You didn't understand what I said. First I was giving a easy example to be understood and then I said breaking a composite integer into prime factors, 11 is already a prime factor that is actually proven as a prime. Prime factor is difference than only saying prime.
Take a look at the latest result: 3,637- factors
Quote:
The composite cofactor of 3,637- was the product of 85-digit and 127-digit prime numbers:
85-digit prime factor:
24362371790048691036429470508868735523952360071637 25889114267732351631395223998169289
127-digit prime factor:
12956206377215132913440461501990192401304695432213 25214558795515080650922339897532747195922323001636 473409360593989593377975691
Thanks go to M. Vang for performing the postprocessing. The factors have been reported to the Cunningham project and have been recorded on Page 125.
Re: Stomp SETI.USA NFS@Home members thread
In a simple way:
Primegrid looks for primes of the form N = k*b^n +/- 1, so they use a primality proving program called LLR.
NFS@Home, for the Cunningham Project (example), seeks to factor the numbers b^n +- 1 for b = 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, up to high powers n, by finding PRP's. A PRP is a probable prime number, a number that nobody knows how to prove or disprove its primality. A PRP could probably be proven prime using either Primo or a distributed version of ECPP.
Anyway, I posted a list of references where you can study this matter.

Uh oh. Mumps remembered he had done work on this project and is laying it down this month. No chance of catching him now.
Re: Stomp SETI.USA NFS@Home members thread
Passed theflux, next is darksheik.
Re: Stomp SETI.USA NFS@Home members thread
Nice job, Carlos. Keep up the good work. :)
Re: Stomp SETI.USA NFS@Home members thread
Within two days darksheik is history. Then Dean Loros to be stomped.
I'm slowly going up the stats with only one little tiny machine...la la la la la

Good stuff there Carlos but at some point in the future you should look in your rear view mirror. I am on NFS with 13 threads....... o:-) :bz

Let's see if you can get me. BTW, looking at your computers you are not maximizing your credit output. For the machines you have more than 1GB per thread/core you should run the lasievef application that gives you 65 points per wu in contrast with lasieved and lasievee applications that give you 36 e 44 points, respectively. So go to here:
http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/...subset=project
and set up your NFS@Home preferences like this (see bold):
lasieved - app for RSALS subproject, uses less than 0.5 GB memory: no
lasievee - work nearly always available, uses up to 0.5 GB memory: no
lasievef - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1 GB memory: yes
lasieve5f - used for huge factorizations, uses up to 1 GB memory: no
For the machines with less than 1GB per thread you can create a different profile or you can run 3 instances lasievef application. Note that running 3 instances of lasievef application (195 points) gives you more credit than running 4 instances of lasieved application (144 points).
Re: Stomp SETI.USA NFS@Home members thread
:-t I don't think it's a question of if Fire$torm will catch you but when.:-ss
And I'm just curious...why did you choose NFS as your sole project? If you're concerned about maximizing credits, there are other projects with better credit/hour ratios.
