The Leonids Challenge is coming up on 17 November 2010. The project is the Sophie Germain Prime Search which uses LLR to primality test candidates to find twin or Sophie Germain primes. With the new LLR v3.8.2 app, testing times have dropped in some cases as much as 20%. Therefore, while we still have time, we'd like to conduct test runs to evaluate server load.The first run will be 6 November 2010 at 18:00. We'd like to run a 1 hr test on PPS (LLR) and produce as much stress as possible. We'll be monitoring load and making changes as necessary. If PPS (LLR) can run well under load, then SGS will as well with its longer tasks. For information, please see this forum thread.
