Description Paolo Pedroni 2019-09-19 13:00:05 UTC
Version 29.8 build 6 of sci-mathematics/gimps is available for download.

Changelog:
1)  Support added for AVX-512 FFTs.
2)  FMA3 FFTs now have slightly higher FFT crossover points.  Soft crossovers are
    no longer used by default.  See undoc.txt.
3)  Torture test dialog box options now based on cache sizes.  Options for performing
    a weaker torture test are available.  Torture tests that use all RAM are now more
    stressful.  In-place vs. not in-place memory accesses now displayed on screen.
    On machines with more than 4GB of memory, blend defaults to 1/16th of RAM.
4)  Add & subtract operations for AVX-512 FFTs are now multithreaded.  This should
    improve performance for P-1 and ECM when using multiple threads.
5)  Benchmark results are now written to results.bench.txt.
6)  JSON results are now available for all work performed.  JSON results are
    written to results.json.txt.
7)  PRP tests with Gerbicz error checking are more immune to hardware errors.

This is a candidate for stable in due time.

Github PR will follow soon.
