Msieve Integer Factorization Tool Version 1.49: 6/16/11
- Generalized the degree 6 root sieve to also handle degree 4 and 5. This makes stage 2 of NFS polyomial selection hugely faster for very large problems - Allowed the target matrix density within NFS filtering to be specified from the demo binary (multiple people have asked for this and I'd been too lazy to supply it) - Modified the MPI code to flag in-place gather and scatter operations as such (thanks Greg Childers) - Performed a major overhaul of the various Readme files - Fixed an erroneous error check in the MPI code (thanks Ilya Popovyan) - Fixed an MPI race condition in the Lanczos restart code (thanks Jeff Gilchrist) - From Brian Gladman: added build fixes for the latest CUDA tools - Modified the NFS square root to print out factors as they are found (thanks Paul Leyland) - Made the library report the current SVN revision, determined at compile time. This should finally end the confusion about exactly which revision of the demo binary is running - Added the (current) linux CUDA include and library paths to the Makefile (thanks Paul Leyland)
