Convergence verification of the Collatz problem
Original language description
This article presents a new algorithmic approach for computational convergence verification of the Collatz problem. The main contribution of the paper is the replacement of huge precomputed tables containing O(2^N) entries with small lookup tables comprising just O(N) elements. Our single-threaded CPU implementation can verify 4.2×10^9 128-bit numbers per second on Intel Xeon Gold 5218 CPU computer, and our parallel OpenCL implementation reaches the speed of 2.2×10^11 128-bit numbers per second on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080. Besides the convergence verification, our program also checks for path records during the convergence test.
