[QUOTE=VBCurtis;466488]Swellman PM'ed me with a question about test-sieving C224_148_86, and I found it interesting so I took on test-sieving a few options:

I tried 14e/32 and 14e/33 with the above parameters, also 15e/31 and 15e/32 with alim = rlim = 134M. All testing was done with Q-range of 2000 per test.
14e/32: [code]

15e/31: [code]

15e/32: [code]

Q=80M 5568 rels 0.165 sec/rel
Q=130M 5831 rels 0.192 sec/rel
Target 410M relations => Q-range 20-170M suggested[/code]

15e/32 is at least 35% faster than 14e/32 for the job (20-25% faster sec/rel at identical Q-values, but 15e avoids all the slow Q-range above 180M). I didn't do the integration to calculate estimated job length, but roughly 35% less time suggests 15e might be the right siever here.
We haven't tried 14e/33 yet, and 20-310M sieve range isn't a terrible idea; I estimate 14e/33 to be 10% faster job than 14e/32, with 15e/32 roughly 25% faster than 14e/33.[/QUOTE]

My thanks VBCurtis for the extensive trial sieving and analysis. Seems to me 15/31 is the way to go from your findings, but whatever folks want to try. A 14/33 sounds like masochism!

FWIW, the sievers were crashing with this number when using a new Win 10 machine. It's the only time I've seen this.

Since 14/33 is untested ground, I'll do the LA if 14/33 is chosen by the gatekeepers.

My test-sieving was done in Ubuntu 14.04, so I can't comment on the Win-siever crash.

C224_148_86, well test sieved and analyzed by VBCurtis, is probably best sieved as a 15e/31 or 32 job, but as Curtis has suggested, a 14/33 is possible. Would this be a good opportunity to verify the speed/yield of such a job with a host of users willing to chew on such a non-trivial task? Probably not something to try everyday, but with the upcoming challenge the timing is perfect and the results could be instructive. Or has this topic been done to death in the past?

Of course if 14/33 is seen as abusing the goodwill of the sievers, then obviously the idea should be dropped.

There's a GNFS-179 in the 14e queue presently; that makes the GNFS173 from post 1122 a clear 14e choice.

I think it also makes 148_86 a clear 14e choice, given how much demand there is presently for workunits. I hope it's the first 14e/33!! :-)

I have queued 148_86 as a 14/33 job, and put VBCurtis down to do the post-processing. I don't have anything resembling an idea how big the post-processing will be.

Also queued the two GNFS jobs from #1128

I tend to do C17x jobs as 15/32 locally, but while we have a 14e queue it probably needs filling.

I've added three of the smallest Fibonacci and Lucas SNFS numbers to the 15e queue.

The Fibonacci and Lucas GNFS numbers will take a little while longer because lots of them haven't had all that much ECM done yet, let alone the polynomial selection; also I am selfish and want to save some of them for my local cluster.
