[QUOTE=fivemack;446036]C197_141_86: 20480 curves at B1=3e8 completed with no factor found; so that's the 35K done.

Shall I set the GTX970 to run polynomial search for two weeks?[/QUOTE]

Nice job on the ECM. No objection but one suggestion - search for a short time to get a baseline GNFS poly and compare to the SNFS poly to verify GNFS is the optimal path forward. If a barely acceptable GNFS poly can't beat SNFS then two weeks additional searching is unlikely to help.

Look at [url=http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=445335&postcount=163]C186_145_72[/url] - SNFS is slightly better than initial GNFS efforts, and [url=http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?p=446025#post446025]now it's been suggested to me that further poly searching is not likely to help[/URL].

Excellent point ... the SNFS polynomial

has a combined score of 8.624e-15 and an hour of GNFS-search gets me nothing more than 2.835e-15. So this is an SNFS number. I guess I'll queue it up after trial sieving ... can you suggest a target for November's ECM GPU cycles?

C192_139_81 is just coming out of t55 via yoyo. Needs 20k curves @B1=3e8. How does that sound? I'm on the road right now but will get started upon my return this weekend.

BTW - would you also queue C186_145_72 to 15e? The poly is given in post 163 of this thread. Thank you in advance. [b]fivemack[/b]: queued

I think C192_139_81 is probably an SNFS target; I think we're about to run out of achievable unambiguous GNFS targets at XYYXF, the only hope is if ECM efforts knock a C6x off one of the C25x difficulty>300 numbers.

This doesn't mean I'm not going to run ECM curves on C192_139_81.

Agreed.

Excellent. I'll plug away on it as well. Even if all remaining numbers are best seived via SNFS, they still need ECM.

And thanks for queuing C186_145_72.

C194_139_131
 

No one appears to have run any curves on C194_139_131 at B1=300M yet so I will reserve it.

[QUOTE=amphoria;446192]No one appears to have run any curves on C194_139_131 at B1=300M yet so I will reserve it.[/QUOTE]

20,000 curves with B1=300M complete with no factor found.

I also ran poly select for a day and found the following poly which is a small improvement on Max's from post #152:

[CODE]# norm 6.010324e-019 alpha -7.291559 e 1.119e-014 rroots 3

[/CODE]

This is another borderline GNFS/SNFS candidate so I did some trial sieving with Yafu's best candidate for SNFS of

[CODE]# 139^131+131^139, difficulty: 294.30, anorm: 2.70e+038, rnorm: -1.12e+055
# scaled difficulty: 297.07, suggest sieving rational side
# size = 6.576e-015, alpha = 0.000, combined = 2.615e-015, rroots = 0
type: snfs
size: 294

c6: 1
c0: 18209

[/CODE]

However, GNFS gave a significantly better yield. The only problem is that they are both 16e jobs so are unlikely to be processed soon. Also further poly select will be required for GNFS as the msieve target is 1.16e-014 to < 1.33e-014.

Dave,

Not if you contact Greg (aka frmky) to queue it on 16e grid. Please let me know if you need my support.

Amphoria - nice job on the ECM of C194_139_131 and subsequent test sieving. I'll post a request for polynomial over in the msieve subforum along with your result - maybe someone will find something slightly better within the expected range of Murphy e-score. As to running NFS on it, there's Greg (NFS@Home), Ryan Propper (he's done several C19x GNFS jobs recently), possibly others with big hardware (fivemack - any interest?). Or we defer it until another time.

Do you want to tackle C193_143_93? It's next on the list.


And an update - I am currently running ECM on C192_139_81. Progress is slow but as other jobs finish I then put that machine on this effort. Worst case I should have 10,000 curves completed by mid Dec.

My new hardware is now installed, and can sieve a C170 inside a week, so a C192 probably within three months; though it seems slightly silly to run on second-hand four-year-old data-centre hardware when Ryan can run on rather larger quantities of rather newer data-centre hardware.

Update: Ryan has taken up GNFS of C194_139_131. Currently in LA, factors expected by mid-December.

Fivemack - what's your status on ECM of C192_139_81? I've run about 5,000 curves so far @B1=3e8, no joy.
