[QUOTE=bsquared;578988]Thanks for the report. This is due to the same bug Stargate reported and will be fixed after I'm able to re-build the project tonight.[/QUOTE]

Thanks! I'll get the revised executable when available.

Feedback
 

I've just managed to factor a C190 into PRP26, PRP52 and PRP113 using YAFU 2.02. It took 5 days and 5 hours, but that's down to my awful hardware. I am pleased with this.

If anyone's interested the C190 was 30^128 + 17^128.

Incidentally, I'm sure I've seen something posted about this here before, but what's the largest number of decimal digits YAFU will handle?

I've run partial factorizations of larger numbers (up to 900 digits; sometimes Yafu will crash on numbers >1000 digits, but that was before I upgraded to 2.x), and sometimes I'll get a full factorization, but it's very rare.

Any chance you could post the factors of 30^128+17^128 on FactorDB? It still says it's a C190: [url]http://www.factordb.com/index.php?id=1100000000441930677[/url]

Thank you.

Done.
How many of these Homogeneous Cunninghams should go onto FactorDB? I've got a lot of them that I've not been posting after someone complained about them a few years back.

sigma() appears to be broken

Assuming you don't have millions of them they should all go into factordb once you have fully factored them.

I think I once complained about a load of small unfactored ones being added to factordb (I am running a script to factor small number iin factordb, it went to the trouble of factoring them only to find them done when it tried to submit the result).

Version 2.03 is now available with recently reported bugs fixed. Thanks Stargate38, richs, and EdH!

Great! Thanks for all your work!

Thanks, Ben. Your efforts are most appreciated!

There appears to be a bug in SNFS polynomial selection for (at least) the k*b^n+-1 and b^n+-k forms, for example:
[code]$ yafu "snfs(1281979*2^520+1,615852095139018818180740532155742854813285752039357209617222174313731523072704248288595303399267379211703243385678043310396893565702501281889421988426549324889)"

Those remainders would suggest that YAFU is getting the sign of the constant term wrong. This is 2.02 but it doesn't look like anything relevant has changed in 2.03.

Also, I notice that the required ECM effort is not reduced when an SNFS special form is detected, necessitating a manual change to pretest_ratio.

Sorry if I'm becoming annoying, but the current "-silent" option doesn't act as before. I can (re)write my scripts around it (or use YAFU 1...), but the original YAFU performed thusly:[code]$ ./yafu "sigma(28,1)-28" -silent
28
$[/code]which was easy to capture in a script.

YAFU 2... performs in this manner:[code]$ ./yafu "sigma(28,1)-28" -silent

ans = 28

$[/code]Although I can parse these three lines, it is easier not having to.

Thanks for all your development work.
