Description Paolo Pedroni 2024-06-26 09:48:21 UTC

Version 3.19 build 20 of sci-mathematics/gimps is available for download (~x86 and ~amd64 only, as it's a binary release).

From mersenneforum.org (https://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=658516&postcount=952):

* Better handling of Stage2ExtraThreads and auto-adjust in calculating ECM optimal B2.
* Torture test now defaults to a max of 90% of physical RAM.
* ECM stage 1 and stage 2 memory is now allocated in one or a few big chunks. My Windows laptop was taking 6 minutes(!) to free 110,000 gwnums.

This is considered stable by upstream, I will request stabilization ASAP.

Github PR will follow soon.
