Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) is a collaborative project of volunteers who use freely available computer software to search for Mersenne prime numbers. The project was founded by George Woltman, who also wrote the software Prime95 and MPrime for the project. Scott Kurowski wrote the PrimeNet server that supports the research to demonstrate Entropia-distributed computing software, a company he founded in 1997. GIMPS is registered as Mersenne Research, Inc. The project has found a total of thirteen Mersenne primes as of 14 October 2009 (2009 -10-14), eleven of which were the largest known prime number at their respective times of discovery. The largest known prime as of June 2009 is 243,112,609 1 (or M43,112,609 in short). This prime was discovered on 23 August 2008 by Edson Smith at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)''s Mathematics Department. This prime allowed GIMPS to win the $100,000 prize from Electronic Frontier Foundation for discovering a prime with more than 10 million decimal digits. Refer to the article on Mersenne prime numbers for the complete list of GIMPS successes.
