Great, thanks for posting the Config File.
Current Status: NOTE:  We are double checking old SoB work and tasks may be much shorter than typical SoB tasks.
This is what it means:
We're well beyond the point where the SoB project thoroughly double checked their work, so finding a missed prime is a possibility.
Two of their primes were found while double checking their prior work.
Will we find a third?
 
On my Core i7-5960X using 12 Threads HT is ON Running 1 Tasks about 6 Hours
On my Xeon(R) CPU E5-2667 v4 using 8 Cores 2 HT is OFF Running 2 Tasks about 16 Hours
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v4 using 12 Cores 2 HT is OFF Running 2 Tasks about 8 Hours
On my AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6180 SE using 24 Cores Running 2 Tasks about 3.5+ Days
On my AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6180 SE using 48 Cores Running 1 Tasks about 2.5+ Days
 
Sadly I will not have my X299 Core i9 7940X Processor Rig up and running for this Challenge.

The trick to Multithread is to try to keep the task in the CPUs cache memory and not have it go to stick or disk more than it has to.
So a single processor run one task, 2P system run 2 tasks, 4P run 4 tasks
I have found on my 2P 2011 8 cores each, I have ran with and without HT, normally HT on helps some
HT on or off depends on the size of the task, it may not scale up to 16 threads very well.
I am going to leave HT off I think. I may try it both ways.
Trying to get the other Mother boards swapped out still
Also trying to get all the PG projects under one app_config file so I do not have to keep changing them

This is going to be a Hard Challenge Team and we need to keep the pace as best as we can.

"Core Parking" In Case some have forgotten.
Registry key
 
0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c­318583
ValueMax = 0
ValueMin = 0
 
The Default for ValueMax = 100 and you want it Zero.
This includes Window 7-10 and Server 2007 R2 - 2016.

So what is this about?
 
Edit - Ok I googled it and understand.
 

I believe I turn off C6 in my bios, but good to check the registry also.  Thanks for the reminder.
 
Edit - I did find that windows decided one of my machines needed to revert to the 388.13 in the last 2 days though.

I have everything over c1 disabled in the BIOS
So do I need to check? I have every core maxed most of the time anyway.

It Would not hurt to check the Registry keys posted above, their is 2 sometimes 3 to change.
It is easy to see in Windows 7 and Server OS
Image On The Way. (Somewhat like this) As Shown in Resource Monitor in Windows 7 & Server 2007 R2

Just got home and realized it was go time just over an hour ago. Release the CPUs!

Same Here - Let the games begin!!

Same Here, everyone have a Safe & Fun New Years Eve and a Great New Year for 2018 for You and Yours.

 i9-7980XE CPU Is Kicking But..... Link   i9-900X Doing Well First Task Completed I think.
i9-7940X Nice Time as well.

My hardware does not like this project. I'm in but 50% after 12 hours? That's the fastest one. Crazy slow.
One Linux rig won't take the app_config so will drop 4 tasks 5 days from now.

Happy New Year!🎈

turning on PG now ^_^.

My one system will take 14.5 days per task!!!
I have a feeling it will be a little faster, I hope.

I have about 25 hours till I drop some.

The Ryzen will be even longer.

FYI on my Ryzen 7 1800X (807978) I have SMT Off (HT) and running 6 Cores Taking a little over 15 Hours.
Run time 54,321.00
CPU time 311,593.42
