Generalized Fermat Prime Search
The Generalized Fermat Prime Search (http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=3980&nowrap=true#47694) is now out of beta and open to all users. An Nvidia GPU with double precision floating point hardware is required for this project. Also, MacIntel CPU's are supported at the current N=262144 (b^2^18).A wealth of discussion has been gathered during the beta phase. For any issues or questions, please see the Generalized Fermat Prime Search forum (http://www.primegrid.com/forum_forum.php?id=75).This search will eventually reach N=4194304 (b^2^22) which, if successful, has the potential of discovering the world's largest known prime number. Current testing times at N=262144 are ~1 hr for fast GPU's and ~7 hrs for fast MacIntel CPU's.Best of Luck to everyone!
