I had a Xeon E3-1230 spend:
* more than a CPU-month on `msieve -np1` with norm 2e33, producing 13705 hits (attached) - I still can't use my GPU at the moment;
* a negligible amount of time on `msieve -nps` with norm 1e100;
* another CPU-month or so on `msieve -npr` for [I]all[/I] hits.

The second CPU month aimed at testing the updated version of poily's MPI patch (see post #42, with the modification mentioned in posts #49 and #50) for -nps + -npr - seems to work :smile:

The best polynomial produced by stage 2 is worse than the best hits posted earlier in this topic by a significant margin:

Just so y'all know, I've been running the last few days with my [STRIKE]460[/STRIKE] 560. I started at 5e12 with norm 2e33, and am averaging around 25K hits per day (give or take a few thousand, it's just a rough estimate). I have ~85.8K total at the moment, and ~100 more every few minutes.

jasonp, perhaps worker's locations should be marked in the first thread? Even if it's hard to duplicate work of the same coefficient, it still seems to me like we'll get better results if we run as many coefficients as possible.

Here's another 2 million stage 1 hits with norm of 1e33. I've now restarted it with norm of 5e33.

running msieve -v -np1 "stage1_norm=5e33 2345678901234,20000000000000" will post my hits/optimised once I get back home.

How many S1 hits have there been, either from this thread alone or total? I'd estimate we're somewhere between 3-5 million, with Greg doing most of it?

I have ~180K hits [URL="http://dubslow.tk/random/batch1.gz"]here[/URL] (4.7 MB) (I would run size opt myself but my CPU's all tied up ATM).

I've sent jasonp, via PM, just under 4M.

[QUOTE=RichD;323256]I've sent jasonp, via PM, just under 4M.[/QUOTE]

Sweet! I guess there's more than one big player around here :smile:

So we're easily north of 5M, probably somewhere near 10M?

By tomorrow, I'll have another dozen thousand CPU stage 1 hits (norm 2e33) from MPI msieve.

And yeah, we're probably around 10M hits now :smile:

168xx hits min norm seem to be @ 4.xxx +034 but I may have done a bad job at optimising

[QUOTE=Dubslow;323262]... I guess there's more than one big player around here ... probably somewhere near 10M?[/QUOTE]

Not really a big player, just consistent. Been running since my first post.

[QUOTE=jasonp;319061]A trillion hits would probably be too much to deal with, though it would be awesome :)[/QUOTE]

So far the total contributions amount to 10.4M hits. Keep 'em coming!

Edit: by comparison, the few months that everyone spent on RSA768 produced 30 million hits, the vast majority of which came from CPU Msieve.
