In the late 1980s, Brumer and McGuinness [2] undertook the construction of a database of elliptic curves whose absolute discriminant |Δ| was both prime and satisfied |Δ| ≤ 10~8. While the restriction to primality was nice for many reasons, there are still many curves of interest lacking this property. As ten years have passed since the original experiment, we decided to undertake an extension of it, simultaneously extending the range for the type of curves they considered, and also including curves with composite discriminant.
