Mersenne: energy consumption Prime95 on 130 computers

[Tijl Kindt]

Does anybody know how much more energy would be consumed by running Prime95 10 hours a day and on all workdays on 130 computers (would it be noticed on the electricity bill). And is there any risk for viruses? It’s because I’m trying to promote the program in my faculty of Science in Engineering, but they aren’t really convinced. Also because they say there could be conflicts with dll’s, different versions, ‘experiments’ of students and so on… Also they aren’t convinced that the program will never hinder the normal work of students on the computers.   So any help and hints to get them install the program on those 130 PC’s would be welcome.   Tijl Kindt (Belgium)   Men, this is crazy, a prime number of over 3.500.000 digits !!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope it’s true.
