Computing lower degree fields requires less processing power and have been more extensively tabulated but the degree 10 case is the first case requiring a massively parallel solution. After recalling this [https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2006/71/BOINC/ '''''article in Linux Magazine'''''], and knowing that the math department had limited resources (but access to a suitable workstation), a BOINC project was launched. | Computing lower degree fields requires less processing power and have been more extensively tabulated but the degree 10 case is the first case requiring a massively parallel solution.
