GMP used during 3 and a half years to solve MIT's LCS35

[Torbjörn Granlund]

  Increasing the clock frequency increases the power consumption faster
  than linear, though not fully as much as the square I am told.

While this is not the electronics-dicsuss mailing list, I cannot let
this misunderstanding stand.  :-)

The power consumption of a circuit (let's approximate it with a
capacitor!) is linear in the frequency.

The power consumption of a capacitor varies quadratically with the
voltage.

(But for circuits, one may need to increase voltage to allow enough
charge to flow as one increases the frequency.)
