Barry Mazur and William Stein wish to include the factors of the numerator of the 200th Bernoulli number in their upcoming book, and you can help! This is a large GNFS factorization, but NFS@Home has the ability to sieve it in 2-3 months. Therefore, I am placing 2,1019- on hold for a bit. If you have the memory for it please use the lasievef application help factor B200, and let's complete it as quickly as possible! |

How much ram dose each task roughly require? |

will these tasks come through in the normal way or do we need to do something different ? |

lasievee tasks require about 500 MB each. lasievef and lasieve5f tasks require about 1GB each. Yes, just get and submit work the usual way. |

lasievee tasks require about 500 MB each. lasievef and lasieve5f tasks require about 1GB each. Thankyou for the clarification I thought by the following If you have the memory for it please use the lasievef application help factor B200B200 had special memory requirements. |

I hope that our team have been able to help you out a bit, but the credits stills sucks for VERY demanding wu's ;) |

Actually not Bob, then I wouldn't crunch these ones, I'm doing this for the interest in the project & to help out =). ...sorry a bit off the topic. |

So what's the progress on B200? |

My system has plenty of memory so I don't mind doing these all the time if that is possible. |

My system has plenty of memory so I don't mind doing these all the time if that is possible. You need at least 5 GB. |

If you have sufficient memory, then you can to into NFS@Home preferences on the website, click on Edit NFS@Home preferences, and disable the lasievee application. This will mean that you will only receive the large-memory workunits that are worth more credit. |

Is this project complete now ? |

The sieving is done, so NFS@Home is done with the number. But the linear algebra must now be performed to complete the factorization. That will likely take 2 months or longer. |

Will this mean more Work Units for us to process ? |

Will this mean more Work Units for us to process ? Only if filtering phase fails. Greg, pay attention to spammers in the forum. In this thread you have two: yoluck and harley depp. |
