Many thanks to all the ECM curves with group orders that were sent to me over the last week. I should have enough to build a reasonable QA suite. _ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Merse

Brian FYI I have directly computed the group order #E for each of your factors/sigmas below based on the Richard Crandall EC parameterization in Prime95.  They are: M1123:   #E = 777288435636813540 = 2^2*3*5*11*31*1823*38917*535489   M1621:   #E = 649412561966194102824 = 2^3*3^2*11*857*3967*94727*

One more, this one is a much larger exponent. The factor 17304916353938823097 of M111409 is found with sigma=8866098559252914, in stage 2 with B1 >= 4861 & B2 >= 343351. I didn't bother finding the critical limit for finding the factor in stage 1 as it would have taken a considerable amount of

Hi George I can supply working examples for ECM on 2^m+1 or more specifically for Fm = 2^(2^m)+1 cases for known factors of Fermat Numbers from F10 to F23. I can provide sets with (Fm, prime factor, sigma, smooth ECM group order). I just need to verify them with Prime95 v22.12 to avoid any egg-on-

Brian For M1123 the factor 777288435261989969 using sigma = 1459848859275459 has a group order of 777288435636813540 = 2^2*3*5*11*31*1823*38917*535489 thus: 1. In stage 1: B1 >= 535489 is required 2. Noting that 534241 is 44147th prime and 535489 the 44230th prime; In stage 2: B1 >= 38917 is

P-1 and ECM factoring is fairly complex code with several different paths based upon how much memory is available. I'd like to develop a fast QA suite for P-1 and ECM factoring. I intend to hardwire the test cases into prime95 (or read the data from a QA file) so that I can run them with several
