[QUOTE=fivemack;106699]That's quite impressive: 45 factorisations of about eight hours each in three days, so at least five full-time CPUs. Do you have a patch for the "lambda-comp" bug during polynomial selection that has thwarted my attempts at running completely automated ggnfs?[/QUOTE]The c104's actually take a bit longer on the servers i'm running them (some are dual cpu). The 8 hours is alos exluding poly search as that is not recorded in the log file.

I don't know what you mean with a "lambda-comp" patch. I'm just creating a batchfile where i call factlat.pl with the relevant .n file.

In between factorizations i run a cleanup script to remove all files exept the results file.

It's really fire and forget. ATM i don't have time to create poly's etc, thats why i'm running these numbers. It's just copy/past from a file i grep from the website

Ah. I find that about one factlat.pl run in three terminates half-way through polynomial selection with a message 'lambda-comp' from pol51opt.

This isn't a problem if your batchfile notices that the run has failed and launches it again - it's generally found a half-decent polynomial by that point and just carries on using that one - but that makes the run-script a little harder to write. It's a little more annoying if you launch four jobs manually, go to bed, and find that two CPUs have idled overnight.

My batch file looks something like:

factlat.pl 1
call cleanup.bat
factlat.pl 2
call cleanup.bat
....

Where i put the numbers in 1.n, 2.n, etc

For composites below 110 digits i don't treally care if the poly is optimal or not. An hour more or less is not worth the time babysitting my computers.

[QUOTE=smh;106696]I'll continue with the 105 digit composites.[/QUOTE]Done.

I'll continue with the 106 digit composites.

Is anyone working on the smallest composites (101 and 102 digits)?
Although GNFS might be faster, they are nice candidates for msieve.

I didn't factor this one with gnfs because I didn't know how to use ggnfs. but now I know and with my next reservation, 29328, I will try to factor, with factLat.pl, my first number using gnfs.

Factors of 28314:

Andi,

Did you report the factors you found?

All numbers for which you showed factors are still marked composite on the site.
