Does anyone know if it is 10M digits or not??? P.S. If anyone is interested in joining team StarQwest and searching for M45, post a reply to this messege.

Thanks - *bookmarking the linked site*

Here it is - exponents cleared yesterday between 17:00 UTC and 18:00 UTC (I inserted an L for first time Lucas Lehmer testing):

Edit: removed expos cleared with a factor.

Edit2: What's the story with 14976869? Was this a first time LL or a doublecheck?

 2006-09-05, 20:00 #30 Jeff Gilchrist     Jun 2003 Ottawa, Canada 7·167 Posts Just to let everyone know, I started a verification run yesterday on an Itanium2 system using 16 CPUs with Guillermo's glucas software. I was having a few problems using OpenMP but the pthreads version seems to be running stable now. So far I have completed just 2.5%. It is a shared system so the speed is fluctuating slightly depending on the load but the verification should be complete between 9 to 11 days from now. An interesting observation, I also have it running on an Opteron 275 (2.2 GHz) dual dual-core system using 4 CPUs to verify that I got it working properly on the Itanium. The Opteron system is running about half the speed of the 16 Itanium2 1.6 GHz processors which is a great show of how good the hyper-transport bus of the Opteron is.

So it seems to be smaller than the last found prime.
There, it took you 12-13 days, plus there was probably more free CPU time around christmas (but now, we have holiday season)...

Hum. Remember that GLucas is not NUMA-aware. With a benchmark like SPECjbb2005, which can be run in a way NUMA is perfectly managed, large Itanium2 machines show perfectly scalable. Though Opteron-made machines are not. Due to the design of its memory bus, Intel's WoodCrest also is not scalable (I've experimented with prime95 benchmark).
About verifying M44, I was at Hospital all day today for helping my wife. So, I missed the early emails ... I've discovered the story less than 2 hours ago. Tomorrow, I'll ask Bull managers if they are interested in verifying M44. If yes, and if a machine is available, that should take only 6 days, I guess. But, for the first time out of 4, a big Mersenne prime is not discovered during French vacations, so probably all machines are already used for very important projects. I'll let you know.
Regards,
Tony

If I am correct, it has had one confirmed test and 17 tests awaiting double-check. The error codes have always been zero (no errors).
