Thanks Smicha. Math is one of my favorite areas of study. Prof. Curtis Cooper is a topper - but it seems only of himself lately. Imagine the primes 800 Pascals could harvest.

Hehee, I saw that too and posted on twitter. :)

The pride on that guys face when he unboxes this is worth looking.

But indeed, imagine if GPUs were used to calculate these. Something like 10 000 GPU farm. :)

I agree with you completely - (1) more is more and (2) the most is the best at prime farming.
