Switch to multi-threading for Chebyshev’s bias software
We started to develop a new version of our “4000 Chebyshev’s Bias Tester” that uses OpenMP for multi-threading.
Initial tests indicated that the test speed could be increased 4-5 times on a 4-core 8-thread processor that launches 8 copies of primesieve as a real-time prime number generator.
With the advent of affordable multi-core processors such as 32-core 64-thread AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 2990WX Processor, the ranges beyond 1016 become possible in reasonable time without supercomputers and massively parallel processing (MPP).
10^16 test range reached for Chebyshev’s bias
We successfully reached 1016 test range for Chebyshev’s bias.
All results will be published in our repository and contributed to OEIS in due course.

5*10^15 test range reached for Chebyshev’s bias
We successfully reached 5*1015 test range for Chebyshev’s bias.
All results will be published in our repository and contributed to OEIS in due course.
Last Chebyshev’s bias data available in our repository
The last Chebyshev’s bias data became updated and available in our repository.
Chebyshev’s bias test range increased to 10^16
We further expanded Chebyshev’s bias test range 10 times to 1016. At the first stage, the tests will be run up to 5*1015. Expected time to complete the first stage – August, 2018.
Provisional 50th Mersenne prime M77232917 supports Collatz conjecture
On March 17th, 2018 our “3007 Collatz Tester for Mersenne Primes” (the improved version of “3000 Collatz Tester”) tested the provisional 50th Mersenne prime M77232917 for being in agreement with Collatz conjecture and supported it. Continue reading
We won top “Step Into The Future” award: EUCYS 2018 participation
Our research “Testing Chebyshev’s bias for prime numbers up to 1015” won the top award at the “Step Into The Future” science forum and will be presented at the 30th European Union Contest for Young Scientists 2018 in Dublin (Ireland) on September 14-19, 2018. The EUCYS was set up at 1989 to promote the ideals of co-operation and interchange between young scientists. The contest is the annual showcase of the best of European student scientific achievement. The Russian team of 3 students will compete among other students from 43 countries.
In addition, our research got the right to be presented at Intel ISEF final that is held in the USA every year.
