I'd also like to draw attention that a lot of this work was sponsored by IMC the market maker, Mihai's employer.

What! This is absolutely not true. My open source work was not sponsored by anyone. And IMC is not my employer. But really, how did you get this idea?

"primecurious", who you are and what is the purpose of such statements? how would you know who is or isn't sponsoring my work?

But just to set it straight, GpuOwl received exactly $0 contributions or sponsoring from exactly nobody. It's a pleasure work from my side, and it's open sourced for the easy access of curious minds to the algorithms and techniques implemented. I did receive great help, in the form of source-code contributions, most importantly from George Woltman.
