PrimeGrid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PrimeGrid is a distributed computing project for searching prime numbers and finding twin primes of world-record size, and to test PerlBOINC. It makes use of the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) platform.
Primegrid worked with the Twin Prime Search to find record-size twin primes that are approximately 58,700 digits long. The project ended when a new twin of that size was discovered on January 15, 2007 (sieved by Twin Prime Search and tested by PrimeGrid). A project to search for twin primes that are just above 100,000 digits long is in progress.
