I am surprised that C182_134_107 is not being done as a GNFS number - the yields look pretty low for SNFS, and combined = 1.470e-014 compares poorly to the 'expecting poly E from 5.46e-14 to > 6.27e-14' from msieve.

It was a close thing, and I originally had it down as a GNFS. But considering poly search time, and the fact that SNFS isn’t ridiculously difficult swayed me.

Would GNFS-182 be faster? I'm too lazy to feed this SNFS poly into msieve to see how it compares with the GNFS-183 record, but 20-530MQ sounds way tougher than GNFS.

See above. I also considered estimated time to sieve, which appeared to be much closer than the respective e-scores would indicate.

If it seems too much effort, we can pull it out of queue and I’ll submit it as a GNFS job later.

Whoops for not noticing the "next page" active button! Sorry for duplicate posts.

One last point that makes me pause is the fact [url=http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=352488&postcount=193]one cannot directly compare e-scores between polys of different degree[/url]. In the case of C182_134_107, SNFS is a sextic and GNFS a quintic. So I tend to compare sieving times. For GNFS, I built a model using [url=http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=478855&postcount=86]record e-scores[/url] vs estimated time to sieve on my machine. This tells me for a given GNFS difficulty (assuming a vigorous poly search) the estimated time to sieve.

Or am I making this harder than it needs to be?

In the case of C182_134_107, the estimated time to sieve using SNFS likely has grown from original estimates.

When comparing different degrees, I wouldn't claim a 50% difference in score is proof that one is better than the other, but we're talking a factor of 3 or 4 here; I'd wager GNFS is faster by at least 33% (that is, would take 75% of the computation that SNFS would take), and I won't be surprised if it's twice as fast (50% effort).

Surprisingly the difference was <15%, in favor of GNFS, plus poly search time. But when I fully characterized the SNFS poly in preparation for sieving, I ultimately increased it to a 32-bit job, resulting a bit slower sieving (though with better yield). So it’s current state, GNFS is about 19% faster than SNFS. On my machine, 161 weeks to sieve GNFS vs 190 weeks to sieve via SNFS. (It was closer with 31-bit.) I should have circled back to check the final sieving time estimates. Guess I was anxious to feed the grid.

I’ve got a similar upcoming composite, namely C184_137_92. A G184 is ~S277 in difficulty, and I’ve identified a SNFS poly that is 271 in difficulty. So it’s SNFS, right? But sieving time estimates show GNFS is 203 weeks versus 224 weeks to sieve via SNFS. I’m just hoping ECM splits it first! :tu:

I say pull C182_134_107 and I will post it as a GNFS sometime in the future. But please know that I spent a lot of time vacillating between G and SNFS!
