This category is for distributed computing projects to either discover prime numbers, or factor very large numbers.

Resources in This Category

• Calculating Pi

  http://projectpi.sourceforge.net/
  Investigates and implements algorithms which may yield to distributed computation of the mathematical constant Pi.

• distributed.net

  http://www.distributed.net/
  A distributed computing project currently working on RC5-72 and OGR-27 (Optimal Golomb Rulers). Previous projects included CSC and DES.

• ECMNET

  http://www.loria.fr/~zimmerma/records/ecmnet.html
  Project to factor numbers using the elliptic curve method. Client and server software.

• Ellipsa

  http://www.ellipsa.eu/
  Primo, a primality proving program based on the ECPP algorithm. With Primo one can check crypto-primes and prove whether or not they are actually prime.

• Generalized Fermat Primes Search

  http://pagesperso-orange.fr/yves.gallot/primes/
  Project provides software to search for primes of a specific form. Coordinated via email.

• Goldbach's Conjecture and Factoring the Cryptographic Modulus

  http://www.coolissues.com/mathematics/Goldbach/goldbach.htm
  Algebraic Factoring of the Cryptography Modulus and Proof of Goldbach's Conjecture

• Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search

  http://www.mersenne.org/
  Online search for Mersenne prime numbers, found largest several primes.

• Seventeen Or Bust

  http://www.seventeenorbust.com/
  A distributed attack on the Sierpinski problem, trying to find the last remaining 17 numbers.

• The Prime Sierpinski Problem

  http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=2665
  Mathematical project to find the smallest prime Sierpinski number.
