I don't blame you, after all AFAIR you're using nV hardware :smile:

Dusted off the GMQfact code; recompiled for 1060/2060 cards (sm_61, sm_75) and [U]sieved to 61+ bits[/U] the next range 5.1-10M -- which is now reserved for Batalov+Propper

Nearly done and continuing with 10-12M. ... and to 15M ... and on to 21M...

the new largest known G-M norm
 

After a rather depressing gap a curiously strong mint was found:

[B]2[SUP]15317227[/SUP] + 2[SUP]7658614[/SUP] + 1[/B] is the new largest known [URL="https://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=131043"]prime Gaussian-Mersenne norm[/URL]
(also, it is a Proth prime and a Generalized Unique prime).[/SIZE][/COLOR]
