How many of those graphics cards implement double-precision floating point? While it's possible to implement a LL test using only 32-bit integers, unless those graphics cards can do wide integer multiplies that scheme would also be impossible to port as well. Using graphics cards for finding primes is a long-standing FAQ, and the answer is always no, but as time goes on there are fewer and fewer reasons it's impossible. jasonp ------------------------------------------------------ This message was sent using BOO.net's Webmail. http://www.boo.net/ _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
