Comment on Tell HN: GpuOwl/PRPLL, GPU software used to find the largest prime number

Comments

Hello!

I came across this new paper, INTEGER PARTITIONS DETECT THE PRIMES [1] from July, 2024, but I don't have enough knowledge to even read it. I wonder if an implementation of this method would provide any speed benefits compared to PRP.

Great work!

Sorry, I don't know, and I don't even have an oppinion on the paper yet.

PRP is a pretty efficient test though, I would consider it a breakthrough for anything to improve on the efficiency of PRP for mersenne candidates.
