A Prime Example of High Performance Computing
(posted Thursday August 31 2006, 14:52)

SHARCNET computers have recently confirmed the world’s largest Mersenne prime number, comprised of 7,816,230 digits. Jeff Gilchrist, a graduate student from Carleton University, used a SHARCNET parallel computer to verify the accuracy of the record-breaking figure, discovered in February 2005 by Dr. Martin Nowak, an eye surgeon from Michelfeld, Germany. Employing 12 of the 16 1.2GHz CPUs on SHARCNET’s Compaq Alpha GS160 server, Typhon, Gilchrist was able to validate the number in only 15 days.
