Hi,
This is an off the wall query about compute resources.
I am currently trying to compute all addition chain lengths for targets <=2^35. A few years ago I did these calculations for targets <= 2^34.
This is going to take me many, many months to do on my home hardware.
I was wondering if any mathematics researchers use cloud compute
services to do large calculations?
I have no idea yet if costs are reasonable or constraints on the
environment (memory etc) rule this out. I expect not as my memory
constraints are about 4GB virtual and could be limited quite a bit
further if needed.
So I was looking to see if others have gone down this path.
Thanks.
Neill.
