The P-1 probability at B1=1M, B2=40M with TF done to 2^77 is 4.3848. Same probability with TF done to 2^78 is 3.9980. Hence, the overlap of probability is 0.3868 (i.e. the probability that there is a...

No, it isn't. The chance of a factor if you TF from 2^77 to 2^78 is 1/78 or 1.28%. The chance will be reduced if we're doing the TF after P-1, but it will still be closer to 1% rather than 0.07%...

No, it is 0.3868%, if we go by the calculation. However, I don't trust either of those numbers. I think empirically, it is more like 1%.

Hmmm... 423 is not relatively prime to 2310, so that is not a valid combo.

:confus:

Are you sure it was D=2310, E=12? D=210 is another option, as is E=6.

The poly is (2310*i)^12-j^12, and only j that is relatively prime to 2310 need to be considered. Actually, now that I think about it, could be (4320*i)^12-j^12

No. P95 calculates 3^(Mp+1) == 3^(f+1) to prp test Mp/f. So the residue produced is always the same.

By calculating 3^(Mp+1), you can just do repeated squaring (more efficient), which also...

As retina correctly pointed out, you should use the thruput figure (iters/s) rather than time (us/iter) to do the calculation. Hence, it is "27% slower" / "37% faster".
