SRBase is a BOINC platform volunteer computing project and needs your help to advance mathematical research.

Why SRBase?

  • why this topic/object of study?

Goal

Solve Sierpinski / Riesel Bases up to 1030.

Methods

The project is in collaboration with the Mersenne CRUS project. The server is running on a private computer in a VM.

BEHIND SRBASE - A SHORT GUIDE

  • Work reservation and preparation - http://www.mersenneforum.org/forumdisplay.php?f=81 The link is used for any base reservation. This avoids any duplicate work from other users
  • Work creation - All bases over 1M tests (lower ranges) will be split into pieces. Normally there are 2-3 batches, 25-50k, 50-60k, 60-100k. Most of the work is done in Excel
  • Check results - merge all results to lresults.txt
  • Remove primes from a sievefile with the srfile app
