Hahahaha, nice!

[QUOTE=frmky;351949]They aren't directly comparable. I will test this degree 5 poly and the best degree 6 I find to see which sieves better. Thanks![/QUOTE]

For the C216, Gimeral's e 3.612e-16 degree 5 poly sieves about 15% better than a degree 6 poly with e 4.662e-16.

Does this suggest that perhaps msieve's root-opt for deg 6 is rough enough that the theoretical "line" for deg 5 vs deg 6 is lower than real-world work?

Are the CADO root-opt tools better for deg 6? Perhaps someone could collect the best few hundred hits for a CADO root-opt run?

I suspect it's less the crossover point between degree 5 and 6 than the scaling factor between degree-5 E-values and degree-6 E-values. Hopefully everyone knows but it's worth repeating: the E-value algorithm was invented to compare polynomials of like degree only.

My anecdotal experience is that the best output from the CADO root-opt tools is noticeably better than what you get with Msieve, but on average they work equivalently well. Even among same-degree polynomials, the definition of E-value would make one think that a polynomial with X percent better E-value would sieve X percent more efficiently, but experience with RSA768 shows the difference is much smaller than that. i.e. we found lots of degree-6 polynomials with half the E-value score of the one actually used for RSA768, that sieved maybe 15-20% slower.

[QUOTE=bdodson;351728]OK; 11,323+ is at 3t60 =.c 60% of a t65. That's
the same amount of ecm pretesting as 10,770M; while
gnfs 221 is a lot harder, four times at least. Probably
enough to have found a p62; but there's still lots of
space in [p63,p79] for factors in ecm-range. I'm
taking a break; pending 10,770M. -Bruce[/QUOTE]

out of 25t55 for t65. Wow! a new highest count for me; not so
much luck, as sustained effort.

Damn! Here's the difference between ECM factoring and ECM pretesting. :smile:

How about 3,697+?

If I might ask a slightly stupid question, does "t55" refer to running the number of curves suggested by GMP-ECM to find a factor of a given digit length? If so, does "7t55" refer to doing this 7 times? Thanks!

[QUOTE=fivemack;352279]From trial sieving it looks like firejuggler's [URL]http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=351690&postcount=169[/URL] (c5=107173200) is the best of the C178 so far, with wombatman's [URL]http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=351781&postcount=176[/URL] in second place.

Probably a little late, but I found another decent poly for the C178. I will move on to the C175 now.
