Contribution and Reservation

ECM, P-1, P+1

Look for prime factors by GMP-ECM first. Refer to the section "Efforts by ECM". Not only ECM but also P-1/P+1 may be helpful.

NFS

Use GGNFS and/or Msieve if GMP-ECM cannot find a factor. The SNFS difficulty of this composite number is 172.60-digit and the GNFS difficulty is 128.41-digit. SNFS must be faster than GNFS. It will take about 2 CPU-days to factor this composite number on 64-bit Opteron-2600MHz.

Steps of SNFS

1. Put factMsieve.pl to which $GGNFS_BIN_PATH and $NUM_CPUS were modified properly in the working directory 44443_172.
2. Put the following polynomial file 44443_172.poly in there too.
3. And then, run "perl factMsieve.pl 44443_172".

These parameters were not fully adjusted. The approximate expressions which were used for making the parameters are: deg=expt<=105?4:expt<=210?5:6 or expt<=144?4:6; d=log10(c[deg])+deg*log10(m)[digits]; time=10^(d/30-4)[hours]; skew=|c0/c[deg]|^(1/deg); rlim=round(7*10^(d/60+3)); lpbr=floor(d/25+21); mfbr=floor(d/8+31); rlambda=floor(d/25+18)/10;
