Efficient SIMD arithmetic modulo a Mersenne number

Joppe W. Bos, Thorsten Kleinjung, Arjen K. Lenstra, and Peter L. Montgomery

Abstract

This paper describes carry-less arithmetic operations modulo an integer $2^M - 1$ in the thousand-bit range, targeted at single instruction multiple data platforms and applications where overall throughput is the main performance criterion. Using an implementation on a cluster of PlayStation 3 game consoles a new record was set for the elliptic curve method for integer factorization.

Note: Formerly known as "Pushing the Limits of ECM"
