#1 NumberFields@home New application coming soon

Post by Newshound »


In the coming days we will be introducing a new number field application. This one will target degree 7 fields (called septics). The current best bound is 5E6, and this app will increase that to 200E6. This means it will find all degree 7 fields whose discriminant is bounded by 200E6.



Here is some additional information:

1. This search is expected to run for only 5 to 6 months (but could take longer).

2. It will run side-by-side with the current decic app.

3. It will only support the 64bit Windows and 64 bit Linux platforms.
