http://www.mersenne.org/prize.htm mentions that if GIMPS gets the $100,000 award, the following will happen: Up to $10,000 total will be awarded to the discoverers of mathematical or algorithmic breakthroughs in searching for Mersenne primes. To qualify for the entire award the breakthrough must be simple enough to be implemented in prime95 and double current throughput. George Woltman will be the sole determiner of whether a suggested breakthrough will be implemented, how it affects throughput, and the dollar amount to be awarded. Examples of what does not qualify: optimizations of the present code, new CPU architectures, suggesting a parallelized FFT implementation, etc. Examples of what might qualify: a faster way to find factors, a way to eliminate or speed up double-checking, a new way to use smaller FFT sizes, etc. Is that good enough a reward for you? /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
