Hi,
The P4-optimized version of prime95 is ready for adventurous users
to try out. Ordinarily I would not release a trial version at this point,
but I'm sure
P4 owners are itching for a 3x performance boost.
If you do not own a P4, then DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION.
It contains no new features and your results will be marked invalid if we
later discover a bug in this code.
ECM does not work, P-1 factoring and LL testing appear to be
operational.
If you try out this version, please let me know of any problems. It would
be helpful if you ran double-check assignments for a few weeks. Also, please
send me some benchmarks to add to http://www.mersenne.org/bench.htm
Mine are already there.
The new version can be downloaded at
ftp://mersenne.org/gimps/p95v21a.zip This is the only link to this
version - you won't find a link on the web site.
Have fun,
George
