 2012-11-30, 12:53 #23 poily   Nov 2010 2·52 Posts Stage 2 finished, the best 10 polynomials murphy_e ranges in 2.348e-19 - 2.129e-19. Not very impressing. Last fiddled with by poily on 2012-11-30 at 12:55
 2012-11-30, 16:42 #24 jasonp Tribal Bullet     Oct 2004 353410 Posts I ran stage 2 on 250k hits computed by RichD and myself, the best e-value was 2.0e-19, so not that great. Shi Bai ran the CADO stage 2 on the same dataset and has gotten better high scores (I think the best so far was 3.2e-19)

As I recall from past comparisons (B200?), msieve typically has a ~10% lower score due to your more sophisticated integrator. How much of that better score is due to the differences in integration?

 2012-12-01, 13:07 #26 jasonp Tribal Bullet     Oct 2004 67168 Posts I was going to write that most of the time the e-values calculated by the two suites differ by less than 1%, and larger differences were actually because of bugs in Msieve that miscalculated the alpha value. But then to make sure I ran the best CADO polynomial through Msieve, and the difference in e-values was 4.78e-19 vs 3.493e-19! For the record, the best polynomial I could find in the batch of 260k hits was Code: R0: -5876926706329267758590334567904669751467577 R1: 869332622169838859059 A0: 15018543190390770338953421520339801353757924940775872204660800 A1: 909208080136930262159142936022283921496280008021988680 A2: -13303473065609161166913597414184875440269406556 A3: -138145188131827120402436868843139274434 A4: 763752915545626483996372079531 A5: 4312543659621449260154 A6: 10000466830200 skew 133010468.05, size 3.823e-020, alpha -12.788, combined = 2.080e-019 rroots = 4 Last fiddled with by jasonp on 2012-12-01 at 13:22
 2012-12-01, 14:25 #27 poily   Nov 2010 2×52 Posts Here's my slightly better (according to msieve) polynomial Code: SKEW 28338177.70 R0 -3626941552197564826492128852700460060642852 R1 48957407582916194761589 A0 -26101732745933806144485280988037796254029367990700826499285 A1 -2408464141902741608017790242140644715688145388490381 A2 -174314770228113076791419006080421369720970639 A3 28697722660097589508721192118263624637 A4 1036456362256909021188219944324 A5 -21292410351587764080336 A6 181000001476800 skew 28338177.70, size 4.381e-20, alpha -12.189, combined = 2.348e-19 rroots = 2 jasonp, what score does CADO show for your or my polynomial?

 2012-12-04, 09:59 #28 poily   Nov 2010 1100102 Posts I got it by myself: CADO's E.sage gives 1.84701205471987e-19 for your and 2.08696883313422e-19 for my polynomial.
 2012-12-04, 12:19 #29 jasonp Tribal Bullet     Oct 2004 2·3·19·31 Posts The difference is that the CADO tools compute the size score by integrating in radial coordinates, whereas Msieve starts in radial coordinates and switches to computing the integral in rectangular coordinates. They don't compute the same numbers in general. Msieve uses the rectangular integral because pol51opt did, and the GGNFS scripts had a table of precomputed 'good' scores to shoot for. Nonetheless, the radial score is more robust for some reason, i.e. it finds a better minimum a lot of the time.
 2012-12-05, 07:05 #30 frmky     Jul 2003 So Cal 205410 Posts Here are approx. 1.3 million stage 1 hits: https://www.dropbox.com/s/spssx3ze8i...896_1.dat.m.gz Edit: I restarted the stage 1 search at different values. I'm now running the size optimization on this file now, and I will run the root sieve on those with the smallest score. Last fiddled with by frmky on 2012-12-05 at 07:16
 2012-12-05, 09:43 #31 poily   Nov 2010 3216 Posts So, the best murphy_e we have so far is about 2.5e-16, I wonder how CADO guys got murphy_e 2x larger than ours? Either their polynomial is quite extraordinary or they use different optimization algorihtms.
 2012-12-05, 17:49 #32 henryzz Just call me Henry     "David" Sep 2007 Cambridge (GMT/BST) 2·2,897 Posts Is it possible we should run msieve stage 2 on their stage 1 results or their stage 2 on our stage 1 results?
 2012-12-06, 03:00 #33 jasonp Tribal Bullet     Oct 2004 2×3×19×31 Posts I don't have access to the CADO stage 1 hits. We've collected 2.7M hits of our own, and they will all have stage 2 performed by both packages. Keep 'em coming! Ilya, I suspect a lot of the difference boils down to the more effective root sieve developed by Shi Bai for the CADO stage 2. From what I've seen it consistently produces better alpha scores without sacrificing as much polynomial size as Msieve needs. Last fiddled with by jasonp on 2012-12-06 at 03:03
