I agree that speed about doubles, but required relations only jump by 70%. That's why I've been submitting everything as 32LP jobs; it's 10%+ faster to get ~400M 32LP relations than it is to get ~240M 31LP relations, and those targets produce comparably-sized matrices for the SNFS jobs I've been submitting (roughly SNFS-240).

I found SNFS-232 to be equivalent in time between 31LP and 32LP, and I suspect 14e/33 is faster than 14e/32 for SNFS250+ (that's specifically what I'll be testing this fall). For GNFS, I think 165 or 166 is the size where 14e/32 is faster than 14e/31. Anyone interested in seeing raw relations vs matrix size for various 14e tasks might have a look at mklasson.com/factors, where I have reported relation counts and matrix sizes for a range of 14e (and some 15e) tasks. I built quite a few 32LP matrices (with TD 100+) with fewer than 300M raw relations!

[QUOTE=VBCurtis;465547]I built quite a few 32LP matrices (with TD 100+) with fewer than 300M raw relations![/QUOTE]

This is a key takeaway. I have always gone for almost double the relations on a 32 LP job and look for TD 130-140. Too gratuitous perhaps?

I think so, yes. My most-recent personal factorization was 13*2^824-1, an SNFS-250. I used 15e/32, and 342M raw relations built a 9.5M matrix at TD 124. 14e will have a higher duplicate rate, so 380M+ relations would have been required. 13_2_802m is currently in LA, with 385M raw 14e rels building a 9.2M matrix at TD 128.
I am unconvinced LA time is reduced much from TD's of 130+ vs 124, though 10% more relations often does build a notably smaller matrix. I just don't mind ~10M matrices, so I don't request 400M relations for my 32LP jobs. By the time I need 400M+ relations, I'll be trying 650M rels on a 33LP job.
My only 33LP data so far:
13_2_837m, SNFS-254, 15e 557M rels 13.3M matrix @TD 116
13_2_864m, SNFS-263, 15e 618M rels 15.8M matrix @TD 124
I think 14e will require 10% more raw relations, which is where I get 650M as a target for SNFS 250ish. I hope to build TD 130 from that!

C173_129_85 -- better CADO polys
 

[QUOTE=swellman;465498]C173_129_85 is ready for GNFS, with many thanks to wombatman for the polynomial. I ended up going with a 14/31 job here, as 14/32 had yield >2.0 but took an estimated 53% longer to sieve (plus greatly increased postprocessing time and difficulty). 15/31 is likely optimal, but keeping the 14e queue fed seemed more important. Of course the mods can change it if they deem it necessary.
