mlucas
Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) distributed computing client
Mlucas performs Lucas-Lehmer primality testing of Mersenne numbers in search of a world-record prime. You may use it to test any suitable number as you wish, but it is preferable that you do so in a coordinated fashion, as part of the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS). Mlucas also includes a simple Python script for assignment management via the GIMPS project's Primenet server.
