Category: other

Tags: distributed-computing, prime-numbers, mathematics

Score: 4.3/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 2, Utility: 4)

This is a distributed computing project that searches for large prime numbers of the form k·2^n−1. It enables volunteers to contribute computing power to find million-digit primes, similar to projects like GIMPS but with a specific prime family focus.

Target audience: mathematicians, hobbyists, distributed computing enthusiasts
