Riesel Prime Search
Riesel Prime Search (RPS) is a prime search project established in 2005 by Predrag Minovic (Kosmaj).
The project description is as follows:
- The project is searching for Riesel primes k•2n-1, k > 1.
- There are three subprojects as follows:
- High-weight k-values that can produce many primes in a given range of exponent n.
- Low-weight k-values that produce a very small number of primes, opposite to #1 above.
- Small k < 300 with the exception of k-values already reserved by other projects.
Riesellist pages
The Riesellist pages were 15k/RPS status pages that showed k's, primes, reservations, and other project info. They are still useful for historical reference. Below are Web Archive versions available from 2004-2008, slightly changed to remove old invalid links:
