Having used both cado-nfs and msieve, I'd say the choice isn't clear cut. For a given amount of computation, cado-nfs usually generates better polynomials. For a given amount of time, msieve running on a gpu-equipped machine usually wins out. Brute force can indeed be competitive with smartness.

Something I've been keen on for the GCW and HCN projects since day one. It irritates me intensely that three factorizations in the GCW tables are labelled "Anonymous lookup 2016-0x-yz" because the only source I can find is FactorDB. In these cases the date is that when I looked up the factorization, not the date when it was first discovered.

If you look up each of the factors and click the arrow next to "More information" you should be able to find when the factor was added to factordb.

I know factordb keeps other information, including the IP address it was submitted from, but I don't know any way to get that (short of asking Syd, if you can find him).

Here are the last of the "easy" xyyx composites needing no additional ECM. Polys are attached.

C187_133_54
C215_134_80
C189_134_82
C211_123_77
C179_125_73
C203_125_72
C203_148_46
C225_122_79
C209_131_59
C207_130_108
C216_150_44
C204_121_84

C199_121_91 (survived 8000 curves @B1=11e7)

The remaining SNFS numbers of the xyyx project are being queued for proper ECM vetting.

That would be food for 15e. And I'll probably queue it before the big GNFS 188.

I see I'll have to look into providing test sieving as well as poly select...

VBCurtis · 2016-05-19, 05:44

I'll have a 2.26 and a pair of 2.20's in the poly select thread for this C173 shortly. A second -npr run is finishing up presently.

Grid-based GNFS polynomial selection is something that has interested me for years. Adding a GPU application to NFS@Home can potentially bring in hordes of new contributors, and I think that nobody has really pushed the limits of massively parallel polynomial selection at the largest input sizes. Also, if the administrative effort is tolerable we can run CADO-NFS for smaller poly selection jobs (say, 1 host = 1 number) and GPU Msieve for larger ones, possibly as a first stage for the latter with offline CADO polishing of the best results.

I would be willing to devote time to make some fraction of the above happen; what would we need?

Contact Greg in first instance...
From my side I'll bring some GPU power to the project (it must pay very good credits like Collatz project, 3500 points per 60 seconds run)

nfs@home is sieving, and Dmitri is linear-algebraing, 118^109+109^118, but this is already factored in factordb and in XYYXF's results2.txt file (creation date of factor 29/4/2016 0106 or so)

It's already reported - http://mersenneforum.org/showthread....664#post432664

And C167 from aliquot 3366:2132 was factored too - http://mersenneforum.org/showthread....503#post433503

They can be removed from the list.

146^61+61^146 has been reported as well. http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpos...&postcount=849. It can be moved to completed status.
