We describe the RSA Factoring Problem and the solution developed by Lenstra and collaborators with sieving techniques of increasing power
|
|
The Web was used succesfully in the just completed RSA130 factoring -- an almost embarassingly parallel but very non trivial computation
|
|
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)

We overview architecture of FAFNER system used and lessons drawn for general Metacomputing administration MetaWeb
