The x86 FPU is unique with its 64 bits of precision, and is the only architecture capable of accurately testing the larger candidates in each range, which are...
I know I initially warned everyone that PIES was a finite project, due to the fact that Dan Bernstein's FFT library topped out at 8192 limbs. All those months,...
As a non-PIE-eater, I'm not sure if a comment is valid. ... Sounds to me like seriously good prospective news for PIE-eaters. When Phil said, some time ago, to...
Woh! magic keyboard presses cause bizarre browser behavior... ... All comments are valid. There are no stupid comments there are only stupid people, m'kay. ......
... Darn, I'd hoped (for my sake) it was the other way around. So Phil, make it simple for me. What do I do--just keep on keeping-on until my client fails to...
... It's possibly one of my least favourite South Park-isms, I don't know why I keep using it. M'kay! ... There's still a fair bit of 49152 work left, and as I...

... All fruits must be PIE-able. I've never heard of carambola pie. Surely you're not accusing me of having my priorities incorrect - the range themes were...
As readers may have observed, there may be a problem in applying rigorous marketing criteria, when both the CEO and also her technical advisor believe that a...
Also almost certainly known as first Apple PSP. There are some numbers b=2^x*3^y such that Phi(2^s*3^t, b) is 2-PSP. Phi(98304,4096) may well be such a beast....
So the observation is that Phi(3,-2^(3*2^(2^(2^2)))) is 2-PRP ? It sure looks like a good candidate to be a base-2 pseudoprime. It would be an amazing curio if...

... Yuppers... ... The infamous computational-number-theory helper 18446744069414584321 is such a beasty. (It's used for finite ring DFTs, aka NTTs.) I'll run...
Thanks to Bob Bruen, PIES has found its first apple! Phi(3,-(7726^16384)) 127401 f4 2004 Generalized unique There are minor issues with the client/server...
... Very nice! I think Phi(3,-7726^16384) looks nicer, but it was kind of you to put it in this form without a complaint because I know it is not your...
While it would be nice to have manual reservation of ranges coming from the same pool as the client-server range, I think that might be more hassle than it the...
It's nice to see the new program's 'curious fingerprint' detection heuristics kick in, and find a verifiable prime. There was no reason it shouldn't work, as...
To be honest, the maxerrs are pretty manageable, so I've added a pretty generous chunk to the server, all the way to b=2850000. This is enough for 20-25 more...
Whilst I'm debating declaring 2004 "worst year ever", in the small field of prime-finding, it's been pretty good. I was expecting one apple by the end of the...
... If one's of the appropriate orientation, then you're not entirely in the right. And as the 15k project is of that orientation, your advice is actually...
... I think LLR users realized that small k values not divisible by 15 were more IBDWT-friendly than larger values divisible by 15. Or at least that seemed to...
... Oh dear, I acted too quickly on your last mail and the server's been restarted and the ranges cancelled, so there's nothing that can be done. Those numbers...
... Just so everyone knows - there will be no duplication of work. Daniel recovered as many ranges as he could, and I manually marked them as done, so they...
Give that nonospaz (using the new Apple-specific program 'MaximEis', rather than the Peach code 'ForEis' you're using, which seems to have a _worse_ maxerr...
http://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=73338 PIES' 4th largest prime, #274 in the top 5000, and Steven's 2nd largest Phi(3,-24135^16384) 143611 digits ...
In the last 20 minutes - he's delivered another apple to Steven! Phi(3,-35822^16384) 149231 digits This makes me happy :-) Phil ===== When inserting a CD,...
