The participants focused on two areas: improving Dr Agrawal's technique, and using similar methods to attack other problems in number theory.
They are also touting the processor as a solution for use in solving hard problems involving complex systems as well as number theory problems.

But for most encryption systems, especially the Public Key systems that are widely used by the banks, you need to know very sophisticated number theory, analytic number theory, elliptical theory.
Mersenne primes are most relevant to number theory, but most participants join Gimps for the fun of having a role in real research - and the chance of finding a new Mersenne prime.

Steven Hillion is vice president of analytics at EMC Greenplum, and has led engineering at firms such as Siebel, KANA and QRS. His educational background includes a major in number theory at the University of California, Berkeley, which got him thinking about moving software engineering closer toward mathematical applications.

At first glance, it may be easy to see a number of deficiencies in the efficient market theory, created in the 1970s by Eugene Fama.
Police said there were a number of lines of inquiry but one theory was that the shooting was in reprisal for an earlier gun attack.
That would enable physicists to see whether the number of high-energy positrons matches the theory's expectation and thus, appropriately, use shadows to cast light on the existence of dark matter.

British telecom giant and Verizon Wireless co-owner Vodafone could also make a play, divesting itself of its Verizon interests, under the theory that having all of the number three carrier is better than half of number two.
The theory that public smoking bans cut the number of children born prematurely has been strengthened by new research.
And systems and complexity theory suggest strongly that a relatively small number is in play when it comes to the size of the critical mass of folks in whom lost confidence can have sweeping, cascading effects.

Ms. PRIEST: Well, you know, the further you get up, the theory is the fewer people, the fewer number of people see something or read into something.
My theory says no: If you have a large number of price changes, a small number of days are important.

But across the population the number of children born with disorders is likely to increase if this theory holds true.
In theory, LIBOR is supposed to be a pretty honest number because it is assumed, for a start, that banks play by the rules and give truthful estimates.
