[QUOTE=swellman;469413]Well, adding 50M additional Q is projected to add ~55M relations for a total of 596M raw relations. And from the recent findings of VBCurtis that won’t be near enough for a 14e/33 job. Suggest Q be bumped up to 550M. From there we can bump it up in smaller increments until the matrix builds successfully at TD=70.

Or just bump Q up to 500M if there’s a risk of overshooting the minimum number of relations. I’ll keep at it until we build a good matrix. But 596M raw relations isn’t going to do it I think.[/QUOTE]
I think this project is tougher than my 14e/33 effort, so you might need 680-700M raw relations to get a TD 120+ matrix. My job built at TD 140 with 670M raw relations, well below my expectations. I didn't try to build with fewer than 670M raw (540M unique).

A few days ago I downloaded the relations set, just over 650M relations at that time. Was just looking to get a datapoint on whether msieve could even build a matrix @TD=70 (with the expectation being no). Started msieve on Monday afternoon with this dataset, thinking I’d see the answer when I woke up.

Now three days later and msieve is still chewing. Seems to be stuck on full merge after finding 0-7+ ideals, 2-way merge, then “reduced to 87474860 relation sets and 86454781 unique ideals”, and “26 oversized relation sets”. Presumably it’s low on memory - on a 16 Gb machine. I’ve hit this situation before on a large 15e/32 job. That took over a week to (eventually) build the matrix, along with a ridiculous ETA.

So that’s the status. Even if msieve manages to build a viable TD=70 matrix here, it’s fairly worthless other than data on minimum number of relations required for a 14e/33 job. And I’m wondering if I can complete this job - this is using my second best machine and it’s performance is in the mud. My best (32 Gb) machine will free in mid-January once a 15e/33 job is finished.

FWIW. I’ll just wait until msieve can get through the full merge step and see if a matrix is built.

Interesting! My 14/33 job (running on SSD and 16gb) took about 8 hours to complete each instance of -nc1. But I did remdups4 before I tried filtering, which took a couple hours.

As for minimum relations data, I accidentally set a GNFS172 project on 15e/33 rather than the intended 15e/32; it built a TD 104 matrix after just 529M raw relations. This matrix was 9.0M in size, about expected size for GNFS-172. So, if I send a GNFS-173+ to the 14e queue, I'll send it as 33LP to see how the duplicate rate compares to my 15e/33 data point.

Edit: I also ran 13*2^864-1 (SNFS 263-ish) as 15e/33. That built a TD 124 matrix after 618M raw relations, size 15.8M. So, your 650M relation data set *might* build a usable TD 120 matrix, though it's likely to be *big*.

Well, NFS@Home is closing on 698M raw relations for C202_137_75. Sounds like it might be enough to build a TD 120-130 matrix, almost certainly at lower TD. Hopefully we’ll know more in a few days.
