As a young school student, you gained your first experience at breaking an integer into prime factors, such as 15 = 3 * 5 or 35 = 5 * 7. NFS@Home is a continuation of that experience, only with integers that are hundreds of digits long.]]></description> <home>California State University Fullerton</home> <platforms> <name>i686-apple-darwin</name> <name>i686-pc-linux-gnu</name> <name>windows_intelx86</name> <name>windows_x86_64</name> <name>windows_x86_64[notphenomiix6]</name> <name>x86_64-apple-darwin</name> <name>x86_64-pc-freebsd</name> <name>x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</name> </platforms> <image>https://boinc.berkeley.edu/images/NFS_Logo.jpg</image> <summary>Study the factorization of large integers</summary> </project>
