[QUOTE=fivemack;470946]May I call a moratorium on adding new 14e entries while we have 12 essentially fully-sieved ones without a post-processor?[/QUOTE]

I'll trade you my ill-advised OPN sieving reservation in exchange for throwing my cpu at the backlog.

It's 5366319547249^17-1. I already ECMd it and did ~7-8% of the sieving.

Here's the nfs.job produced by yafu (I didn't so much as glance at it):

I'm not sure where exactly yafu started sieving, but a reproduction indicates it started at 18.4M. I have completed up to 32.96M with a yield of ~1.15 rel/q in the most recent batch of 160K spq, making for a total so far of ~17.5M rels. Yafu suggested 181M minrels for filtering so 200M is probably a good target to overshoot. So perhaps 180M more spq from nfs@home, say 33M-210M or 215M or so depending on how much the yields decline (I don't recall). Does that sound reasonable? (I will complete the 32.96M-33M gap, and do the post processing as well.)

Sieving a job to Q=200M when lim's are 36M does not sound reasonable, no. Neither does yield under 1.5 in the good part of the sieve region. This job should be run with alim/rlim of 134M, or higher.

The classic advice that yield below 2.0 indicates some parameter changes are in order applies here. I would personally also change to 32LP, but I recognise that I'm in the minority for my large-LP choices. Changing alim/rlim to 134M or 180M might get yield near 2.0, but I can't say I understand why 31LP would be better than 32 here.

Test-sieving saves more time than it costs.

The code makes adjustments for yields >4 rel/spq or <1 rel/spq; the given params came up at less than 1, so it upped the bits to 31. (>8 rel/spq = lower siever, < 1/2 rel/spq = higher siever)

[QUOTE=fivemack;470273]I make it about 15000 curves @ B1=260M (this is a bit more than previous versions of ecm-toy suggest, because I've updated the prior for factor distribution based on experience with the brilliant-numbers search)

A slightly more optimal search would be 15000 @ 43M followed by 12000 @ 260M if the number survived the first lot.

Please mail marin DOT mersennus AT gmail DOT com to reserve the number.[/QUOTE]

15120 curves @B1=43M yielded no factors. Now running 12000 curves @t60 level. Marin has been updated.

I would still like for 14e to sieve this, though I obviously need some help with the parameter selection. Any takers? :smile:

14e GNFS Future Candidate
 

[b]QUEUED[/b] Next term in AS 4788 is a C167. Yoyo@Home ran it up to a full t55, and VBCurtis found a very good poly - thanks to both for their efforts. Not sure if/when the moratorium on the queues will be fully lifted, just parking this job here for use when needed. I will not have more 14e candidates until late November.
