البحث الكبير على الإنترنت عن أعداد مرسن الأولية

(تم التحويل من Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search)

البحث الكبير على الإنترنت عن أعداد مرسن الأولية Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS)، هو مشروع تعاوني لمتطوعين باستخدام برنامج مجاني متاح للبحث عن أعداد مرسن الأولية. أسس المشروع جورج وولتمان، الذي صمم أيضاً برنامج پرايم95 وإم‌پرايم]] للمشروع. صمم سكوت كوروسكي خادم إنترنت برايم‌نت الذي يعدم أبحاث برنامج إنتروپيا للحوسبة الموزعة، شركة تأسست عام 1997. المشروع مسجل باسم مرسن رسرش، كوروسكي هو نائب الرئيس التنفيذي ورئيس مجلس ادارة مرسن رسرش GIMPS is said to be one of the first large scale distributed computing projects over the Internet for research purposes.[1]

The project has found a total of fourteen Mersenne primes اعتبارا من 5 فبراير 2013 (2013-02-05), eleven of which were the largest known prime number at their respective times of discovery. The largest known prime اعتبارا من يناير 2013 is 257,885,161 − 1 (or M57,885,161 in short). This prime was discovered on January 25, 2013 by Curtis Cooper at the University of Central Missouri.[2]

To perform its testing, the project relies primarily on Édouard Lucas and Derrick Henry Lehmer's primality test,[3] an algorithm that is both specialized to testing Mersenne primes and particularly efficient on binary computer architectures. They also have a less expensive trial division phase, taking hours instead of weeks, used to rapidly eliminate Mersenne numbers with small factors, which make up a large proportion of candidates. John Pollard's p − 1 algorithm is also used to search for larger factors.

التاريخ

The project began in early January 1996,[4][5] with a program that ran on i386 computers.[6][7] The name for the project was coined by Luther Welsh one of its earlier searchers and the discoverer of the 29th Mersenne prime.[8] Within a few months, several dozen people had joined, and over a thousand by the end of the first year.[7][9] Joel Armengaud, a participant, discovered the primality of M1,398,269 on November 13, 1996.[10]


الحالة

اعتبارا من نوفمبر 2012, GIMPS has a sustained throughput of approximately 95 teraflops,[11] theoretically earning the GIMPS virtual computer a place among the TOP500 most powerful known computer systems in the world. Theoretically, GIMPS holds rank 330 of the TOP500 (November 2012),[12] after rank 329, which is held by a 'HP Cluster Platform 3000 BL460c G7' of Hewlett-Packard.[13]

As of early-2010, this was approximately 50 teraflops. In mid-2008, this was approximately 30 teraflops. In mid-2006, 20 teraflops, and in early 2004, 14.

ترخيص البرنامج

Although the GIMPS software's source code is publicly available,[14] technically it is not free software, since it has a restriction that users must abide by the project's distribution terms[15] if the software is used to discover a prime number with at least 100 million decimal digits and wins the $150,000 USD bounty offered by the Electronic Frontier Foundation.[16]


الأعداد المكتشفة

All Mersenne primes are in the form Mq, where q is the (prime) exponent. The prime number itself is 2q − 1, so the smallest prime number in this table is 21398269 − 1.
