Using GPU for GIMPS project in Linux
Mfaktc
Mfaktc - CUDA application, which is suitable for TF-tasks (trial factoring) in GIMPS project.
Requirements
- gcc 4.7.1 or higher
- NVIDIA driver 343.36 or higher
- NVIDIA CUDA 6.5 or lower, not 7.0 or higher
Build
Adjust path to CUDA in Makefile (in Archlinux it is /opt/cuda) and run make. After successful compilation you can use mfaktc.exe executable (it’s ELF).
CUDALucas
CUDALucas - CUDA application, which is suitable for LL (World record tests) and D-tasks (Double-check tests).
Requirements
Matches requirements for mfaktc, but CUDA can be 7.0 version
Build
Adjust path to CUDA in Makefile (in Archlinux it is /opt/cuda) and run make. After successful compilation you can use CUDALucas executable.
