Sorry, I think I set up something wrong.
I ran the poly sel overnight (~16 hour total), and the best poly is slightly less than 3e-13, and you have few over 3e-13 in few hours.
The test also only ran from 0 to ~400 for the leading coefficient, instead of your 5 million.
Perhaps because I invoked it through factmsieve.py, instead of using custom parameters?
Again, the CPU / GPU usage is consistently low (~50% at best), is that normal?
Lastly, I tried to run '.\msieve -np1 -nps "6000000,7000000 stage1_norm=4e24 stage2_norm=4e22" -s RSA', it complains "cannot open input file 'worktodo.ini'".
I tried to make a worktodo.ini with the C170 number in it and see what happen. It creates a .ms file, it runs and outputs log on the command prompt, but it has yet to output anything. When I interrupted it, it shows "error generating or reading NFS polynomials". All files remain empty / unchanged
Sorry for the bombard of questions
