[QUOTE=Dubslow;293588]Nope, it's randomly gone back to E=12, and for my most recent result (as of this post, the file is a symlink), it didn't print E at all.

[QUOTE=Dubslow;293625]Huh, it had one random E=6 overnight.[/QUOTE]

I take it back, it appears to be correlated with exponent. I'm not sure what the actual boundary is, but 49M has so far been a good separator. Below that, I get E=6, above that, I get E=12, as well as a 45M that reported no E at all. Weird. I'll go through my [URL="http://dubslow.tk/gimps/old-results.txt"]old results[/URL] and see if there are any other correlations; preliminarily, I found M45520697 with E=12 (edit: and M45063679, M46104649), however all the rest under 49M appear to have E=6; I also found M52479659 without any E reported (edit: M52144357 has no E, nor do M52220219, M52567117). It seems that this 49M rule mostly applies, but not always. Thoughts?

(Request: Prime95 report version when recording results? As far as these files are concerned, I typically upgraded within a day of a new version coming out, excepting 27.1.)

If my P-1 code include an extra 2 and 3 in the E found using a given bound, will that throw off the result?

No, it's called the Brent-Suyama extension to the P-1 algorithm.

The more memory you have available, the higher E you get -- Prime95 is able to select (I believe) E=2,3,4,6,8,12. Most of us doing serious amounts of P-1 get E=6 or 12. (3 GiB gives me E=6, and 10 GiB gives me E=12, for standard LL-size exponents).

What it does is allows certain possible factor candidates above B2 to be tested, but not all of them -- that would just be a higher B2. [URL="http://mersenne-aries.sili.net/exponent.php?exponentdetails=325517"]This[/URL], [URL="http://mersenne-aries.sili.net/exponent.php?exponentdetails=7175153"]this[/URL] and [URL="http://mersenne-aries.sili.net/exponent.php?factordetails=3546977485247966555997217"]this[/URL] are examples of a factor found with the Brent-Suyama extension -- note how the largest factor of k is in all cases (significantly) larger than B2.

P-1 factoring with cuda, anybody? :P

This is my first tentative, it can not handle numbers higher then 64 bits in an efficient manner, and there are lots and lots of things I don't know, about both cuda and the math... but I am learning...

Here is what you can get with a B1 up to 10k, and a B2 about 100 times larger, and if no factor is found after that, I still do a couple of squares (what is shown as stage 2b) so, first is the exponent (below 400), second is the factor found. Note that the factors may be composite (for such a small exponents the bounds are too large).

Give it to me!

So when does the OpenCL version come out! :wink:

[QUOTE=Batalov;293589]It would be preferable if you guys wouldn't shorten Brent-Suyama to BS.
(B.Sc. to BS is OK, that's pretty much fair in my book.)[/QUOTE]
BS here (and quite probably elsewhere) has only one meaning:

I just had an interesting P-1 find, [URL]http://mersenne-aries.sili.net/exponent.php?exponentdetails=8598691[/URL], which I am guessing is a B-S find, since the bounds used were 100,000 and 1,825,000, and it's listed as needing a minimum 12,796,033 B2.

If you submit your results to the site it would be graphed more clearly (the graph currently only shows the previous P-1 bounds).
