Mersenne: More 10,000,000+ factors

1999-06-20 Thread Anonymous
I have found 12,209 new factors in the range of Brian's 10,000,000+ digit. All of the other primes in this ranges have tested through 2^45. They are avalaible at: http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/fact45 or http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/fact45.gz These just include the new factors. -Lucas Wiman

It's "testing" 2^25,000,009 - 1 right now. It can test one factor every 1.3 seconds. AUGH! At that rate it would take 95 *billion* years to trial divide by all odd numbers under 2^62. Nooo Don't forget, it's not just odd numbers, you only need to trial divide by numbers that end in 1, 3,

Great! Can we get FPGA chips at Digikey or Mouser? How much do they go for? -Chuck On Fri, 18 Jun 1999, Aaron Blosser wrote: My understanding is that it comes with a language of its own. My impression is that it is an icon based language. Kind of like connect the blocks into a flow

The one I used is from Viewlogic (www.viewlogic.com). They have a full set of programs for designing, simulating, routing and programming FPGA's. It is a VERY nice set of tools, but as you might guess, VERY expensive as well. I did just order a 30 day evaluation CD from them though...it's

Will change the "engine" to keep going to 2^33 after finding the first factor report the results from that. OK, here's the results. (All factors to 2^33 found, input is 159,975 largest primes 36 million) Sieve 6 smallest primes, 3517525 calls, 40.15s Sieve 10 smallest primes, 2972446

Only HP and Solaris. :( Why don't they release the source and let me compile it myself? Maybe gEDA will include such a program. if you are paying $50,000 to $100,000 a seat for a program, you BUY the computer it needs. Other vendors of similar FPGA software include Vantis (formerly AMD's PAL
