LLR performance on k and n

robert44444uk · 2006-02-08, 23:56

Sorry guys and lassies for dropping into you forum but what is the value of k that LLR can handle that is faster than pfgw at large value of n?

The reason for asking this is that I am dying to get some hot prp software that can take the many Payam numbers k (Riesel and Proth) which are hugely prime in the n>260K<400K range.

Axn1 has software to generate such Payam k, there are billions to choose from, but they are quite large in absolute k terms maybe too large for LLR to be efficient.

Pfgw seems to suffer a huge slow down at n appox 260K for such large k and the effort beyond this point seems not worthwhile in terms of building a solid portfolio of prps which will last beyond next year in the top 5000.

So who knows this stuff?

Regards

LLR should be as fast or faster than pfgw for all k/n that it can handle. The underlying assembly code routines can handle k values up to 50 bits or so.
