Below is a selection of records that have been computed using primecount. For a more complete list search for primecount on OEIS.org. There is also a mersenneforum thread where we have announced important records as well as details about these computations. If you have used primecount to compute an important new record please let me know and I will add your record to this page.
Most of these records have been computed using the
primecount app with backup support
(which I stopped maintaining due to lack of time) as these record computations often take weeks or months to
complete and power outages may occur in such time frames. Since the latest primecount-7.x is significantly
faster than the last primecount-backup-6.4
(especially on servers with > 100 CPU cores), I suggest using the latest primecount version without backup
support if you have a good uninterruptible power supply (UPS) which prevents most power outages of your
PC/server. You can use the primecount app together with the
Unix tee command to store intermediate results in a
log file.

For verification, all results on this page have been computed twice using different alpha tuning parameters (configuration parameters). You can read our announcements of these results in our mersenne forum thread.
