If you mean the number of Cvecs in a WU, then no. A Cvec is a "congruence vector" and is the set of congruences on the polynomial coefficients in order for the polynomial to represent a field with the desired ramification properties. The number of Cvecs in a WU file depends on the total number of Cvecs and the estimated run time for the particular subsearch. For example, on the current search sf6_DS11x11, there were a total of 96,000,000 Cvecs and I estimated the total runtime to be about 1,500,000 hours. Since I aim for 1 hour work units, I created 1,500,000 files, each with 96/1.5 = 64 Cvecs. Hopefully that makes some sense. ID: 3537 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
