On 18 Nov 2020, 05:40:34 UTC, PrimeGrid’s 27121 Prime Search, through PRPNet found the mega prime:

121*2^9584444+1

The prime is 2,885,208 digits long and will enter Chris Caldwell's The Largest Known Primes Database ranked 60th overall.

The discovery was made by James Winskill (Aeneas) of New Zealand using an Intel Xeon(R) E5-2637 v3 CPU @ 3.50GHz with 64GB RAM, running Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2. This computer took just under 13 hours 49 minutes to complete the primality test using LLR. James Winskill is a member of the PrimeSearchTeam.

The prime was verified on 18 Nov 2020, 16:42:00 UTC, by an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz with 16 GB RAM, running Linux Gentoo. This computer took a little over 1 hour 42 minutes to complete the primality test using LLR.

For more details, please see the official announcement.

OpenPFGW, a primality program developed by Chris Nash and Jim Fougeron, was used to check
for Fermat Number divisibility (including generalized and extended). No divisibilities with bases not exceeding 12 were found.

The new prime, a GFN1, is number 16 on the Generalized Fermat Top Twenty, beating Goetz's GFN19 and all known GFN18.

Might be a stupid question but I don't see any 121 Prime Search sub project...? How do I participate?
