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 performs relatively little I/O - embarrassingly parallel, and has large (but configurable and constant for an entire run) memory requirements.
