Santa Claus brought a new algorithm!
A quick implementation found that 1,010,036,096216 + 1 is prime, error = 0.140625.
The current limit of GFN-16 on CPU is about 180M. With the new method, it will be greater than 1G.
The computation time of the final optimized version should be below +20% of the current version.
GFN-15 will be able to run on CPU: 323,997,566215 + 1 is prime, error = 0.09375.
Merry Christmas! | |

Somehow this prime is known for me :)
But I am proud to help :)
Great thing!

This is excellent news! Hopefully it hits in time to keep GFN16 on CPU a viable way to compete in TdP this year.

Is the new application only going to be installed on the server when we get closer to the limit of the current application on GFN16?

I hope it gets installed soon. We're over 180M on GFN-16 now and I'm starting to see CPU errors. This one errored on two very different CPUs before a GPU picked it up. | |

So as this gets implemented does that mean some the 'ending soon' dates will be pushed as well, that's in addition to the GRN-15 and 16 tasks? | |

If there are some 'ending soon' dates somewhere, you can forget them. Now the limit is two billion (2G) on both CPU and GPU for all exponents.
In the range [2; 2G] different algorithms can be implemented: when b is small, some are faster but they can be applied to a limited range.
The end of a range is not a clear boundary (because of floating-point numbers, it is fuzzy). The probability of an error is increasing slowly with b. For this reason, the limits are not defined in the code but genefer is generated for the current leading edges of PrimeGrid.
genefer 4.01 is not able to test GFN-15 on CPU and is starting to generate errors for GFN-16. genefer 4.02 extends the bound to b ~ 2G for GFN-15 and GFN-16. This version is already in production for GFN-17 (see https://www.primegrid.com/apps.php), I think that it will soon be rolled out for other exponents. | |

genefer 4.02 is in production. The round-off errors should no longer exist. | |
