Hi,
I've got my old PIII
500Mhz factoring 30,000,NNN up to 2^68, and it's proceeding in stages, currently
looking at factors up to 2^66. Just wondering about the mechnics, it wasn't
quite clear from my reading of the Factoring section of the GIMPS site: does
each 2^N stage take twice as long as the previous, or is it a non-linear law ?
Does a current stage 2^N include the
previous 2^(N-1), or does the code really look at factors "between" 2^(N-1) and
2^(N), ie. doesn't go over the same ground twice.
Cheers,
Greg
