apgsearch v2.2

I'm getting this error at compile-time:

Reinstall cygwin with the required packages but check the box at says "dwnload dependencies". I had this problem when I first compiled apgsearch

This indicates you're not using a 64-bit toolchain. Be sure to use a 64-bit OS / distribution, on an x86_64 machine.

If you're using Cygwin, make sure it's the 64-bit version as well. (Both the 32- and 64-bit versions can be installed side-by-side, BTW, so if you already have the 32-bit version you can leave that in place.)

Well, that fixed the compile-time issues. But now running it from cygwin does absolutely nothing, and running it from command prompt gives me an "invalid application" error.

[SuperJedi224]

Alright, after some work I was able to get the python version working. I would still like to know why the C++ version isn't working though.

Did running make work? It should've output the following:

If not, what does the file command report for apgnano.exe ? Here's what I get on Cygwin:

Is there a way to "stop/quit" apgnano?

[danieldb]

Is there a way to "stop/quit" apgnano?

Ctfl+C then Alt+F4. Also happy birthday

[gameoflifeboy]

Maybe one for finding the Nth object, where N is some auspicious number, such as a 6th or higher power, or any power of a number less than 20; also maybe one for contributing the first soup in a new rule or symmetry, or the first oscillator of a certain period in any rule (Does anyone know what the smallest period is that has not been found yet by apgsearch in any rule is?).

At least 32.

A p32

I guess at least 41, then.

Here's a P41, so it's at least 47 now.

[Saka]

Hmm... I wonder if there will ever be a soup that turns into a still life (I mean like the whole soup just turns into a still life), that would:make a 16x16 still life

Apparently, apgnano.exe is an empty file on my end. Time to recompile! (again.)

Edit: And now (after getting all the compile-time output you said to expect) I seem to have a 414-KB executable- that still does nothing in cygwin. And command prompt is complaining about a missing procedure entry point in cygstdc++-6.dll.

[calcyman]

What do you mean by 'does nothing'? What happens, specifically, when you run:

Code: Select all

./apgnano

[SuperJedi224]

What do you mean by 'does nothing'? What happens, specifically, when you run:

Code: Select all

./apgnano

It prints a single empty line to the console and then immediately terminates.

[Saka]

You have to run make in the directory where the makefile is in. You seem to be running Cygwin outside the apgnano directory. Go into apgnano directory, navigate to where the source file is in (e.g. if it's in apgnano do "cd apgnano". If it's in apgnano/src, do "cd apgnano/src" ...), and then you can run make.

Ahhh... thanks! I got it now

PS late reply

[SuperJedi224]

I would like to suggest the adition of a search by pattern name feature to the website

[gameoflifeboy]

I'd like that too, but I'd like a search by RLE even more, because some patterns can have more than one name.
I'd also like a way to search comments.

[Saka]

I would like to suggest some features for future apgsearch programs:
-An -r option which specifies the rule
-An -s option which specifies symmetry
-Typing "stop" in the command line will stop apgsearch, just like typing q with the python script
-A no-compilation required .exe
-Typing "census" to see current census in new window.

[Billabob]

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned that the Catagolue has reached 30 trillion objects.

[thunk]

Hmm. I seem to be experiencing an issue where my apgnano instances are gradually slowing down.
I am running two computers with 12 cores total-- on my desktop, the average time between 10^7-soup hauls was about 210 minutes in October, with most other programs shut down. Now, with roughly the same setup, it's about 225-230 minutes.

The same goes for my laptop-- haul time has gone up from 200 to 230 minutes as well. This has caused total production to decline from 17.5 to 15.5 Gobj/d (10^9 objects per day).

Do y'all have any idea what could be causing this?

[SuperJedi224]

Does anyone know what the minimum soup count for a haul is?

[drc]

Does anyone know what the minimum soup count for a haul is?

100000.

[SuperJedi224]

Does anyone know what the minimum soup count for a haul is?

100000.

Okay, that's fine for Life, but there are rules for which 100,000 soups is just ridiculous.

[SuperJedi224]

Yeah, I just finished running the python version on a nonstandard rule (B478/S1234) and when I quit the script I think it kind of froze Golly on me...

[wildmyron]

Does anyone know what the minimum soup count for a haul is?

The minimum accepted by Catagolue is 10 000, as confirmed by calcyman here. You will need to modify the Python script to be able to specify 10 000 soup hauls. You should also keep in mind Alexey's comments regarding symmetric soup searches in Day and Night:

I am now going to switch to C4 symmetries. If you want to help me in my search then (A) thank you and (B) you will need to modify apgsearch so that it agrees to send 10000-soup hauls. This piece of code is near the end, right below the place where you can hardcode inputs. Remember, however, that you are solely responsible for any DDoS attacks you initiate, and it may thus be a good idea not to upload Day & Night soups 24/7.

[SuperJedi224]

Found in the comments on the python script:

unless it persists another 2^18 gens, which is so unbelievably improbable that you are more likely to be picked up by a passing ship in the vacuum of space
