Optimal Parameterization of SNFS

The Special Number Field Sieve factoring algorithm has a large number of parametric choices, each of which can affect its run time. We give guidelines for these choices along with a discussion of useful coding optimizations. We also give a theoretical argument which proves that the choice of sieving...
