Mega Prime Search Now Running on BOINC
We have moved the PRPNet MEGA project over to the BOINC server. To run PPS-Mega, just select the PPS-Mega (LLR) app in your PrimeGrid Preferences (http://www.primegrid.com/prefs.php?subset=project).The PPS-Mega project is part of our Proth Prime Search (PPS) project. There's now three ranges of PPS tests:PPSE: Currently around n=1.3M and about 400K digitsPPS: Currently around n=2.1M and about 650K digitsMega: 3.322M < n < 3.6M and just over 1 million digitsThe PPS-Mega tasks take about an hour on the fastest computers (Intel Haswell CPUs). This project is ideal for finding mega primes. In all of history, only 97 mega primes have ever been found -- but PrrimeGrid has already found 17 so far this year.Will you discover the next mega prime?
