Overview
PrimeGrid is a distributed computing project for searching for prime numbers of world-record size. It makes use of the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) platform. As of October 2020, there are about 3,300 active participants (on about 16,000 host computers) from 89 countries, reporting about 1,860 teraflops.[1]
