I've done a fair amount of heavy computing now. Integer factorisation is not something you can really improve with GPUs. This sounds extremely wasteful, a bunch of cheap CPU cores would do just as well with much lower hardware cost and electricity cost.
- saidnooneever 15d agobut we have AI now so it doesnt matter what people know about computers :'). we got plenty of rainforest to burn afterall have you seen Brazil?
- timcobb 15d ago~so then how does one even understand this post? you have a person who appears to have done some sort of expert-level thing; however, their approach doesn't even make sense...?~ edit: GPU discussed here https://cognition.com/blog/factoring-rsa-260 https://cognition.com/blog/factoring-rsa-260
- hughw 15d agoI don't get your argument. The GPU effectiveness derives from massive parallelism. Has nothing to do with integer vs floating point. You just can't cram 20,000 CPU cores in the same space a GPU puts the same number of SIMTs. You'll never crack it on CPUs.
