On 19 June 2014, 3:36:34 UTC, PrimeGrid’s Sierpinski/Riesel Base 5 Problem project eliminated k=22478 by finding the mega prime:

22478*5^1675150-1

The prime is 1,170,884 digits long and enters Chris Caldwell's The Largest Known Primes Database ranked 54th overall. This is the largest known base 5 mega prime. 81 k's now remain in the Riesel Base 5 Problem.

The discovery was made by Guo Hua Miao (前朝遗少) of China using an Intel Xeon CPU E5-4617 @ 2.90GHz with 516GB RAM running Linux. This computer took about 25 hours and 24 minutes to complete the primality test using LLR. 前朝遗少 is a member of Team China.

The prime was verified internally.

For more details, please see the official announcement.

By the way...

This is our 10th SR5 mega-prime, the 8th SR5 mega-prime found this year, and our 14th mega-prime of 2014 (which is a new record).
