TWIRL

v. cause to spin, rotate rapidly; twist; twiddle

n. rapid rotation, spinning motion, whirl, twist; something having a spiral shape

In cryptography and number theory, TWIRL (The Weizmann Institute Relation Locator) is a hypothetical hardware device designed to speed up the sieving step of the general number field sieve integer factorization algorithm. During the sieving step, the algorithm searches for numbers with a certain mathematical relationship. In distributed factoring projects, this is the step that is parallelized to a large number of processors.
