I think I'll start somewhere in this range....some day soon.
This is the current DC range so it can help there too.

A lot of these will have poor P-1; might be more efficient to start there?

So here's my plan....
 

I will be starting my little pet project within the next week with 2 GPUs and adding about 30 Cores a few weeks later.

I'll be working in the extremes ranges.
The bigger horses in the 40M and 50M ranges.
The side benefit is that this will reduce the number requiring DC.
The smaller ponies in the 2M range.

For the GPUs there are about 16,000 Assignments in the high 40's factored below the yellow bar: [url]http://www.mersenne.ca/status/tf/0/0/3/4000[/url]
I expect to find about 200 factors there.

For the faster cores with adequate RAM I will be P-1'ing exponents in that same range that were done with B1=B2. These seem to give better odds at finding a factor than doing P-1 where the B1 and B2 bounds were less than adequate.

I'll let a few slower cores dabble at the low end (2M) doing ECM.

If anyone is intrigued you are more than welcome to join in.
Keep me posted so we don't step on each other's toes.

See the first post for the details on this little initiative.

After conferring with Wayne, I have re-enabled DCTF on GPU72 to take the candidates from 48.8M to 50M up to (at least) 73 bits (the optimal economic cross-over point for contemporary GPUs). This is to help avoid any "toes being stepped on".

If anyone is interested, the DCTF manual assignments page has been re-enabled, and the spiders (MISFIT et al) can simply ask for DCTF work again.

For what it is worth, if been redoing P-1 on exponents that had their P-1 done with B1=B2 (usually on machines with no spare memory to do the higher B2 level). Almost all of it in the 10M to 20M range. Mostly with B1=300000 and B2=6000000. About one in 38 candidates yields a new found factor on a previously unfactored exponent.

Thanks....I'll note that and try not to step on your toes.

I realize my little sub-project is actually quite a massive undertaking that I couldn't dream of finishing in my lifetime.

But I understand that there are always people dabbling at factoring in these ranges:
- Some are doing TF in the 20M or 30M ranges; in fact most ranges.
- There is a steady stream of ECM in the 0M - 20M range.
- Others are doing P-1 here and there.

So we'll see where we are at end of 2018.

To compare: since the beginning of 2017 there have been 4,082 exponents newly factored under 60M.
- Over half of these in the 20-30M range.
- And another 30% under 10M

Oh, thanks, but I am not claiming any range, do go ahead.

Almost 8 weeks later...an update.
 

698 (1.25%) exponents factored in the ranges of interest....0 - 59.9M

1 range cleared (now below 2,000): 22.2M
Several with significant progress.

I am doing a lot of the TF in the under 10m block.

Have already done to 67 bits

3,5,6,7,8 & 9m to 67 bits. Someone else took 9m to 68 bits

2m is 2/3 the way to 67 bits. So about 100k'ish exponents so far.

Did quite a bit in the sub 1m range to lift them to 64 bits, but mfaktc doesn't work below 100k so would need to use the cpu - which is currently tied up doing the ecm stage 1's to keep the deep stage 2's going on M4007.

Below 100k all exponents have already been ECM'd to t=30 (about 100 bits), so only about a 37% chance of finding a factor smaller than 100 bits. So TF to 64 bits would have a very very low probability of finding any new factors.

Below 656k all exponents have already been ECM'd to t=25 (about 83 bits). Poor prospects for finding factors of 64 bits or smaller.

The above is for all exponents, including the ones that already have at least one known factor.

If we consider only exponents with no known factors, then everything below 1M has already been ECM'd to t=25.


Edit: also [URL="http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=19014&p=461679"]user TJAOI has covered everything up to 64 bits[/URL].

Good to know...however.

The lowest range of interest to my little subproject (getting all 100K ranges below 2,000 unfactored) is 1.8M
