COMPLETE!!!! Thinking out loud about getting under 20M unfactored exponents

Thank you so much. Anton Repko and I have been working on it for months. so far, only 11 factors were found out of 660 trials (and several P-1 too).
I doubt whether putting P-1 in GPU72 is a good choice, since Ben Delo could do P-1 with B1=850K and B2=50M.

I'm taking P-1 of 26.4M

I finished the 6.9M range.

Version 30.8 really helped out. With new larger B2 bounds the odds of finding a factor improved from ~2% to ~4%. I re-ran a good portion of my exponents with the new bounds which is fast and yielded the remaining 8 needed factors.

138,900 TF for 1,471 factors: 1.06%
58,059 P1 for 1,753 factors: 3.02%
3,095 ECM for 29 factors: 0.94%

TOTAL: 3,253 factors and almost 6,070,000 GhzDays

In what kind of ranges were you doing ECM? ECM im 2xM sounds like pain to me

But damn... 6,000,000 GhzDays is quite the number. Congrats

That was early on before I understood what I was doing.
I had a couple slow PCs doing ECM in the under 10M Ranges.

Most of the GhzDays are from my 2080Ti GPU.
I does over 4,500 per day.

Thanks

A bit of an off-topic question:

is it just me or are you guys also unable to get assignments for Pminus1=... lines?

This has been bugging me since I've started here.

The server only lets you register Pfactor= lines, unfortunately. But maybe you can use this as a workaround sometimes.

I do all my P1 with Pminus1,N/A,....

I used to register with Pfactor and then just rewrote the assignments with the „find and replace“ function to the correct Pminus1 line. I’ve stopped doing that since it is so tedious with three or four machines.

I wonder why you can’t use Pminus1
