Apparently! However, it missed the ETA by about 20hrs. I wonder why. I have some sleuthing to do once I get back.

I am curious:
What is the limit of ggnfs in terms of factoring? Can it go this high? I remember reading that 'major changes' were needed to go above a certain point.

It depends what you mean by 'ggnfs'.

Using ggnfs sieving and msieve completion (as is being done on this number so far), and with distributed sieving by members of this forum, I've done a c180 and a c177; it takes about ten CPU-years and about a month on a quad-core to finish the job. I've also done a c158 using only the computers in my study to demonstrate that one could. Above c140 the parameters in the factLat script weren't terribly good the last time I looked, so you had to do some trial runs to figure out better parameters.

Using just the ggnfs tools, I ran into trouble at the S200 level, which is around 140 digit SNFS; but that was mostly that the script was hitting quadratic-time problems loading in a huge number of processed relations, merging in a few more, saving out the processed relations ...

Surely S200 = 140 digit [B]G[/B]NFS?

I've done 2000 curves @ B1=3000000, B2=5706890290, and 512 curves @ B1=11000000, B2=35133391030 on the c146.

Probably around 5000 curves at 43M is in order.

Are you sure? I estimate that will take over 13 CPU days.

A little more P+/-1 work reported. I've also got two cores running ECM @43M.

whats happening with the c146?
there has been no action in the last few days

Lines 2411 to 2417 now in database.

Line 2418 is stuck on a c133.

i am currently running 2x100 curves @11M
they should be finished by 4:30PM BST
edit: done
