PrimeGrid - Email problems

Détails
For a little while now, we've been having some problems with outgoing email failing intermittently. All emails from the server seem to have been affected. This includes emails for finding primes, private messages, friend requests, forum subscriptions, and so forth. We're working on it, but as of now we don't understand the root cause and therefore we do not have an ETA for when it will be fixed.

Minecraft@home - Xoroshiro128++ - New version available, new input data

Détails
Hi everyone,

As I'm sure was noticed, there's a 2nd version of the "xoroshigo" project denoted by v1.1.
This new version has had changes made to its input variables that made it incompatible with the old version, so we could not run it as an updated version of the same app.

That being said, after extensive testing, we've deployed v1.02 of xoroshigo2(or v1.1.1.02, depending on who you ask) to production.
I believe there should also be a potential fix for the issue where work would not suspend when changes are made to computing preferences or work is just simply suspended.

The most notable change is that a member of our team, Andrew, developed a port of one of the most expensive functions (95+% of execution time spent in this function) used in the app to run it as native code for a 20x speedup.
We've cranked the dials, so tasks should be roughly the same size as before, but you may experience runtime variances compared to before. Overall this just means you're completing 20x what you used to in the same amount of time (cheaper on compute resources) - so the credit values are remaining the same.

There is also now an aarch64 build of this app available. We've made best efforts to test this with our limited aarch64 machines, so if any issues are encountered, please let us know.

Finally, I wanted to mention that as of now, we're enforcing a GLIBC 2.17 or above requirement for our apps going forward. I've built a lot of CI test harnesses over the last day or two that allow me to detect issues before they ever hit BOINC, and while I had been doing this already, there is now a check on our internal repo preventing any merges with binaries with a GLIBC over 2.17. This does also mean you'll need GLIBC 2.17 or higher to run the apps we build going forward.

Anyway, happy crunching! As always, please let us know if you run into any issues.

Minecraft@home - Xoroshiro128++ Guessing Order Optimization Project

Détails
You may have noticed some new workunits hit the queue. As of the time of writing, the workunits that are available should be considered "beta" as we're working out a few kinks.
That said, this is a new CPU app! As time goes on, we'll be replacing configuration files for it to further refine the results, so work will be sent out in stages and we'll feel out how much workunits make sense for each stage.

I've included a fairly technical explanation from the primary author of the app, MC, longtime contributor to Minecraft@Home:

The Xoroshiro Guessing Order project aims to uncover exploitable statistical weaknesses in the xoroshiro128++ pseudorandom number generator (PRNG). Recent versions of Minecraft now use xoroshiro128++ for specific aspects of world generation, replacing Java's default PRNG. Unfortunately, this shift creates significant challenges for seedcracking projects, as no efficient algorithm currently exists to reconstruct the internal state of xoroshiro from its outputs.

Our primary goal is to develop a reliable method for recovering the PRNG's 128-bit seed from just two sequential 64-bit outputs. Currently, the most efficient known method (excluding SAT solvers) involves guessing 54 bits of the state, after which the remaining bits can be derived, a process requiring roughly 9 quadrillion attempts on average. Our aim is to significantly reduce this computational requirement.

Xoroshiro128++ belongs to the "xorshift" family of PRNGs, which means its core operations are linear. The internal state can therefore be represented as a binary vector within a 128-dimensional vector space, with state transitions represented as matrix multiplications. However, the primary challenge arises from its use of a non-linear "scrambler" function, which maps the internal state to its output. Due to this scrambler, there is no straightforward one-to-one relationship between the 128-dimensional internal state and the 128-bit output.

Fortunately, the scrambler function is imperfect. Most of the information provided by each output bit is concentrated in a relatively small subset, approximately a dozen dimensions, of the total 128-dimensional state. Even with a partial, lower-dimensional guess of the state, it is frequently possible to determine whether the guess is incorrect based on the known output. If we can identify low-dimensional subsets of the state space that are significantly constrained by the outputs, we can efficiently guess and verify these smaller portions first, rapidly eliminating incorrect possibilities.

Participants in our project analyze these lower-dimensional subsets of the state space, identifying those subsets most constrained by observed outputs. To facilitate this process, we use a large precomputed table that estimates the amount of information (in bits) xoroshiro's output data provides about each subset of state dimensions.

By ultimately identifying an optimal sequence of highly constrained subspaces, we can incrementally guess the state one dimension at a time, discarding incorrect possibilities early on. Achieving this optimal guessing order would produce a highly efficient algorithm capable of recovering the PRNG's internal state within a small number of attempts, significantly advancing future efforts in Minecraft seedcracking and related research.

Minecraft@home - Loneliest Seed v1.08

Détails
Hi folks!

I know it's been a bit, life gets in the way sometimes. However, I've released v1.08 of the Loneliest Seed project which aims to address the checkpointing issue.

We're experimenting with a CPU project separate from this as well, so stay tuned for that! If the experiments go well on our end we're anticipating launching a CPU app that will aid us in our years-long research into finding methods of reversing PRNG states in the Xoroshiro128++ algorithm.

Best regards,
Minecraft@Home Team
