Does anyone know what T level we should search upto for n=20m.

As we go into a higher and higher T range we get deminishing returns for our computational efforts find more excluded (previously found factors, duplicates, etc.).

There was a site somewhere where it was discussed that we should reach T=300T before n=6m. Sieveing beyond 300T for n<6m would be ineffective and your better off doing P-1 or prp until the n reaches 6m. So since we are using a dat file that reports only upto n=20m at what point should we stop sieveing for n<20m?

I know it's way in the future but is it 1000T 10,000T or 600T?

Seems like the resource allocation model says that it's valuable to us to go until we hit 5800T or we finish the test with n < 20m. Of course, that figure is for 16.5m, so at least 5.8P.
