Science United found a megaprime for base R2 2nd conjecture.
The prime 625783*2^7031319-1 has 2.116.644 digits and entered the TOP5000 in Chris Caldwell's The Largest Known Primes Database.

Hoshione, a member of the team SETI.Germany found a megaprime for base R2 2nd conjecture.

Part 2 of the 10²¹ search will be finished, for the most part, today. There are still ~2000 unfinished WUs which can take up to a couple of weeks to complete, depending on individual participants processing them.

Part 3 of the search will look for amicable pairs where the smaller member of the pair has its largest prime factor between 10¹¹ and 10¹⁴:

m=m1*p, 10¹¹ < p < 10¹⁴

There are too many primes larger than 10¹⁴ (all primes up to 5*10¹⁹ need to be checked), so they will require a different approach and a new application when the time comes.

Most of the participants have already started getting part 3 WUs. The new work units will require ~2.5-2.7 GB RAM on CPU, and the same amount of RAM on GPU (for GPU applications), so the minimum requirement for GPUs will be 3 GB RAM.

Right now I don't have an estimate on how long part 3 will take because I haven't accumulated enough statistics yet, and I haven't even finished generating all WUs for part 3.

BOINC is a finalist for an notable award, and needs your vote (*by Sunday)

The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) (https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/forum/2024) is a United Nations-sponsored initiative aimed at harnessing the potential of information and communication technologies to build inclusive and equitable information societies worldwide. BOINC has been nominated for a prize at the 2024 forum (https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/stocktaking/Prizes/2024), and has passed initial hurdles; the next and last step ("Phase 3") requires public votes. The award would be a very nice boost and validation for BOINC and all our projects; if we can get our communities to vote, we should have a decent shot at this point...

Voting is pretty simple, takes just a few minutes; instructions are here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x9Xi3tq7Y9dlDD0Xb0Ul0yYCXct5pDqIqssqARxvrXg/edit.

(*The deadline for votes is Sunday: 31 March 2024, 23:00 UTC+02:00)

We are currently testing multi-core jobs for CMS@Home. Note that these will only run in -dev as the main project does not currently allow you to select multi-core VMs. We currently have 2-core and 4-core tasks in the queue, so please try selecting 4-core in your machine preferences, and let us know how it works.
