GMP-ECM top 10
 

For those of you who aren't reading the "Top 10 GMP-ECM for the year" thread in the GMP-ECM forum, you currently have a good chance of getting in the top 10 for 2010 for a few days. There are only two factors on [url=http://www.loria.fr/~zimmerma/records/ecmnet.html]the list[/url], so any ECM factor will do. I don't expect Paul Zimmermann will like really tiny factors, but I guess anything above p30 will probably be accepted. And aliquot sequences are good places for finding p30s, so if you find one, be sure to send it to zimmerma at loria dot fr. :smile:

[quote=FactorEyes;157187]That's why I only do ECM in early January. :lol:[/quote]
Don't expect even p40-p45-s to survive for a week.

Ok, Ok,
I'm working to enlarge the list and reported a P48.

yoyo

I'm not able to bring up the link (the list) from above, to look at the list(s), but should I be watching my aliquot sequences for large factors(>30)? If so, what info should be provided to the address given in the last message?

You really don't need to, but if you want to get 5 minutes (depending on how long it takes someone to submit a couple larger factors) of not-quite-fame go ahead. :razz:

Judging by [URL="http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:mRik2x2cEv4J:www.loria.fr/%7Ezimmerma/records/ecmnet.html+http://www.loria.fr/%7Ezimmerma/records/ecmnet.html&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a"]http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:mRik2x2cEv4J:www.loria.fr/~zimmerma/records/ecmnet.html+http://www.loria.fr/~zimmerma/records/ecmnet.html&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a[/URL] (a Google cache of the page), I'd say the factor, the number it's from, the B1 used, the sigma used, the date of discovery, your name, and optionally a web site.

Just send the gmp-ecm log where the factor was found.

Thanks!

Now for my next display of ignorance:

How do I know if a prp factor in my aliqueit.log is from gmp-ecm?

Would this tiny example be from gmp-ecm or possibly something else?

The first is from GMP-ECM; the second is a cofactor left over after Aliqueit divided out all factors. In this case the cofactor was prime, so the line was finished. If it was composite, Aliqueit would have continued on factoring it.

Thanks! I'll have a look through my logs to see if anything is worthy of entry...

Hint: You can search for the word 'Neat' in aliquiet.log.

(Also, you can adjust the 'Neat' reporting thresholds in aliquiet.ini; I've set them to 40 long ago, but now upped to 45. "I don't need sugar, I am sweet enough." ©)

Now, you tell me!:smile:

I just got done writing/running a program to check the aliqueit.log files on a couple linux machines and was getting ready to port it over to my WinXP. At least I saw this before doing the porting.:smile:

My neat setting for ecm is already at 45, which explains why I didn't see any messages; the largest prp I found on the linux machines was 41.:sad:

Thanks!
