The WUs for part 4 should take 5-6 months to process at the current speed. So maybe you will be able to get to 1 billion :)

Top credit badge is given for 1 billion credits, so probably not... Part 4 shouldn't find any new amicable pairs, that's the whole point of it - it will double check the exhaustive searches I did before in that range.

There will be one more part for 10²¹, several months worth of tasks - it will check largest prime factors > 10¹⁴ to confirm that all amicable numbers are already found in that range.

As for 10²² - I'm not sure it's feasible. The current search took 6 years, so 10²² should take more than 60 years (the scaling is a bit worse than linear)...

What has happened to the "discovered pairs badges"? I have crunched millions and my discovered pairs badge has stopped at 100??

My question was more : since you run it standalone, how can it be that "127658160073" is the only parameter needed to feed "all the data to the task" ?

In other words : when ran via boinc as a task, the only parameters sent to boinc to run the executable are "127658160073" ?

Yes PowerShell is a shell/terminal same as good old cmd.exe from windows, the purpose is the same.

Good you could make it :)

I'm not sure to understand the concept of running amicable "standalone", so the "127658160073" in the launch parameters = the details of the task that would receive from the project and run ?

For that specific WU, just run

Amicable_OpenCL_v_3_09.exe /lpr 127658160073 127658185709 /task_size 200102005550

In a separate folder, then check the output. One of the files will have start/stop timestamps.

Can you try to run the same WU again, manually? And without anything else running on the PC. I think it was a random fluctuation not related to the WU itself.

GPUs are much faster with part 3 WUs (less than 2 minutes on RTX 4090),

With part 3 is there going to be any change to the credit awarded?

I hope so. My RAC is dropping like a stone! <g>

Funny... I've had long WUs these last days but today I've done more than 10 WUs in less than1 minute each.

First time it happens, is that okay? Before that I was around 20 minutes. (RTX 3060)

I'll split all huge tasks into smaller ones and reissue them.

yeah i recently have gotten some huge estimates for completion. According to the current estimate , it says it will be 7,438 days to complete. My hardware is not that bad.

Do i just abort those long ones? Like if task wont get done by the 'deadline'?
