FastECPP software and >50000 digit primality proof (reposted from NMBRTHRY)

 Originally Posted by Andreas Enge @inria.fr Dear colleagues, I am pleased to announce the release of a new free software for creating elliptic curve primality proofs using the fastECPP algorithm due to Morain, Franke, Kleinjung and Wirth [1, 2]. It is available under the GPL version 3 or later at https://www.multiprecision.org/cm/ It relies on the approach of computing class polynomials by complex approximations as described in [3]. Optimal class invariants are chosen derived from Weber functions [4], simple [5] or double eta quotients [6], including cases where it is enough to compute lower-degree subfields of the class field [7]. The evaluation of modular functions, which is the most important part of the class polynomial computation, is optimised following [3, 8]. To ease the step of factoring class polynomials modulo primes, the class fields are then represented as a tower of cyclic Galois extensions of prime degree following [9]. The software relies on a number of libraries from the GNU project, notably GMP [10], MPFR [11] and MPC [12], and on PARI/GP [13] for computations with class groups and for root finding modulo a prime. The code has been used to prove a record prime of about 50000 digits; indeed it has shown that 10^50000+65859 is the smallest prime with 50001 digits. The certificate is available at https://www.multiprecision.org/downl...cert-50000.bz2 in PARI/GP format [13] and at https://www.multiprecision.org/downl...0000.primo.bz2 in Primo format [14] as converted by PARI/GP code written by J. Asuncion, who is also the author of the fastECPP implementation in PARI/GP. Parallelisation uses MPI. Computations have been carried out on the PlaFRIM [15] and MCIA [16] clusters in Bordeaux. The first phase of the record, in which a list of discriminants and candidate orders of points on elliptic curves is produced, has taken about 26 days of wallclock time and 67 years of CPU time, in several runs on clusters with 752 to 1328 cores. Of this CPU time, about 8% has been devoted to the computation of square roots modulo a prime by the Tonelli-Shanks algorithm, about 12% to solving quadratic equations by Cornacchia's algorithm, about 65% to removing smooth factors from curve cardinalities, and about 15% to internal primality tests. This imbalance probably indicates non-optimal choices of parameters. On the other hand, it leads to very short certificates: We reach a length of only 1645 steps, as opposed to the 3794 steps in the recent 49000 digits record [17], which implies that verification time is proportionally lower. For the specialists, the parameters were as follows: Discriminants with absolute value up to about 6.9*10^9, leading to class numbers with prime factors up to 157 (and no bound on the class numbers themselves), and a smoothness bound of about 5.5*10^11 for partial factorisation of point orders. The second phase of the record, in which complex multiplication produces a list of elliptic curves and points of (recursively shown to be) prime orders on them, has taken about 74 days of wallclock time and less than 4 years of CPU time on a few machines with 32 to 256 cores in total. Depending on the largest factor of the class number, each step may take a vastly differing amount of time. The longest step has taken close to 10 days for factoring a class polynomial for the discriminant -345992327 of class number 13112=2^3*11*149 for an intermediate prime of about 47800 digits; this would also have been the wallclock time for this phase had it been run sufficiently in parallel. Of the total CPU time, about 96% has been devoted to finding roots of class polynomials, about 3% to verifying point orders, and only about 1% to the construction of the class polynomials. Verification of the certificate takes a little over 4 hours using PARI/GP on a machine with 128 cores. Andreas Enge [1] F.

Exciting development. The early preview was visible since last August:
