Project name: NFS@home
Project URL: http://escatter11.fullerton.edu/nfs/
Description: NFS@Home is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to do the lattice sieving step in the Number Field Sieve factorization of large integers. 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.
Platforms: Macintosh, Linux, FreeBSD, Windows
Calculates using GPUs: No
Has an OpenGL screen saver: No
