Carlos: Thanks for your offer, but there's no need. Let the server idle for a while.

On considering cycles to be of equal value
 

I'm being inconsistent with myself.

One thing that I've become really sure of, in doing quite large numbers of factorisations with moderately significant resources, is that the circumstances in which it's worth doing more sieving to make the matrix smaller are rare. Particularly rare if you regard watt-hours as the currency to work in, and even more particularly rare if you regard third parties' watt-hours as worth more than yours.

For example, for 2+947, I spent a month on 56 threads, 700W of equipment in order to make the linear algebra take two weeks less using 12 threads on 200W equipment.

So, if you haven't already pushed more jobs for L1247, don't. It'll take longer even in wall-clock than the time saved, and much longer in terms of coal burned (or, I suppose, water through the Jirau dam). I'll run with the matrix as it is.

Ok, I'll leave it as it is. Thanks!

The offer still stands...I can start it tomorrow at this time. Please let me know.

Go ahead

Ok thank you.
Please reserve L1247 for me.

About L1247, I got this:

[code]Tue Apr 15 18:05:09 2014 commencing full merge
Tue Apr 15 18:44:05 2014 memory use: 1649.5 MB
Tue Apr 15 18:44:05 2014 found 91451 cycles, need 7472037
Tue Apr 15 18:44:05 2014 too few cycles, matrix probably cannot build
[/code]

What do I need to do to keep going? More relations?

What matrix density did you specify?
