  2. Prime95 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime95

    Prime95, also distributed as the command-line utility mprime for FreeBSD and Linux, is a freeware application written by George Woltman. It is the official client of the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS), a volunteer computing project dedicated to searching for Mersenne primes. It is also used in overclocking to test for system ...

    In 2018, GIMPS adopted a Fermat primality test with basis a=3 [6] [7] as an alternative option for primality testing, [8] while keeping the Lucas-Lehmer test as a double-check for Mersenne numbers detected as probable primes by the Fermat test. [9]

  4. List of Mersenne primes and perfect numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mersenne_primes...

    New Mersenne primes are found using the Lucas–Lehmer test (LLT), a primality test for Mersenne primes that is efficient for binary computers. [ 2 ] The displayed ranks are among indices currently known as of 2022 [update] ; while unlikely, ranks may change if smaller ones are discovered.

  5. Mersenne prime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_prime

    Mersenne numbers are very good test cases for the special number field sieve algorithm, so often the largest number factorized with this algorithm has been a Mersenne number. As of June 2019 [update] , 2 1,193 − 1 is the record-holder, [ 27 ] having been factored with a variant of the special number field sieve that allows the factorization ...

    George Woltman (born November 10, 1957) is the founder of the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS), a distributed computing project researching Mersenne prime numbers using his software Prime95. He graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a degree in computer science. He lives in North Carolina.

  7. Lucas–Lehmer primality test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas–Lehmer_primality_test

    The Lucas–Lehmer test works as follows. Let M p = 2 p − 1 be the Mersenne number to test with p an odd prime.The primality of p can be efficiently checked with a simple algorithm like trial division since p is exponentially smaller than M p.

  8. Hardware stress test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_stress_test

    A stress test (sometimes called a torture test) of hardware is a form of deliberately intense and thorough testing used to determine the stability of a given system or entity. It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity , often to a breaking point, in order to observe the results.
