LLR and other programs, but the prpclient.exe in the windows zip seems to be 64-bit...
You can see current reservations at tools.1up.no/psp/stats (1 hour delay)
Project Stat Page http://www.psp-project.de/stats.html (15m delay)
Free-DC Stats http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=proj&proj=psp
server=PSPfp:100:1:www.psp-project.de:8100
server=PSPdc:0:1:www.psp-project.de:8101
You can change the set up of these servers, each server gives out different work, the top one is fp (first pass) work, these take the longest to complete, around 3-4 days on an 3770K and currently give around 11,000 pts per WU.
(47 hours intel i7-2700K 3.6ghz, 116 hours amd 6276)
Cuda version seems to run at same speed as intel cpu's.
The bottom one is dc (double check) these take half the time of fp pass work, and give 5,500 pts per work unit, they scale the same, I've never found any advantage pts wise between the two but the dc work maybe preferable to some on slower machines.
100:1 means that you will recieve 100% of work from this server, 0:1 means no work, you can change them around, do both types of work evenly 50:1, 50:1 or whatever percentage you prefer.
Estimated 1st Pass Runtimes, based on ms per bit...
50ms per bit, 200hours, 8.3d
45ms, 179h, 7.4d
35ms, 139h, 5.8d
30ms, 119h, 5.0d
25ms, 99h, 4.1d
20ms, 80h, 3.3d
15ms, 60h, 2.5d
