> Out of curiosity, what are the memory expenses of the trial factoring code?
I'm trial factoring 79,299,907 right now... Prime95 is using 752 kilobytes of real memory and 3,752 kilobytes of virtual memory... >From an email of mine with George: >5 - In my testing of the memory footprint for factoring, I found that >Prime95 never used more than ~4MB, even on my 79.3M exponents... Is this >always true? Yes. I've never measured memory usage, but it should be very small. The code uses a 4KB sieve and an array of small primes that shouldn't be more than 64KB.
