For 130 I have no idea what to do. I'm not a developer. But it is obvious that we need an acceleration of at least 100 times in the software itself. I don't know if that's possible. But you should think.
Solving 130-bit is equivalent to solving 4 to 8 billion 66-bit puzzles, so anyone can make their own math - do you have 8 billion seconds to spare? You can't "accelerate" something that runs at full speed and is already accelerated to the max. At most just make things run 2x, 3x, 10x faster on the same hardware, using all possible optimization tricks. But there is still the limitation based on the best known algorithm itself, software is just an implementation of theory, you can never have software or hardware that solves a problem faster than the underlying algorithm. There is no known "acceleration" of the theory, otherwise the problem would have been solved since long ago.
