A couple of largish numbers

fivemack · 2011-03-24, 15:21

I have been working on various sequences below 10^4 for a couple of years now.

3270.632 is a C170 on which I've done 16000 curves at 3e7
3678.3076 is a C162 on which I've done 20000 curves at 3e7

I have the resources to do these GNFS jobs, but not really the interest; if anyone else wants to pick up the sequences, they're welcome to them

A C162 is within the reach of RSALS.
But someone else would need to perform the polynomial selection: my 8 cores, on 3 computers, are currently busy with preparatory ECM work @ B1=43e6 and polynomial selection for RSALS, and some work for another BOINC-based project

I could do the poly selection for 3678.3076, would take me a few days to get a good one.

edit:
I'll just start it. 5 cores without cuda, one with GTX260. I'll post results here later.

so far: found an outstanding poly,

Code:

# norm 1.253170e-15 alpha -8.532833 e 1.271e-12 rroots 5
skew: 133435193.68
c0:  9278864245525985137550344687245446069980225
c1:  180109282635950772896812489720834585
c2: -8995871353090924335725511063
c3: -17784552123636433957
c4:  552333312806
c5:  540
Y0: -45655070065487497189556645317254
Y1:  180378937982427677

second best is 1.063e-12

I'll queue this polynomial onto RSALS in the next few hours.

debrouxl · 2011-03-28, 17:24

I have queued to RSALS the C162 from sequence 3678, with Syd's poly, over the 15M-55M range for now. There's room for a team sieving here

debrouxl · 2011-03-30, 06:20

Raising the upper limit to 65M, one quarter of the 15M-65M range returned so far.
Forecast number of raw relations (over-estimated, due to simple linear projection): 81M.
Could someone give an estimation of how many raw relations are needed ?

debrouxl · 2011-03-31, 17:24

I have raised the upper limit to 80M, and forced the generation of all WUs. ~54% of the 15-80M range has been returned so far, yielding a projection of ~113M raw relations.

debrouxl · 2011-04-02, 10:31

~83% of the results returned so far, ~115M raw relations expected. WUs near q=15M give lower yields than WUs at e.g. q=40M, which is infrequent.

We're currently seeing a low point in sieving activity on the grid, so I won't be participating in further team sievings until the activity raises.

Maybe you can increase that activity by granting more credits to your users. Currently you grant less than average per CPU-hour, not taking the memory usage into account.

Sounds like an invitation to an inflationary arms race to me...
