boinc 1 compute for science language boinc lets you help cutting edge science research using your computer the boinc app running on your computer downloads scientific computing jobs and runs them invisibly in the background it s easy and safe about 30 science projects use boinc they investigate diseases study climate change discover pulsars and do many other types of scientific research the boinc and science united projects are located at the university of california berkeley and are supported by the national science foundation start computing to contribute to science areas biomedicine physics astronomy and so on use science united your computer will help current and future projects in the areas you choose join science united or download boinc and choose specific projects this will let you participate in competitions and systems like gridcoin download boinc news from boinc projects srbase base s60 megaprime sightus cau a member of the team planet 3dnow found a megaprime for base s60 the prime 853 60 613855 1 has 1 091 530 digits and entered the t5k primepages view article wed 21 oct 2026 06 49 33 0000 numberfields home new faster apps coming soon new optimized versions of the getdecics app have been discussed in other threads but i thought it best to start a new thread first a thank you to alperen for optimizing the current apps yes he used claude but that s not necessarily a bad thing i don t have the experience required or the time to learn the avx tricks that were used here so without alperen and claude this probably never would have happened i have spent many hours going through the new code the original code was basically left untouched and the change was in the addition of a new subroutine that pre filters the polynomials prior to the normal processing chain this leaves just the one subroutine that needs validation from a theoretical perspective the method is sound the method can be decomposed into 2 parts 1 the first part was a simple trick i wish i had seen this myself that allows us to deal with the polynomial discriminant modulo a small set of primes this eliminates the need for the multi precision integers that were growing to 1000 bits and gives the first speed improvement this was simple enough i could independently code it up myself using pari s built in functions in some offline tests i was seeing a speed improvement of between 2 and 3 just for this simple change 2 the second improvement was in the coding of the resultant modulo q this was essentially done in parallel using avx2 which allows resultants to be computed for several primes simultaneously this is the part that is very tricky and hard for me to follow i welcome any expert in this kind of optimization to look at the code alperen has made it public here https github com alplix passiflora so the method in general is sound but the second part was hard for me to validate for this reason i will use sufficient testing to validate the new apps the idea is to test each new app version on 1000 old cases which can be taken as truth this will be done using the testdecics app that was recently created when an app is deemed good it will be transitioned into an official app i will be creating a new app called fastgetdecics where the new validated apps will go this will still allow me to keep the results separate it will also allow me to create new wus for the fast apps that will not put a burden on the server while retaining older style wus for the legacy apps this will give me time to test and migrate the fast apps in pieces rather than all at once app versions for the original getdecics will be deprecated once the corresponding fast version has been deemed trustworthy view article fri 16 oct 2026 18 24 26 0000 srbase base r235 megaprime vaughan
