Update
I have been trying to find something and came across the Wikipedia page for the LL test, where it says, that the sign of the S(p-3) is (-1)(p-1)/2 (except for p = 5), for starting value of 2/3, which...

I have recently started doing a lot of P-1 on factored exponents in under 10M ranges. So far 121 factors after 3 weeks, not bad.
I've been checking the progress of PRP-CF on these factors, and...

I think the author of the article meant it as "First Lady (to the President/Nobel prize winners)", an often forgotten person. The wording also indicates this, because otherwise "First Woman" would be...

This might be just a coincidence because there are only 200 Cat 0 exponents at all times, so it's possible that all were assigned, and one of them suddenly expired or was unassigned, so it became...

Yes, you can run the P-1 with a higher B1, but often there was no P-1 done on already factored exponents because most of them have tiny factors, which were swept through long ago.
Some of them...

The current FTC wavefront takes up about 44 MiB (mebibytes - basically megabytes, but counted in base 2, so it's 220 bytes, instead of 106) of L3 cache.
You can calculate the usage with this rule:...

The pattern you observed is fairly trivial I would say. If the prime exponent you're testing modulo p is itself a Mersenne prime, then you are testing the Mersenne prime with a smaller exponent. For...

I agree it was not stated correctly. So let me correct myself:
S(p-2) is congruent to X (mod p)
In the case of p = 5, X is congruent to 4 (mod p), which holds, because S(p-2) is also congruent...

The top green row is k values.
The green "c" column is the values of w.
Column "B" is LW values.
If we apply Margaret's sieve to the value of k = 5, 7, 11, 13 .... it can be clearly determined...
