How many curves?[/QUOTE]

However many curves you can spare or is reasonable for that range

[QUOTE=pdazzl;381805]However many curves you can spare or is reasonable for that range[/QUOTE]

I don't know... I currently have 4 cores on it.(can throw more in the fray)

Each curve is 6.2GHz/days. Do you think it would be better if I stepped back on the bounds?

Hmm... I thought Primenet didn't directly* accept composite factors?

I checked M566448359 to 2^77 but found no new factors, so still 10 known factors:
[url]http://www.mersenne.org/report_exponent/default.php?exp_lo=566448359&exp_hi=566448359[/url]

I thought for a moment I found a lot more factors, but apparently mfaktc is not prp checking factors.

(I posted this in the wrong thread first "Mersenne number factored (disbelievers are fools)", so someone can remove the post over there if they want.

M7508981 ECM B1=50000 [STRIKE]bound to[/STRIKE] should be done by early Tuesday morning.

[QUOTE=pdazzl;381776]Could you do a B1 between 800000 - 1000000? B2 being 100x of this[/QUOTE]
Why a B1 between 800,000 - 1,000,000?
Why not take the standard B1 of 1,000,000 for 35 digits factors and run a (coordinated effort of) 1,800 curves (t35)?
To me it would seem easier to keep track of the progress if everybody just used the standard B1 and B2 values.

[QUOTE=VictordeHolland;381819]Why a B1 between 800,000 - 1,000,000?[/QUOTE]

If you report your results to Primenet, then the server will convert all effort to the standardized B1 values.

There is nothing wrong with B1=800K-1M, nor is there any problem with jumping straight to 1M.

[url]http://www.mersenne.ca/exponent/397[/url] shows that we know 8 factors of 2^397-1 which is clearly wrong as it doesn't give and count the largest factor (p=6597485910270326519900042655193). It looks like an error for all cases where the factorization of 2^n-1 is known, like in trivial cases: [url]http://www.mersenne.ca/exponent/2[/url] : "Known prime factors: None — M2 is prime!"

I think you're right. There should probably be some logic in the site that gives it +1 on total known factors for numbers that have a PRP cofactor. Though as a straw man argument, one could technically say those numbers(significantly large enough of course) are only prp's and we can't know for sure. But I think that's a relatively moot point.

I'm working 200 curves of B1=100000 and will step up from there. If you start at 800000 we can cover more area concurrently; however many curves you want to do.

Hmm... what am I doing wrong?
