Help needed to factor Bernoulli(200)!
Barry Mazur (http://www.math.harvard.edu/~mazur/) and William Stein (http://modular.math.washington.edu/) wish to include the factors of the numerator of the 200th Bernoulli number in their upcoming book, and you can help! This is a large GNFS factorization, but NFS@Home has the ability to sieve it in 2-3 months. Therefore, I am placing 2,1019- on hold for a bit. If you have the memory for it please use the lasievef application help factor B200, and let's complete it as quickly as possible!

Answer to how much ram required for this drive: Greg said "lasievee tasks require about 500 MB each. lasievef and lasieve5f tasks require about 1GB each. Yes, just get and submit work the usual way."

That's not that much... BURP uses a lot more. :)
