Downseek, and you shall downfind. Especially good for downunder.

http://www.mersenneforum.org/forumdisplay.php?f=9 Oh no, another
distributed computing project. Figures! They're looking for the largest
prime number. Of course, the only way to prove they found the largest prime
number is to continue searching for a larger prime number. I don't expect
they'll ever be satisfied.
I was looking on their website for the CPU torture test, but all I could
find was information on their project. Finally , I concluded that the CPU
Torture Test - Prime95 - is also the same program they are using for their
prime number search. Do I understand that correctly? Therefore, if I run
the torture test on my CPU, I might also find the next prime number,
coincidentally? Better chance of that than finding E.T.?
I've been using SETI@home to keep my uP warm. What function does Prime95
have that is missing from SETI@home that can be used to document a CPU
instability?
