Prime numbers have captivated mathematicians for centuries with their unpredictable and seemingly random distribution. In a groundbreaking preprint study, researchers devised a novel method that ...

A new algorithm brings together the advantages of randomness and deterministic processes to reliably construct large prime numbers.

Using a notion called integer partitions, mathematicians have discovered a new way to detect prime numbers while also connecting two areas of math in an unexpected way ...

In this case, however, Durant’s Mersenne prime number find may provide a very clear example of how GPU cloud supercomputers can be used to advance far more than just controversial AI projects.
