Mersenne: Second LL

1999-06-03 Thread Aaron Schaufenbuel

 Congratulations to everyone from GIMPS on the new *probable* prime, especially 
George! Just wondering, can you tell us when the second LL test will be finished, I'm 
guessing that your running it on something alittle faster than a standard PIII?

I've been in contact with Slowinski and Gage.  Cray time is a little
scarce right now.  However, a volunteer has started the test today 
running at idle priority.  It will probably take 4 weeks but could be less.

Ernst Mayer has also begun a verification.  It too will take about 4 weeks
depending on what speed hardware he can get his hands on.

Patience,
George
