CW: Oh no, I’m tooting about Mersenne primes again!
Cool math news from #GIMPS (Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search)!
They have 97 double-checks to go before 2⁷⁴²⁰⁷²⁸¹-1, the 49th *discovered* Mersenne prime found by Curtis Cooper at the University of Central Missouri in 2015, is confirmed to be the 49th *overall* Mersenne prime (with no sneaky primes before it falsely reported as composite!)

Luke Durant hat die bislang längste #Primzahl gefunden: 2 hoch 136.279.841–1. Eine Zahl mit über 41 Mio. Dezimalstellen! Durant hat die Zahl im Rahmen des #GIMPS-Projekts entdeckt, das auf verteilte #Computerkapazitäten setzt und neuerdings vor allem #GPU mit den langwierigen Rechnungen für Primzahlen beschäftigt.
Das ZDF hat den Versuch für Kinder erklärt: https://www.zdf.de/kinder/logo/mathe-primzahl-rekord-100.html
Die VDI Nachrichten beschreiben das Ganze für Erwachsene: https://www.vdi-nachrichten.com/technik/forschung/bisher-groesste-primzahl-entdeckt-wie-gpus-dabei-halfen/

GIMPS: нам нужны твои процессор и видеокарта
Приветствую всех любителей математики и больших простых чисел, а особенно - интересующихся, но ещё не погрузившихся в эту тему. Пару недель назад было найдено очередное простое число Мерсенна - и я, пользуясь тем, что это событие подогрело интерес к проектам распределённым вычислений, хочу рассказать вам подробнее, что из себя представляет Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search. И, конечно же, по возможности, убедить присоединиться. Итак, Великий Интернет-поиск Простых Чисел

When technology meets mathematics: The A100 GPU powers the discovery of the latest giant in the prime number world! 🚀💻✨🔍💡🧮💥🎉
The "new" largest prime was discovered today (October 21, 2024)! It's a Mersenne prime \( (2^p-1 )\), which is easier to find because it can utilize a specialized "faster" primality test (known as LLT, i.e., Lucas-Lehmer test). On October 11, an NVIDIA A100 GPU in Dublin, Ireland, reported that M136279841 is probably prime. On October 12, an NVIDIA H100 in San Antonio, Texas, USA, confirmed primality with a Lucas-Lehmer test.
\[\Huge 2^{136,279,841}-1\]
It took nearly 6 years for the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS )software to find it after the previous largest known prime. It was also the first Mersenne prime found using GPUs.

Сорок мегабайт простоты
Привет, Хабр! Наконец-то я могу опубликовать статью, написание которой оттягивал, кажется, целую пятилетку. Ну, знаете, "можешь не писать - не пиши", да и повода особого не было... Но теперь повод появился - да ещё какой! - в свете которого не схватить перо было бы сущим престулением. Без лишних предисловий - найдено 52-ое известное простое число Мерсенна! Какое-какое число?

The largest #PrimeNumber (so far) was discovered five years ago today!
It’s a #MersennePrime discovered by a computer used by Patrick Laroche, an IT professional from Florida, who used the #prime-finding software Prime95 to stress-test his builds. It’s part of something called #GIMPS (Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search) that anyone can participate in and maybe discover the next largest Mersenne prime!

After a nearly two year break, my PC is back at number crunching for the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search: https://www.mersenne.org/why_join/.
Concerning the added cost of electricity, it's a good trade-off between not using my heating, ever.
