I'm not up to trying to use ggnfs yet; I just want to understand how various parts of NFS work. For example, I'm fuzzy on whether SHARK is mostly the same as...

Hi, I am trying to factor a C130, and have found that matsolve is not behaving itself (or, perhaps, the relations I found were not very good). After matsolve...
... Thanks. I think that I will try reprocessing the relations. I have in the past had a little trouble with that: I change the ALIM and RLIM values, this...
In my experience, you just need to sieve a little more. In factLat.pl, is maxrelsinff set to 0? If so, that often causes it to stop sieving too early....
Another idea ... this also sometimes happens if you've sieved too much as well and matprune is significantly decreasing the size of the matrix. If you...
Hi, I'd like to thank you for the responses to my recent enquiry. I tried the suggestion of modifying the alim and rlim values by a small amount to force...
First of all, Hi! I'm new to this group, but have been factoring (with ecm) since about erm... 10 years. Now I've discovered how to compile a bit, and got...

No problem. Can somebody please reply for the following questions: How can we run GGNFS in many computers for both sieving and matrix solving? Is it correct to...
Hello everyone, I've been successfully factoring numbers with GGNFS for a long time now and am always impressed with its performance. However, I've recently ...
