Hi, thanks to Jens for completing the BLS test and checking for twin and SGs , and to David for doing the KP proof. Congratulations to Jason for discovering it...

Hi, I am wondering how much effort is going into finding a top twin prime to beat Daniel Papp's: http://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=883 . Is David...
... Phil should still be preparing a search for a 100k prime on form x^2+x+41. ... The record is 51090 digits. I made some quick estimates for a record near ...
From: "Jens Kruse Andersen" <jens.k.a@...> ... I kinda gave up on that after DB barged in. Duplication of effort is waste, so I stopped. There was no...
Hello Group! Sometimes one needs a little bit of luck, sometimes one even needs a lot of luck! ;-) While searching for a Cunningham Chain of length 8 by ...

The 10M-bit prime is a fake: 30077*2^10000000-1 is not prime. Res64: 272D38403C586A99 Time : 1036172.419 sec. http://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=75183 ...
... I had some false positives which were due to a flakey 7 year old operating system. When I double checked the error was revealed. I am now retesting the...
... Indeed! And I am wide open to suggestions. I lowered the allowable number of digits (if you submit very large numbers the page rejects them and says to...

Thomas Wolter recently returned home and checked his pc. A picture prp was found July 27, the day after the first prp by Jason Earls. Thanks to David for again...
... primes. ... You should just run a (default base-3) PRP test when looking for primes. This is due to Fermat's "little" Theorem. The test is much quicker...
... I tried running PRP tests before, and it seemed to run about the same speed as the BLS test, so I opted to go straight to the proof. With the current...
... 30 minutes for a 100000-digit GFN is well over the odds. On a 2.5GHz G5, my OversEis performs a SPRP test in 3m45s. On a 1.6GHz Centrino, the same test...

... Have you benchmarked how long it takes to run PFGW on a single processor of your dual Xeon? I believe you may be bottlenecked by memory, and as such,...
I need to write a c/c++ program to find a 512 bit prime number P which meets the following creteria: P is chosen randomnly P-1 has a large prime factor the...
