"Those of you with your eyes on the red or green jerseys might want to take a look at this: http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=6502&nowrap=true#105316
A GFN-18 has been found, which is the largest prime found so far in this
year's TDP, and is larger than current SR5 candidates. Unless I
messed up the math, its prime score should be around 5000 or so, which
also makes it a good contender for the green jersey.
The bar has been raised!
With this GFN-18, we've now found 10 mega primes this month, which is a
new record. (We found 8 mega primes in a single month twice in 2016.)
Six mega primes were found during last year's TDP. "
"We've found another n=18 (262144) prime!
On 24 Feb 2017 7:16:40, the 1,677,825 digit prime 2514168^262144+1 was found by wdethomas using the OCL4 (combined) app.
The double checker of this task was Hans-Jürgen Bergelt on 24 Feb 2017 12:21:21 using the OCL4 (combined) app.
Congratulations!"
"GFN-262144 Mega Prime!
On 24 February 2017, 07:16:40 UTC, PrimeGrid’s Generalized Fermat Prime Search found the Generalized Fermat mega prime:
2514168^262144+1
The prime is 1,677,825 digits long and enters Chris Caldwell's The Largest Known Primes Database ranked 5th for Generalized Fermat primes and 52nd overall.
The discovery was made by William de Thomas (wdethomas)
of Puerto Rico using an NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X in an Intel(R)
Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU at 4.00GHz with 16GB RAM, running Microsoft
Windows 10 Professional Edition. This GPU took about 18 minutes to
probable prime (PRP) test with GeneferOCL4. William is a member of the Puerto Rico Assisting Science team.
The prime was verified on 24 February 2017, 12:21:21 UTC by Hans-Jürgen Bergelt (Hans-Jürgen Bergelt)
of Germany using an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 in an Intel(R) Core(TM)
i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz with 8GB RAM, running Microsoft Windows 10 Core
Edition. This GPU took about 37 minutes to probable prime (PRP) test
with GeneferOCL4. Hans-Jürgen is a member of the SETI.Germany team.
The PRP was confirmed prime by an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @
4.20GHz with 16GB RAM, running Microsoft Windows 10 Professional. This
computer took about 8 hours 7 minutes to complete the primality test
using LLR."
I hope I get a jersey for this one!!
Update 3/8/2017: Got both RED and GREEN Jersey!!!
