Out of WUs, but I didn't see a message saying the project was going to take a brake :)

Hello!

Yes, the running Application stops.

The actual project manager Demis has been banned for systematically ignoring the administrator's questions regarding the essence of the project.

In addition, the running Application has exhausted itself.
This is too small a search range - up to 2^64.

We go further along the search range, where more interesting solutions can be found.

I suggested Demis to launch a second Application in the project for a larger search range, but he did not do it.
However, the proposal was made from the very beginning of the project.

As a result, a new BOINC project ODLK2025 was launched, which is a continuation of the SPT project at a higher level.

I suggest all participants who want to continue supporting this project to switch their capacities to the BOINC project ODLK2025
https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/

I thank everyone for participating in the project!

I thank Corporal (termit) for agreeing to start a new BOINC project!
It was not easy.

The SPT project server will probably be shut down.
Unfortunately, Corporal does not have the ability to administer two BOINC projects at once.
He simply does not have enough time for this work.

PS.

December 23, 2024 I suddenly see this message from Demis
https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/forum_thread.php?id=83&postid=953

It is possible, but not a fact, that we will reconsider this point when launching a new application for the range 2^64-2^127.
This application is still under development.
The current application can only count up to 2^64-1 (uint64_t=18,446,744,073,709,551,615).
This is a limitation of the primesieve library, which is a prime number generator for the matrix.

I was very surprised.

A new application is being developed?
But why develop it if it has been ready for a long time and only needed to be launched?

I asked a question, but Demis ignored it.

Description of BOINC project ODLK2025 is published here

https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/forum_thread.php?id=3&postid=5

Quote
The ODLK25 is a subproject of the BOINC project Symmetric Prime Tuples (SPT)
https://boinc.termit.me/adsl/

By the way, I would like to note that the ODLK2025 project does not require a large amount of RAM.
