Looking to see if anyone had started a GIMPS (great internet search for Mersenne primes) LTT-affiliated team.  

 

check here for further information: http://www.mersenne.org/#

The only official teams i am aware of are boinc and folding.

There is a mersenne project in boinc, but i am not quite 

up to date on the relationship between the two. (if any at all)

Wasn't aware of the BOINC mersenne project, the website doesn't work for me right now and any info I can find about it was quite old.

 

Personally I haven't run GIMPS for a long time, but you will likely be running Prime95 24/7 to get anywhere in that.

 

If you want to hunt prime numbers, there is PrimeGrid on BOINC where I believe there is already a LTT team. I'm in another team there for a long time since before I discovered LTT. There is more choice of prime number type and the work units can be as big or small as you like, to scale with the size of potential prime numbers. It is my main project and I can offer help as needed.

Ill look into it.  Right now I am running my own adaptation of lucas-lehmer on an FPGA (spartan-6) as well as Prime95 24/7 on my 24 core system.  Might give one of the BIONC projects a shot.

Ooh, what sort of performance do you get on FPGA? I tried to look at them, but as not my speciality area I didn't get far with working out what they could do.

near that of a 500mhz celeron.  I need to work on multithreading still.  Whole thing runs on 5v @2a without a heatsink.

got my figures for CPU performance WAY off; corrected
