Improved params files for CADO - Page 10

VBCurtis · 2022-08-11, 15:51

When I first discovered that the stock params were not very fast, I sent new files to the CADO folks for C100 to C120. Some of them were accepted, others were deemed not a useful improvement. One of the developers explained that the team uses an automated params testing suite to determine the stock params, and I got the sense they were not particularly interested in my efforts to find faster ones.

Quite a few years have passed since then, and I've learned a lot about parameter choices. Perhaps I should send the team my most-improved params files once again, as I've found more and more speed over the years.

Yes, I thought that maybe they focus more on the development of the software and bleeding edge parameters than those smaller ones. Still, it would be very interesting for publication (not peer-reviewed, just to make it public).

Will you post the updated c155 params shortly? Not to sound impatient, I just want to make sure I don't start factorization and then 3 hours later it's posted. :)

I'm working this week on C140 and C145; I seem to have lost the trendline here, having trouble finding settings fast enough to match my expectations based on C120 and C130 timings.
I won't be publishing C150 and C155 for a while still.
