August 2017 - August 2019: AP8 search
We examined k*5303#+1, k in [50000000000, 98000000000].
One Opteron GHz year sieving with NewPGen. 185 Opteron
GHz years PRP with bespoke GWNUM program by Paul
Underwood resulting in 140,440,486 PRPs. These were
searched and extended with Norman Luhn's program on a two
8 core AMD Ryzen 1700 over 420 GHz days. One AP8
was found and 446 AP7s. Ken Davis found 6 CC4s with the
PRP data set.
November 2010 - April 2013: AP9 search
We examined k*2371#+1, k in [50000000000, 94000000000].
After 1GHz year sieving with NewPGen, to a depth of 8.5
trillion, we had 11,514,338,127 candidates. These were
PRP'd with pfgw64 for 35 GHz years to leave 261,601,878
3-PRP's. With a further 82.5 GHz years, we detected the
first 5 known titanic AP9s: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. A
CC5 of
the 2nd kind byproduct was also found. Thanks to Mike
Oakes and Ken Davis for their wetware before major
computations were undertaken by Ken Davis and Paul
Underwood.
