Reservations:

200-250k    RobertS   (done!)
250-300k    RobertS

I've started to bring up all seqs in 195k-250k to 110 digits (I've announced it somewhere here in the forum). 219282 was one of the last in this range, because it was quite "intensive". I left it at i1945 (100digits) in the evening and it was done in the next morning, by me and you.
But anyway, another one down!
To avoid double work: I will continue with the seqs. 250k-300k, <110 digits. 195k-250k is done.

PS: There are only 4860 seqs below 110 digits below 1M (mean size:106.2).
Right now 50 to 70 seqs are passing the 110 digits limit daily!

At that rate it'll be less than 3 months till everything's up to 110 - will we need another 110 digits subproject or do you want to do all the work?
10k-50k to 120 digits isn't looking far off now

It seems like that it won't take 3 month, due to the huge progress (now 4828 seqs. <110 digits, < 1M)
I have not planned to do all <110 <1M seqs. But I'm not sure, wether another 110 digits subproject is suitable or not. In most cases there are only few terms to do.
I would join 10k-50k to 120 digits, after I could get to run GNFS on my unix machine.

That was in the main reservation thread, but I didn't pay enough attention to think of putting in such a reservation.

Mods, do we need to do something like that or should we just start a "mega project" thread to reserve wide swaths of numbers for intensive work?

219282 was one of the last in this range, because it was quite "intensive". I left it at i1945 (100digits) in the evening and it was done in the next morning, by me and you.

I guess we could mark that as a major milestone....

But anyway, another one down!

A nice wide swath of work by anyone's standards....

Nice progress!

Do you not run it because you haven't needed it or because you can't get it running?

If it's the latter, we can help you get it running.....

I guess this is because of Ben's workers that are factoring all the lowest composites. This has the side-effect of pushing sequences up towards 110.

This thread definitely isn't needed (under its current title, at least) as 200k-250k is done already by RobertS and he is now continuing to 300k. As taking sequences to 110 digits clearly isn't what it used to be, I think we coordinate the remaining effort in the ranges and status thread. Then when Subproject #9 runs out of sequences we can start the 120 digits effort (10k-50k, or perhaps 10k-100k?) for Subproject #10.

Oh, come on; what fits the spirit of the forum better than an entire thread devoted to a project that is almost done (and by one person at that!)?

An entire thread devoted to a project that has already been done by only one person, I think.

We could keep the thread, as long as we change the title...
Edit: done.

Ben is not the only one who run workers to factor all the lowest composites!
My worker have also pushed the limit of the Database - thousends composites the last weeks.
And we don`t know how much people run also DB-Helpers.
So this work is from different Persons. And all Project benefit on that.

250k-300k is almost done.
Will continue with 300k-350k

PS: 3601 sequences < 1M < 110 digits left, with a mean size of 107.05
