Many thanks to all for the helpful tips. Ryan has implemented them and has made progress. He is currently attempting to sieve additional uniques and incrementing TD to find the "sweet spot" wrt ETA. I'm not sure there's anything sweet about this monster but he's engaged it. I'm just hoping he can get an ETA under 4000 hours but who knows? I'll report his progress as things er progress.

Update: LA is in full swing with an ETA of -4800 hours (early May). :ermm:

150^149+149^150 has been factored. The mighty giant lies slain.

Ryan ran the sieving, Greg Childers the LA/postprocessing. It was a great effort and personally I am in awe of their accomplishment.

[/code][/QUOTE]Very nice!

Here's the msieve log file for the number:

Most impressive! Kudos!

Am I correct in thinking that that was 16x24 threads?

I assume that raising the lp bound would only make the matrix harder. Are the msieve problems fixed with large datasets?

Nice record. Can't wait for it to be beaten.

Yes, the linear algebra was completed on 16 compute nodes, each with a Xeon E5-2650 v4 cpu with DDR4 memory connected by FDR Infiniband. This cpu has 12 cores with hyperthreading, so 24 msieve threads per node.

The actual Infiniband data transfer rate during the computation was about 700 MB/s in each direction on each node as measured by the HCA counters.

Going to update them in a day or two.
