On 24 March 2022, 17:27:33 UTC, PrimeGrid’s 321 Prime Search found the Mega Prime:

3*2^18924988-1

The prime is 5,696,990 digits long and enters Chris Caldwell's “The Largest Known Primes Database” ranked 18th overall.

The discovery was made by Frank Matillek (boss) of Germany using an Intel CPU with 1GB RAM, running Ubuntu Linux. This computer took about 1 day, 1 hour, 39 minutes to complete the primality test using LLR2. Frank Matillek is a member of the SETI.Germany team.

For more details, please see the official announcement.

Just to be very pedantic, since this was a c=-1 task, and since the subproject uses Gerbicz checks to detect random hardware errors during the calculation, the original computation by boss's computer was only a PRP test.

As of now, I can still see the task, and it says:

Gerbicz check is requested, switching to PRP. Starting probable prime test of 3*2^18924988-1

Of course, the prime has been rigorously proved prime afterwards (with an N+1 test without Gerbicz check, first on PrimeGrid's hardware using LLR, then on the Prime Pages' hardware using PFGW).
