Summary
Find Mersenne Prime numbers or stress test systems
Description
The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) is a collaborative project of volunteers using the Prime95 client to participate in a distributed computing effort to find Mersenne Prime numbers.
The Prime95 client can also be used as a stress testing tool. The Prime95 client includes a “torture test” that places a heavy computational load on a system. Continuous computations are run and checked against tolerances while they are executing with the final results being compared to the known correct answers.
