Which is at least 20 times faster. What is most interesting is that you can split the work using B2min-B2max. It doesn't require to save a B2 files. If you know the work as been done to a certain point. You can start from there. GP2 was able to make it work as the B1 was saved backward, as shown in this link Here is an exemple of one run. B1 is done on Prime95 using a faster PC using Windows10. The second stage is done on a Linux 32bits with 1G Ram. And I run two instances. B1 is at 10 billion and took over 2 hours. B2 is done in steps of 300 billion and takes about 5 minutes. The factor was found during the first step.

It always depends on B1 being high enough.
 2021-02-11, 02:59 #3 jocelynl1204   Feb 2018 23 Posts Completed P-1 testing M1571 P-1 of M1571 has found no new factors other than the ones previously known. B1=1e+11 done on mprime B2=1e+17 done on GMP-Ecm using p-1 is there a way to report this on Gimps or mersenne.ca ?
 2021-02-11, 04:19 #4 LaurV Romulan Interpreter     "name field" Jun 2011 Thailand 234358 Posts Send it to GIMPS, or PM the results to George, once registered with PrimeNet, then mersenne.ca will sync the result from there. OTOH, for how much ECM that exponent had, the P-1 is a bit futile, unless you really raise those bonds few more orders of magnitude.
 2021-02-28, 14:30 #5 jocelynl1204   Feb 2018 23 Posts To add on to my research. When resuming from Prime95, you cannot do -resume -save. Otherwise you won't find any subsequent factors. What you can do is search in steps. [b1] 100000 [b2] 1000000-2000000 Onece you find a factor and wish to continue with that same B1. You can manually add it to the input file. And as you did the first time you need to change the checksum of the input file that looks like that. METHOD=P-1; B1=xxxxx; N=(2^yyyy-1); X=0x...(the inputed X0 from Prime95).........; CHECKSUM=.............; PROGRAM+GMP-ECM .....

The above in red, I have seen this done before. If I understand it correctly, no testing below B1 is done. Values above B1 to B2 would be tested. Would this be an accurate statement?

 2021-02-28, 16:37 #7 chris2be8     Sep 2009 1001010000012 Posts Checking for factors smooth below B1 has already been done by prime95. ECM is now checking for factors P where P-1 has only one factor larger than B1 and less than B2 (the rest being less than B1). Note the preceding line says it's using about 9792MB to do it. Which I would not call "very little RAM". Chris

You can use maxmem to refrain the use of excessive ram. Ecm is going to do it in steps.

I am sorry. Either I am not seeing well, or there is no ECM reference in the output sample. I have used GMP-ECM some but not for P-1.

I have used this before. I never set it above one-half of my RAM capacity. Windows 10 starts acting a bit odd if I do.
