They are on the near-term to-do list, if someone else doesn't get to them first. They are on Sam's latest wanted list. Also near term are 2,1714L,M, the latter of which may be the project's first GNFS. |

The three most recent additions to the list under "Status of Numbers" are the Cunningham numbers of "snfs difficulty" 259 (neglecting two at 258.8 that would have required a quartic polynomial). The two you mention are at 252.5; so more overhead switching numbers. One of the three added is a 2LM (1726L), so 2LM's aren't being neglected here (two of the 16 on the "Numbers" list). One of the others just added is the 3rd-from-last to be reserved from the previous list of "Wanted" numbers (viz, 7, 307+; with the other two above the current NFS@Home range). From the new "Wanted" lists Greg's post refers to (mailed as hardcopy with the factors on Sam's "Page 112"; we're still waiting for the online version), all of the "Most Wanted" are already reserved (three currently here in "Post Processing"). Not counting the third of our new "Numbers" (6, 334+), there are just ten new "More Wanted" not already reserved, including the two you've mentioned. We should be able to clear several of these. -bdodson (PS - The term "snfs difficulty" refers to the estimate for the runtime of our factorizations, as measured by the asymptotic formula.) |
