    Reading the published paper on this Mersenne number reveals some significant details: http://physics.fullerton.edu/gchilders/M1061.pdf
    "The total computational effort expended on sieving was approximately 3 CPU-centuries and yielded 671, 385, 523 unique relations."
    Kudos to the thousand or so DC volunteers as mentioned in the paper.
