Sorry, I just couldn't resist it any longer....:razz:

And we should have started a new thread when version 2 came out. :smile:

Links to FactorDB Helpers
 

Could a moderator create a sticky "Links to FDB Helpers" similar to "Links to Factoring Programs"?

I know of 2 or 3 scripts for factoring composite numbers from the queue. There is also a BOINC project that works on larger composites.

There has been some recent dicussion on an ECM helper.

There is a fairly new Primo for Linux that works on the PRP queue, along with the no-longer-supported-but-still-works Windows version.

There was some talk on N-1/N+1 primality proving/helpers but not sure if any code was associated with that.

Aliquot Sequences are another topic but perhaps just a link to the Aliquot Helper post/thread.
(No use maintaining two sets of links.)

Anything else needs inclusion?

Authors, please include a comment line at the top of your code. If it's worth posting, it's worth recognition.

Don't forget the links in the sticky and a brief description.

I would love for Syd to describe, how to become a DB Worker. :-)
