Phil: Was there an interesting story behind the composite http://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=78079 or was it just a "lapsus calami"? Best regards David...
... It's the same as my last composite. Copy-paste error. The program's running in the background, squirting results to the screen whilst I'm doing other...
I just noticed that Steven Harvey's found his hundredth PIES prime. As you can tell from his prover code, f2, he's been with the project since the heady days...
Yes, Phil, that is impressive. Well done, Steven. Diligent archivists may have noted that each of Steven's first 6 Pies was awarded two pom-poms (**). David...
Mark - is the rather fruitful binary you're using the same as the latest G5 binary in the files area? If not, can you upload it please? Hands up G5 owners who...

... This is excellent news. All G5 users should be spurred on by your amazing successes! Or be jealous! I've uploaded the exact binary you are using to the...
There's a bug in 'erat' which makes it not generate all possible primes of the correct format (== 1 modulo cyclotomic exponent). This means that the cyclotomic...
... Sanitised and brought on list. ... I lose phi(49152) times as many as anyone else at that depth, as that's the number of candidates I strike off per prime....
...on an Overseis several versions back, I found some primes. in the present I do too! Thanks, Mark and Phil for the new version: ./overseis.092.g5 -t 49152...
... Excellent. I'm glad to see that it's not just Mark who can find these super-peaches. I'm still waiting for mine ;-| (I've only tested about 70% of the...
Hi, ... Good! I've also been disappointed in the past by ranges, so I know how you feel! ... I remember you saying htat you also wanted this range tested. It's...

I was wondering both if the super-peaches had begun to make an impact on the top-1000 and also how close we are to the start of the peach haemorrhaging, so ran...
As perhaps Daniel is away on vacation, I thought that his pending Apples (exponent 98304, small limbs), would be a great test of the latest combined ...
In order to make sure you have the best quality candidates, and to ensure that I have the best quality code, I've been pushing DaPhiSiv beyond where it was...
Hi, like I said, bad news... Phi(49152,134217728) res=(-1+-0w) at bit 221171. maxerr=0.000000. Time=332.690 => is 2-SPRP. ./overseis.092.g5 -t 49152 134217728 ...
... Unfortunately, yes. This is a honest-to-goodness pseudoprime. "base 134217728 has 1 factors." is the clue. It's in fact 2^27. These bases which are powers...
The sieve drama has a tist to it - there was no problem with my erat, despite working with only the bottom 32 bits of 64 bit numbers! I don't know how or why,...
