I agree that all machines are contributing to our knowledge of Mersenne
numbers. The gaps will eventually be closed.
Hi all,
Thanks to all that have submitted timings. There are still plenty
of gaps to fill in and having multiple results for each machine is desirable.
My first draft of the benchmark page is at http://www.mersenne.org/bench.htm
Comments are of course welcome.
linux is a Good Move ... ceratinly, in its default state, it's at
least as secure (when used as a firewall) as anything emanating from
a certain purveyor of operating systems based near Seattle. It's
cheaper, too!
Please note: Seattle is about 5000 miles from where I am, despite my

Yes, this is perfectly true.
