Just a belated note of congratulation to Phil for getting a parameter, k, into Phi_3. I would not have thought that this k could co-exist with FFT-wizardry,...
Michele, one of the GFN sievers of yore, has reserved k=10. The current reservation status looks as follows: MG - Phi(24576, 10*b^2) from 350000 up. SH -...
I've just uploaded 2 preliminary OSX clients, one for MaximEis (apples), one for OversEis (super-cherries). They were compiles with plain GCC 3.3, with no...
Having a borrowed G3-based Mac portable for the weekend (thanks must go to Juha Seppanen at work for that), I have been investigating to see how far I can push...
Thanks to Mark Rodenkirch, we have some shiny new G5/OSX benchmarks, based on my new optimised code (5-10% faster than the previous program, will upload ...
Mark's reached the G5's FPU's accuracy limit and has changed to k=2. I'll take over finishing his k=7 range. MR - Phi(24576, 2*b^2) from 890000-1000000 -...
I hear that Linux Journal, one of the more respected Linux magazines, is now carrying an article (in their paper edition) on PIES. The article was written by...
Yet again, the exploding FFT pointed the way to a Prime: <<< Phi(24576,1642652718588) is Composite. Time=224.710 Info: b=1642659500503=(7*1)*484423^2=...
Greetings everyone, Due to the Linux Journal article, we have two new members: David, and another Bob. (Yes, we already have a David, but he's merely a...
In addition to what's on the project webpage, here are some things that might ease the introduction to the project. Explaining jargon, etc. In fact, these ...
... Great! Shall you be known as Harold [SuperMac] Carmody in this incarnation :-? Is the linux article on line, please? Best wishes for boldly farming Apple...
... Celebrate! ... 420459?!?!?!? - you only started at 420000 - you're a lucky lucky man! I'm not complaining though! :-D ... OK - first we need to verify it's...
I'm checking apples in the range of 139700 to 139999 right now and every result is "probably composite." So I wonder, what's the probablity? Is this anything...
Super-cherries seem to be the flavour of the month. I believe that every fast machine put onto the job has found at least one already. (Steven, Mark, Bob H., ...
Pending verification, the fruit will weigh in at 196486 digits. The 200000-digit zone is looking quite close now, but I shall delay it for a few months as the...
Whatever it is, I want some for my machines! daniel23x 07/29 07:52:05 25 98304 1125 [932333][991824][1003271] 1125 PRP tests, and 3 PRPs! The expected density...
Predrag Minovic, who's been contributing to PIES for quite a while now, has jumped ship and has grabbed the first reservation. Due to improved maxerrs (they're...
I'd like to welcome Flavius Isac to our sister project "Les GeneFermiers". He and I will be sharing the k=10 range (due to user error when sieving) PM has...
I found these two today on my loane G5 from Apple: Phi(24576,1688699286450) Phi(24576,1689467561672) on the same CPU. I've only done 600 tests on that CPU, so...
... When I poked Frances to see if she'd found any PRPs, her response was "one last night and one this morning". Good things come in pairs, it appears. ... ...
I'm pleased to welcome another new tester, Janis, who found out about PIES through the Linux Journal article. Janis is no stranger to prime hunting, having...
After seeing the vast rate at which the client-server ranges are being processed, and the rather slow rate at which the manual reservations are being ...
Up real close: http://primes.utm.edu/bios/top20.php?type=project&by=PrimesRank Great GeneFermier-ing: brains and brawn! Best regards David (with regulation...
... I've been following that saga for a long while, as you can imagine. A fortnight ago 15k had a ~50 prime lead, but had ~30 60000-digit primes just waiting...
