- I suppose "photo" means screenshot here, but on linux there's no GUI so it would be just something like
(mfh@lx01 ~/Research/NumberTheory/gimps) mprime -h Usage: mprime [-cdhmstv] [-aN] [-b[N]] [-wDIR] -c Contact the PrimeNet server, then exit. -d Print detailed information to stdout. -h Print this. -m Menu to configure mprime. -s Display status. -t Run the torture test. -v Print the version number. -aN Use an alternate set of INI and output files. -bN Run in the background. N is number of CPUs. -wDIR Run from a different working directory.

- Would this really "improve its quality" ? — MFH:Talk 17:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
mersenne only ?
[edit]I'm not sure but I believe that mprime does not only check Mersenne numbers but can "treat" (whatever that means : ecm / gcd / P-1 / trial factor ? ...) any numbers of the form k*b^n+c . Some guru advice needed... — MFH:Talk 13:21, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
merge with Prime95
[edit]Even though there are OS specific issues, wouldn't it me reasonable to merge mprime with Prime95? — MFH:Talk 17:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. Prime95 and MPrime are basically the same thing. --Ixfd64 (talk) 16:47, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
- Merge. It appears to come from the same source code, from the same site. Widefox (talk) 12:23, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
- Merge. Agree with reasons above. Why hasn't this been done yet? :P —Per Hedetun (talk) 02:01, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- I've gone ahead and merged it with Prime95. --Ixfd64 (talk) 02:32, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
