Foil 25 Abstract for RSA Factoring on the Web

From General Collection of Foils for CRPC Annual Meeting CRPC Annual Meeting -- 14-17 May 1996 Argonne. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 We describe the RSA Factoring Problem and the solution developed by Lenstra and collaborators with sieving techniques of increasing power
2 The Web was used succesfully in the just completed RSA130 factoring -- an almost embarassingly parallel but very non trivial computation
3 The mathematicians are preparing code for RSA155 factorization and probably Web will be critical here to increase resources from Teraop-hours (RSA129/130) to the needed Teraop-Months (RSA155)
4 We overview architecture of FAFNER system used and lessons drawn for general Metacomputing administration MetaWeb
