found ECM factors are shown multiple times

#1 Ungelesener Beitrag von Marty » 26.05.2011 01:36

When i follow the link for "ecm factors found" from my account page (user-id 5121) i see 2 entries for the same factor (see below) each with a different timestamp. This seems to have started sometime around October of last year. It doesn't look right to me.

ECM factors found:

This is right and happens sometimes.
ECM is a trial factoring method. So for a given number we run 1000 or 2000 or more trials. If one trial returns a factor the remaining trials are aborted. Means not yet send wus are aborted and clients are informed on ther next contact to abort not yet started trials.
But if the client has already started a wu or if the client doesn't contact the server the wu isn't aborted and might find the factor again.
