Okay, I've both fixed the bugs in
yafu -nt and tested it by trying the top three from each of the three batches for the C173 under recent consideration. The results, with some caveats below:
Code:
(gdb) run "nfs($(cat num))" -nt hybrid1.job,hybrid2.job,hybrid3.job,cpucado1.job,cpucado2.job,cpucado3.job,gpumsieve1.job,gpumsieve2.job,gpumsieve3.job -v -threads 8
Starting program: /home/bill/yafu/yafu "nfs($(cat num))" -nt hybrid1.job,hybrid2.job,hybrid3.job,cpucado1.job,cpucado2.job,cpucado3.job,gpumsieve1.job,gpumsieve2.job,gpumsieve3.job -v -threads 8

test: "gpumsieve3.job" is the fastest poly
The caveats are that this took more than an hour on my primary desktop, so I can't really guarantee homogeneous computing environment, though the last 5 or 6 I think were more stable than the first 3-4. Also note that yield doesn't really correlate with speed (despite what I'm reasonably certain is an identical minrels estimate for all polys, since IIRC yafu calculates that based on lpb bounds, nothing about the actual coefficients). The top yield is the fastest, but below that there's considerable fluctuation. I'm not sure how much of this is due to the background compute environment, though I suspect with 8 threads available and a decent scheduler, the background is a relatively small factor.
All in all it does seem to be relatively a crapshoot, and I'd bet there's a decent chance some of the other top ~15-20 polys might sieve better, but I don't really want to invest time into that. (Yafu runs
-nt single threaded by design, though I definitely wish I could have made use of all 8 threads available on this processor to speed it up.)
Yafu chose the following identical sieve parameters for all polys:
Code:
rlim: 65600000
alim: 65600000
lpbr: 31
lpba: 31
mfbr: 62
mfba: 62
rlambda: 2.6
alambda: 2.6
