Choose your own K and work on finding a top-5000 prime! - Page 37

I posted an update to the generate_maxlen.py script which revamps the CLI interface. It now uses the Python argparse standard library module, which makes it a lot nicer. I've also added support for specifying a max n in lieu of a max FFT length and moving the verbose flag to the CLI. It now has a built-in help message generated by the module, so check that for the details.

Perhaps an admin should make a new thread for such script-related posts, better finding later.

The (near-)Woodall k's listed in https://www.mersenneforum.org/showpo...&postcount=363 have been completed to n=425k. The following primes were found:

1993191*2^405251-1

I've completed the remaining RPS 9th and 10th Drive k's with missing ranges from n=325k to 350k. 14 primes were found, which are attached. I brought an old laptop into the fold, and I have a new Kubuntu Focus on the way, so this project (to n=400k) may be done by this summer.
