Hi,

Does anyone know what was the prime exponent $p$ for the 44th \emph{possible} 
Mersenne prime recently discovered? 

By prime exponent I mean, for this possible 44th Mersenne prime, what was the 
value of the prime $p$ for

$2^{p} - 1$?

It would also be nice to know how much CPU time was used for the Gimps's 
Lucas-Lehmer test/software, and what kind of processors?
