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

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 ...

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.
