What was the methodology,software, hardware, cpu cores, time taken?

Impressive. I wonder the methodology. Algorithmic improvements? More probably just an implementational optimisation. Last RSA record was due to special q sieving methods if I recall well, some 3k core hours. I hope there’s a theoretical improvement behind the result.
