Hi all,
While running ECM on this exponent I have noticed a throbbing sound,
somewhat similiar to a ceramic plate being spun on a hard surface; this
differs from the usual continuous hum of running an LL test. I have read
the FAQ entries relating to noise, but none of them mention a noise related
to ECM.
While I am satisfied that it is safe for the machine, I have, after
estimating that I can expect a long runtime, moved the assignment down my
worktodo file; some of the doublechecks I have saved up to run are nearly a
full million behind the current 'cutting edge', and I don't feel comfortable
slowing everything down by over a week.
In any event, though, I cannot help being somewhat curious about the source
of the sound. Does it relate to the writing to and from memory?
Nathan
