GNFS (General Number Field Sieve)
The GNFS client package implements the sieving algorithms that converts a task specification into a set of useful results (called "relations").
GNFS is implemented in C, and has been ported to most Unix environments.
GNFS performs relatively little I/O, does not use the network, and has large (but configurable and constant for an entire run) memory requirements.
