The official credit line for this prime is "P. Laroche, G. Woltman, A. Blosser, et al." This prime was externally verified. The primality proof took twelve days of non-stop computing on a machine with an Intel i5-4590T CPU. To prove there were no errors in the prime discovery process, the new prime was independently verified using three different programs on three different hardware configurations. See the press release:

  • Andreas Höglund verified the prime using CUDALucas running on a NVidia V100 GPU in 21 hours.
  • Andreas Höglund also verified the prime using Mlucas running on 16 cores of an Amazon AWS instance in 72 hours.
  • Aaron Blosser also verified it using Prime95 on an Intel 7700K processor in 6 days, 8 hours.

Not every Mersenne number less than this one has been checked even once for primality by GIMPS, so it is unknown if this is the 51st Mersenne in terms of size. We will remove the question mark when GIMPS completes checking all lower exponents twice and comparing the residues.

Verification data:

Some of the very largest primes are externally verified by trusted groups or individuals and we do not reverify them at this site. This is one of those.
