Bernard Parisse got access to a CoCalc server dedicated to developing mathematical software, thanks to William Stein. He was able to run Giac on that CoCalc server during the last 3 months, to improve the Groebner basis source code, and eventually could solve the huge cyclic10 benchmark on Q: 2225 primes were required for Chinese remaindering, 217G of memory, and more than 200 sequential days computation (10 days real time).

For more details, see the report:

In the sage-devel discussion, Roman Pearce mentions a trick used in Maple.
