TEST MENU
测试菜单

The PrimeNet menu choice lets you configure the type of work you get from the server. The "Use PrimeNet..." option can be turned on to switch from the manual method to the automatic method. The "Request whatever..." box should be left checked. However, if you are running a slow computer and don't mind waiting several months for a single Lucas-Lehmer test to complete OR you are running a faster computer and would rather do factoring, then uncheck this box and choose a different type of work to do. The "Always have at least this many days of work queued up" value should be changed based on how often you connect to the Internet. As long as you connect at least once in the given time period, prime95 will have an uninterrupted stream of work. However, the program will not checkout more than 20 exponents no matter what this value is set at.
PrimeNet 菜单 该菜单让你配置从服务器获得工作的类型. 选中"使用 PrimeNet 获得工作并报告结果"复选框将从手工的方法转变为自动的方法. "自动判断工作类型"复选框最好让它保持选中. 当然, 如果你使用较慢的计算机, 并且你不介意等待一个 Lucas-Lehmer 测试计算好几个月, 或者你宁愿使用较快的计算机进行因子分解, 你也可以不选中该复选框并且选择一个不同的工作. "工作队列至少保持多少天"的值基于你多久连接因特网一次而设定, 只要你在给出的时间以前至少连接因特网一次, Prime95 就能够不间断地进行工作. 无论如何, 不管该值设为多少, 本程序不会事先取得超过 20 个指数.

The User Information menu choice lets you change your name and email address. Your name will be used in credits and "top producers" web pages. Your email address may be used to send you a newsletter once every few months. Select the "Receive occasional newsletters..." checkbox to enable these emails. The userid you use will appear in the status pages on the PrimeNet server. You can also set the ComputerID field if you have several computers and want to keep track of which computers produced which results. You can create a team by choosing the "Create a team..." checkbox. The user name you entered becomes the team name and a message is sent to the server which prevents the team name from changing. Thus, you can handout the userid and password for others to join your team and these team members are not able to accidentally or maliciously change the team name that appears on the statistics page.
用户信息菜单 该菜单让你填写你的姓名和电子邮件地址. 你的姓名将用于credits和"top producers"网页中. 你的电子邮件地址可能用于每隔几个月发送一次新闻给你. 选中"通过电子邮件从 PrimeNet 服务器接收不定期的新闻"复选框就可以收到这些电子邮件. 你使用的用户标识将出现在 PrimeNet 服务器的状态页面中. 如果你有多台计算机并且想跟踪哪台计算机计算出哪个结果, 也可以填写计算机标识栏. 你也可以通过选中"使用以上信息创建团队“复选框, 从而创建一个团队。 你填写的用户名成为团队名称。服务器会受到这个信息,并且团队的名称是不能改变的。也就是说,你可以公布用户标识和密码,以便别人加入你的团队。但是,团队的其他成员不能更改出现在统计页面的团队名称。

The Vacation/Holiday menu choice lets prime95 update the expected completion dates on the PrimeNet server. This will prevent one of your exponents from being reassigned while you're gone. Also, if you are taking a long vacation, prime95 will get extra exponents to test. For example, if you are leaving for a 6 week vacation, connect to the Internet and choose 42 days.
假日设置菜单 该菜单让 prime95 更新在 PrimeNet 服务器上的预期完成天数. 这将防止当你度假时你的指数被重新分配给别人. 也就是说, 如果你去度一个长假, prime95 将取得额外的指数进行测试. 举例来说, 如果你要离开去度一个六周的假期, 请连接到因特网并填写 42 天.
选择该菜单项后, 将弹出一个对话框:

If you are going on a lengthy vacation and your computer will not be running or your computer will not be connected to the Internet, then the PrimeNet server may need to be informed of new expected completion dates.
如果你将去度一个长假, 并且你的计算机将关机, 或者你的计算机将不能连接到因特网, PrimeNet 服务可能需要知道新的预期完成天数的信息.
Please make sure you are connected to the Internet long enough to send the new completion dates.
请确保你连接到因特网足够长的时间以便发送新的完成天数.
Days of vacation: [7 ]
假期的天数:[7 ]
[ ] Computer will be on druing your absence.
[ ] 在你离开的时候计算机将开着
如果不选中该复选框, PrimeNet 认为你度假时计算机将关机, 如果选中该复选框, PrimeNet 认为你度假时计算机仍然开机.
The Status menu choice will tell you what exponents you are working on. It will also estimate how long that will take and your chances of finding a new Mersenne prime.
状态菜单 该菜单告诉你正在计算哪些指数. 它也估计需要计算多长时间, 以及发现一个新的梅森素数的概率是多少.
选择该菜单项后, 将弹出一个对话框:

Below is a report on the work you have queued and any expected completion dates.
下面是你的工作队列和预期完成时间的报告
M15901447,Lucas-Lehmer test,Sun Jun 23 13:36 2002
M15901447,Lucas-Lehmer 测试, 星期日 2002年06月23日 13:36分
The chance that the exponent you are testing will yield a Mersenne prime is about 1 in 143369.
你正在测试的指数产生一个梅森素数的概率是 1/143369.
The Continue menu choice lets you resume prime95 after you have stopped it.
继续计算菜单 该菜单在你停止 prime95 计算后让你恢复它的运行.
The Stop menu choice lets you stop the program. When you continue, you will pick up right where you left off. This is the same as hitting the ESC key.
停止计算菜单 该菜单让你停止本程序的运行. 当如继续计算的时间, 将正确地在你停止的位置重新开始计算. 按 ESC 键也可以达到同样的目的.
ADVANCED MENU
高级菜单

You should not need to use the Advanced menu. This menu choice is provided only for those who are curious to play with. To avoid confusion for novice users, all the choices in the Advanced menu have been grayed. Please read this section if you want to know what the Advanced menu choices do. To turn on the Advanced menu, use the Advanced Password dialog box and enter a value of 9876. Also note that many of the menu choices are grayed while testing is in progress. Choose Test/Stop to activate these menu choices.
一般情况下没有必要使用高级菜单。高级菜单是为那些好奇的人准备的。为了不给新手造成混乱,高级菜单中的菜单项是灰的(不可使用)。想了解高级菜单能做些什么,就请往下看吧。要使用高级菜单,请在“Password”菜单项的对话框中输入“9876”。请注意,在计算指数时,高级菜单的许多菜单项仍然是不可用的。在测试菜单(Test)中选择Stop停止计算,就可以使用这些菜单项了。

The Test choice can be used to run a Lucas-Lehmer test on one Mersenne number. Enter the Mersenne number's exponent - this must be a prime number between 5 and 79300000.
测试菜单项(Test)用来运行梅森素数的双L测试。在对话框中输入梅森素数的指数即可,这个指数是5至79300000之间的素数。
(例如你输入13,就会对M13做双L测试,完成后会自动启动当前的计算任务。)

The Time choice can be used to see how long each iteration of a Lucas-Lehmer test will take on your computer and how long it will take to test a given exponent. For example, if you want to know how long a Lucas-Lehmer test will take to test the exponent 876543, choose Advanced/Time and enter 876543 for 100 iterations.
时间菜单项(Time)用来估计在你的计算机上,一个给定指数的双L测试的每个迭代需要多长时间,以及完成这个指数的双L测试总共需要多长时间。
(对话框中,在 Exponent to time 后面填入你要估计时间的指数,Number of Iterations 填入迭代次数。如果分别填入876543和100,则对指数876543做100次迭代,给出每次迭代的用时,及计算这个指数总共需要多长时间。注意,与上一项不同,完成后不会自动启动当前的计算任务。)

The ECM choice lets you factor Mersenne numbers using the Elliptic Curve Method of factoring. Select a few exponents and bounds to factor from the http://www.mersenne.org/ecm.htm web pages.
椭圆曲线方法菜单项(ECM)用椭圆曲线方法(ECM)对梅森数分解因子。打开网页http://www.mersenne.org/ecm.htm,点击页面底部的两个ECM链接之一,从中选择指数(exponent)及边界(bound),填入对话框中,按“OK”进行因子分解。

Note: You do not reserve exponents to work on, several people can do ECM factoring on the same exponent. The program uses a random number generator to select elliptic curves to test. You must email results to me at [email protected] - PrimeNet does not support ECM factoring.
注意: 因为其他人可能也在用同样的指数进行ECM分解,所以不要一次取得多个指数留着以后分解。程序会随机挑选椭圆曲线进行计算。ECM分解的结果无法通过PrimeNet传送,请将结果用E-mail发送到: [email protected]。
WARNING: ECM does not adhere to the memory limits specified in the Options/CPU dialog box. ECM requires a minimum of 192 times the FFT size. Thus, ECM factoring of F20 which uses a 64K FFT will use a minimum of 192 * 64K or 12MB of memory.
警告: Options菜单的CPU菜单项中设置的内存限制对ECM不起作用。ECM至少需要FFT的192倍的内存。从而,ECM分解64K FFT的F20至少需要192*64K=128M的内存。
You can also edit the worktodo.ini file directly. For example:
ECM=751,3000000,0,100,0,0,0,0
The first value is the exponent. The second value is bound #1. The third value is bound #2 - leave it as zero. The fourth value is the number of curves to test. The fifth value is no longer used. The sixth value is the specific curve to test - it is only used in debugging. The seventh value is 0 for 2^N-1 factoring, 1 for 2^N+1 factoring. The eighth value is no longer used.
也可以直接编辑worktodo.ini文件,例如:
ECM=751,3000000,0,100,0,0,0,0
第1个数是指数;第2个数是边界#1;第3个数是边界#2(总是填0);第4个数是曲线;第5个数不用;第6个数是特殊曲线(仅用于调试);第7个数: 0意味着做2^N-1分解,1意味着做2^N+1分解;第8个数不用。
The P-1 choice lets you factor Mersenne numbers using the P-1 method of factoring. There is presently no web site which tells you how much P-1 factoring has already been done on exponents.
P-1菜单项(P-1)用P-1方法分解梅森数。目前还没有网页公布哪些指数已经做过P-1分解。
You can also edit the worktodo.ini file directly. For example:
Pminus1=751001,1000000,0,0,0
The first value is the exponent. The second value is bound #1. The third value is bound #2. The fourth value is 0 for 2^N-1 factoring, 1 for 2^N+1 factoring. The fifth value is no longer used.
也可以直接编辑worktodo.ini文件,例如:
Pminus1=751001,1000000,0,0,0
第1个数是指数;第2个数是边界#1;第3个数是边界#2;第4个数: 0意味着做2^N-1分解,1意味着做2^N+1分解;第5个数不用。

Round off checking. This option will slow the program down by about 15%. This option displays the smallest and largest "convolution error". The convolution error must be less than 0.49 or the results will be incorrect. There really is no good reason to turn this option on.
舍入检查选项(Round off checking)勾上该选项将使用程序运行速度下降约15%。该选项显示最小及最大的“卷折错误”。卷折错误必须小于0.49,否则计算结果就不正确了。勾上该选项可不是什么好主意。
The Priority menu is used to adjust the priority prime95 runs at. You should not need to change this. You might raise the priority if you (or your coworker) just cannot live without a screen saver (bad idea), or if you are running some ill-behaved program that is using CPU cycles for no good reason.
优先级菜单项(Priority)用来调整prime95的运行优先级。你没有必要改变其默认值。但是如果遇到下面的两种情况,那么您有必要提高优先级的数值,一是您或者您的同事不能没有屏幕保护程序(这可是个坏想法),二是您在运行一些本来没有必要耗CPU处理能力的程序。

优先级的数值是1到10,1最低,10最高。屏幕保护程序的优先级是4,大多数应用程序的优先级是9。强烈建议prime95使用默认优先级1,因为提高它的优先级并不会加快它的运行速度。仅当屏幕保护程序之类的其他程序从prime95中偷取CPU时间时,才需要提高prime95的优先级。
建议: 最好不要使用屏幕保护程序,否则应该提高prime95的优先级。
The Manual Communication menu choice should only be used if the automatic detection of an Internet connection is not working for you. Using this option means you have to remember to communicate with the server every week or two (by using this same menu choice).
手工通讯菜单项(Manual Communication)只有当自动检测因特网连接不成功时才需要使用。如果是这样,您要记得每一周或两周用这个菜单项和服务器通讯一次。

对话框中的英文的大意是:
[ ]不要自动与PrimeNet服务器连接
[ ]现在连接PrimeNet服务器
[ ]向PrimeNet服务器发送您正在进行的计算的预计完成日期
The Unreserve Exponent choice lets you tell the server to unreserved an exponent you have been assigned. You might do this if a second computer you had been running GIMPS on died or if you had been assigned an exponent of one work type (such as a first-time-test) and now you have switched to another work type (such as 10,000,000 digit numbers). Any work you have done on the unreserved exponent will be lost.
归还指数菜单项(Unreserve Exponent)告知服务器收回一个分配给您的指数。这样做的理由可能是:您用于运行GIMPS的另一台计算机坏了,或者您想做另一种类型的计算(比如计算千万位的数),不想要原先分配到的那种类型的指数了。被归还的指数中您做过的计算都将丢失。

对话框中的英文的大意是: 仅当您不能完成这个指数的计算时才归还它。这个指数将被分配给其他人。如果您还在计算一个分配给其他人的指数那是不公平的。
The Quit GIMPS menu choice is used when you no longer want this computer to work on the GIMPS project. You may rejoin at a later date. If you are a Prime Net user your unfinished work will be returned to the server. If you are a manual user, you need to send me email containing your results.txt file and a note saying you are quitting.
退出GIMPS菜单项(Quit GIMPS)您不再使用这台计算机为GIMPS项目工作时从这里退出。迟些时候您也可以重新加入。如果您是用PrimeNet与服务器通讯的,您未完成的工作将被自动返还给服务器。如果您是手工通讯用户,则需要发电子邮件给管理者,告知您退出该项目,并同时发送results.txt。
该菜单项的对话框有两种形式:
(1)如果您使用PrimeNet与服务器连接,也就是在Test菜单PrimeNet菜单项的对话框中勾上“使用 PrimeNet 获得工作并报告结果”选项

则Advanced菜单Quit GIMPS菜单项的对话框是这样的:

您决定这台计算机退出GIMPS项目。使用该用户ID的其他计算机不受影响。
在卸载prime95前,请确认您目前的计算结果被成功地发送给服务器(请放心,程序在连接服务器时将空闲着啥也不做,不会空循环浪费您的CPU时间)。如果不能确认,请把results.txt文件发送给[email protected]。
您可以选择在完成当前分配给您的指数计算后退出GIMPS,或立即退出GIMPS。您是否愿意在退出GIMPS前完成当前分配给您的计算工作?
[center][是(Y)] [否(N)] [取消][/center]
注意: 不论选择“是”还是“否”都会导致退出GIMPS项目,选择“是”完成当前分配给您的指数计算后退出GIMPS,选择“否”立即退出GIMPS。如果您不小心使用了“Quit GIMPS”菜单项,请选择“取消”回到 Prime95。
(2)如果您手工获得指数,手工提交结果,也就是在Test菜单PrimeNet菜单项的对话框中不勾上“使用 PrimeNet 获得工作并报告结果”选项

则Advanced菜单Quit GIMPS菜单项的对话框是这样的:

您决定这台计算机退出GIMPS项目。使用该用户ID的其他计算机不受影响。请把results.txt文件发送给[email protected]。
您确实要退出GIMPS吗?
[center][是(Y)] [否(N)][/center]
此时,选择“是”将立即退出GIMPS项目,您需要手工提交现有的计算结果(results.txt文件)。选择“否”就不会退出GIMPS。
OPTIONS MENU
选项菜单

The CPU menu choice lets you tell the program how often the program will run and how much memory the program can use. The dialog box also displays your CPU type, speed, and capabilities.
CPU选项菜单中可以设置程序运行的时间周期以及允许程序使用的内存的数量。在对话框中同时显示了你的cpu的型号,运算速度和性能

The Preferences menu choice lets you control how often a line is written to the main window and how often a line is written to the results file. It also lets you change how often intermediate files (to guard against power failure and crashes) are created. You can control how often the program checks to see if you are connected to the Internet. The program polls whenever it has new data to send to or work to get from the PrimeNet server. If you are low on disk space, you can select one intermediate file instead of two. However, if you crash in the middle of writing the one intermediate file, you may have to restart an exponent from scratch. You can also tell the program to be quiet, rather than beeping like crazy, if a new Mersenne prime is found. You can also make prime95 go idle whenever your laptop is running on battery power (does not work under Windows NT/2000/XP).
Preferences选项菜单允许您控制多久将运算进程写入主窗口和多久将运算进程写入输出文件中。此外也可以设置临时文件(用于保证在断电或者死机的情况下的文件保存)的数目。通过它可以控制程序检测你连网的状态。程序会自动检测什么时候会有数据发送出去或者从主网络服务器中索取新的任务。在您的磁盘空间有限的情况下,可以选择一个中间文件而不是两个。然而,若在程序将数据写入中间文件过程中断电或死机,那么您必须从头开始计算。你可以使程序在找到新的梅生质数的时候处于安静的状态而非不停的"嘟嘟"的报警音。你也可以让该程序在笔记本电脑由电池供电的时候停止运行(在Windows NT/2000/XP无效).

上图中从上往下依次是:
屏幕输出的反复间隔
计算结果文件输出的间隔
写入磁盘的分钟间隔数
调制解调器重试的分钟间隔数
网络重试分钟间隔数
发送结束时间的间隔天数
创建两个备份文件
找道新的梅生质数的时候发出报警音
在使用笔记本备用电源的时候也运行程序
The Benchmark choice times the program on several FFT lengths. You can then compare your computer's speed to others list at http://www.mersenne.org/bench.htm
条形选项测试着程序在几个fft长度下的运行速度.您可以把您自己的电脑的运算速度与以下列表中的做以比较http://www.mersonne.org/bench.html
The Torture Test choice will run a continuous self-test. This is great for testing machines for hardware problems.
极限检测选项可以进行连续的自测.这对于排查硬件问题很重要.
The Tray Icon choice will cause prime95 to have a small icon on the taskbar when it is minimized. You can activate or hide the program by double-clicking on the small icon. If you place the cursor over the small icon, a tooltip will display the current status.
托盘图标选项可以在对该程序进行最小化后于任务栏上显示一个小图标.您可以通过双击该图标激活隐藏的程序.当你将鼠标放在该图标上时一个小工具提示框会显示当前的状态.
The No Icon choice is only enabled if the Advanced Menu is activated with the password. Using this menu choice means there will be no prime95 icon on the taskbar once you minimize the program - making it very hard to reactivate! You can reactivate the program by trying to execute prime95 a second time. Alternatively, you can turn this feature off by editing prime.ini and change the line "HideIcon=1" to "HideIcon=0", then reboot.
无图标选项只有在高级菜单已经激活的情况下生效.该选项将导致系统托盘区的Prime95图标消失,从而很难重新打开程序窗口。您可以通过第二次运行该程序或者编辑prime.ini文件中的"HideIcon=1"成为"HideIcon=0"并重启来打开程序窗口.
Checking the Start at Bootup menu choice will run prime95 as a service that is started when your computer boots up. Windows NT/2000/XP users need administrator privileges to use this feature. This method of starting prime95 is better than creating a shortcut to prime95 in the startup folder. That is because services run even when no one is logged on. These are the details you should be aware of:
选中自启动项可以使机器开机时自动运行该程序.在WindowsNT/2000/XP系统中需要管理员权限才可以修改这一属性.这种方法优于创建快捷方式的做法,因为在没有用户登陆的情况下服务已经开始运行了.以下是需要注意的地方:
In Windows 95/98/Me:
The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices registry entry is created. You will not be able to tell any difference between prime95 running as a service and prime95 running as an ordinary process.
在Windows 95/98/me中:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices 注册项被创建.你不会发现在以服务方式运行与普通进程方式运行有什么不同之处.
In Windows NT/2000/XP (without administrator privileges):
In this case the menu text is changed to "Start at Logon". The HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run is created. Prime95 will run only when you are logged in.
在Windows NT/2000/XP中(无管理员权限):
在这种情形下菜单项变为"登录时启动".
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run注册项被创建.程序只会在你登录期间运行.
In Windows NT/2000/XP (with administrator privileges):
There are a few minor quirks when running as a service. You shouldn't run into these quirks in normal operation. You can only change this option once and it will take effect when the service is started or stopped. You will need to exit prime95 running as a normal process before starting the prime95 service. Finally, the prime95 window will only appear on one users desktop. Only one prime95.exe program can be run as a service. If you have a dual processor system you'll want to run two instances of prime95. Instead of running a second prime95 from another directory, run the second prime95 from the same directory with the -A1 switch (go to a DOS window and type “prime95 –A1”). Finally, if you are worried about giving users access to a GUI service running in the Local System account, you can turn off the "Allow service to interact with desktop" option in the services control panel applet or run the GUI-less NT service version available at http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm. These options are more secure than using the No Icon menu choice.
在Windows NT/2000/XP中(有管理员权限):
你只可以修改它一次,在停止或重新开启程序时生效.在以服务方式运行程序之前你要结束以普通进程方式运行该程序.最后,程序的窗口只会出现在一个用户桌面上.只有一个程序可以以服务的方式运行.如果你的机器有双cpu你也许需要运行两个这种程序.只要在同一个目录中dos下键入"prime95-A1"即可而不必要在另外的目录中运行.
最后,如果你担心用户访问在本地系统帐户中运行的GUI服务你可以在服务控制版中将"Allow service to interact with desktop"选项禁止或者运行无GUI版本(http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm 有下载).以上的选项设置比使用"无图标"选项更加安全. |
