[QUOTE=jrk;196479]I started a poly search for the c146. In about 24 hours I'll post a result.[/QUOTE]

How much ECM did this one have? I guess we should do at least t45 (7500@11e6) before doing GNFS?

I did some higher level curves. I'm not sure what the conversion ration is....

[QUOTE=schickel;196482]I did some higher level curves. I'm not sure what the conversion ration is....[/QUOTE]

According to my calculations based on the curves which have been reported to the DB, t45 is ~57% done.

Since we can search for polys on a GPU now but not ECM or sieving, it doesn't hurt to do poly searching early in parallel.

My best poly so far is 9.198e-12. I will do some testing to find the right parameters and post it later.

This is the best from today but I will do another day of searching.

I had a 9.589e-12 poly but it test-sieved slower than the 9.198e-12 one.

probably something to do with the 9.198e-12 having quite a good alpha
from memory someone said a while back that higher alpha means a higher chance of smaller factors and lower norms means the numbers to be factored are smaller
the e value attempts to get the mix right but doesnt always

With degree 4, the poly with the highest e value is very often suboptimal in fact.

how do you find the optimal polynomial then?
look for the highest alpha or the smallest norms?
