Free-DC's Prime Search

This is a project to search for prime numbers of the form K*2^n-1, odd k (better known as Riesel Primes) to find many Top 5000 prime numbers.
The primary goal is to find as many Top 5000 primes as possible in a given range of k and eventually finding mega-digit primes. Our main effort will begin testing in a range just above the lower bound of the Top 5000 Prime level and moving to higher levels as we proceed. A secondary effort will be launched soon that will work on low Nash weight k's for large primes to get into mega-digit level quickly.

Our main effort is currently testing all k's in the 3400 to 3999 range, 6000 to 6999 range and 7000 to 7999 range (other than those k's reserved by others).

All testing of k's will be through our llrnet server at this time.

The first range of k 3400 - 3999 is currently available on the server.

The second range of k 6000-6999 will be available on June 1st, with the 3rd range of k 7000 - 7999 scheduled for mid-June.
