Greetings from Portugal!

[pinhodecarlos]

Hi all,

Just introducing myself to the SETI.USA community. I am from Portugal and I usually do some backstage crunching for RSALS (aka RSA) and NFS@Home when integers sieved via BOINC by these two projects are available for post-processing phase. I don't get BOINC credit for it, just do it for the math and fun..lol
My interests are in the math world more precisely factoring integers by different methods like ecm, GNFS and SNFS, but more likely from the latter.

Best regards,

Carlos Pinho

Welcome to our boards Carlos! Always good to hear from other crunchers.

Heya Carlos! Imagine seeing you here!

Get some more of those RSA jobs Post-Processed! We need more WU's!

(Things got suddenly very busy at work, so I've got to wait a little longer before hopping into the PP world.)

Ola pessoal da matemática. O meu nome é Ricardo Ferreira e tambem sou Portugues de Lisboa embora seja conhecido por aqui como Duke of Buckingham de profissão sou Engenheiro de Som. Sê bem vindo ao Forum Carlos.

Hello people from mathematics. My name is Ricardo Ferreira and I am also Portuguese from Lisbon although I am known around here as Duke of Buckingham, I am Sound Engineer by profession. Be most welcome to the Forum Carlos.

I stop helping RSA because we you already know the project will be closed by the end of the month and right now the server is full. All integers ready for post-processing are already reserved by others so I moved my help to NFS@Home. As can be seen here the RSA equivalent is live! Done two jobs and a third will end within ~12 hours.

So by moving CPU power from RSA to NFS@Home (please check lasieved - app for RSALS subproject, uses less than 0.5 GB memory to yes) you will make a favour to RSA. The advantage of running the NFS@Home under Linux is that the application is 64-bit compatible so you will get double credit and the speed is double when comparing to the 32-bit siever of the RSA. Also NFS@Home shares a wide range of the sievers for other platforms. I understand you all want to reach some milestones but RSA server is only 160 GB of space available and so it's very difficult to manage such space with post-processing stage.

Cheers,

Carlos Pinho

Bem-vindo pinhodecarlos, and cheers for the information on RSA.

Tomorrow I will start F1887 post-processing phase but it will only free up some 5 GB on the server. Right now 8 integers are free for reservation but I only have a computer!!!

Glad to have your Carlos. I guess it's safe to say that there will not be any more work units coming from RSA? Too bad, we were so close. Ahh well. I'll grab some NFS after the SIMAP challenge. Your welcome to joins us there on the stomp.

100 % sure Mike. All numbers have been reserved, 6 left. At the moment I post the reservation table has not been updated.
Thanks you for the invitation but I am already post-processing numbers for NFS (5_492_plus1 ), you can look here: http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/crunching.php.

Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, it is safe to say that there will not be any more work units coming from RSA. Now it's time to run NFS@Home lasieved application.
Thank you for the invitation to run the SIMAP challenge but my machine is reserved to do the backstage work (post-processing) you guys do at boinc NFS@Home.
