Cunningham Chain records (last updated: February 24th, 2024)
------------------------------------------------------------

NEWSFLASH:
A new record for Cunningham chains of length 5 was found in February 2024 by 
Shusuke Kubota.  Furthermore Frank Doornink broke the record for Cunningham
chains of length 4 of the 1st kind.

Note:
A large Cunningham Chain (abbreviation: CC) of length n will be also listed 
in the section(s) for CC of length n-1, n-2, ..., if it is large enough.

A Cunningham Chain is a sequence of nearly doubled primes. One distinguishes between

Cunningham Chains of length n of the 1st kind:
n primes, each which is twice the proceeding one plus one;
for example (p, 2p+1, 4p+3, 8p+7) is a CC of length 4 of the 1st kind,
if each of the four numbers is prime,

Cunningham Chains of length n of the 2nd kind:
n primes, each which is twice the proceeding one minus one;
for example (p, 2p-1, 4p-3, 8p-7) is a CC of length 4 of the 2nd kind,
if each of the four numbers is prime,

In the following "CC2" stands for "Cunningham Chain of length 2",
"CC3" stands for "Cunningham Chain of length 3" and so on.

Only the first member of each CC is shown below!

As far as the programs that were used to find the CC are known
to me they are written in brackets!

Some of the records are marked with year-month-day or with month/year
instead of the year!

Part 5, programs that were used:
--------------------------------


NewPGen:
--------
Sieving program mainly for numbers of the form
k*b^n+/-1, k*p#+/-1, written by Paul Jobling.

Visit http://www.utm.edu/research/primes/programs/NewPGen/


PFGW:
-----
Prime testing program which allows nearly every form
of numbers, written by  Chris Nash and speeded up with
some additional code from G.Woltman and Y.Gallot.

Visit http://pages.prodigy.net/chris_nash/primeform.html
or http://groups.yahoo.com/group/primeform


PRP:
----
Probable primality test program for numbers of the
form k*b^n+/-1, written by George Woltman.

Visit http://www.mersenne.org/gimps/


Proth:
------
Full primality test program for numbers of the form
k*b^n+/-1, written by Yves Gallot.

Visit http://www.utm.edu/research/primes/programs/gallot/


GenSv:
------
A Generic Siever for finding ultra-sparse forms, such as exceptionally
long Cunningham Chains. Used by Phil Carmody and Paul Jobling for their
longest records.
No URL yet, sorry. 


Primo:
------
Primo is a primality proving program based on the ECPP algorithm:
Elliptic Curve Primality Proving. It will test numbers that are 
not of any special form. 

Visit http://www.ellipsa.net/


TwinGen:
--------
TwinGen is a program to rapidly presieve a set of candidates of the 
form k.2n+/-1 and remove those candidates which are composite; 
written by David Underbakke.

Visit http://primes.utm.edu/bios/page.php?id=440


LLR:
----
Takes an input file from Paul Jobling's NewPgen, and proves the 
primality of numbers of the form k*.2^n-1 with k < 2^n; 
written by Jean Penne.

Visit http://primes.utm.edu/bios/page.php?id=431

sgsieve:
--------
A specialized sieving program developed by Tom Wu for sieving of

PrimeGrid
---------
PrimeGrid's primary goal is to bring the excitement of prime finding 
to the "everyday" computer user. By simply downloading and installing 
BOINC and attaching to the PrimeGrid project, participants can choose 
from a variety of prime forms to search.

Primecoin
---------
Primecoin, developed by Sunny King, is the first proof-of-work based 
cryptocurrency that has come up with any kind of workable solution. 
The central premise of Primecoin is that, instead of useless SHA256 hashes, 
the proof of work protocol would require miners to find long chains of 
prime numbers (Cunningham chains and BiTwins).

Remark:
-------
Sometimes the "old" Primeform was used to test the full primality 
of the members of a CC, but I have marked them all with PFGW 
because PFGW is the successor of Primeform.


Please send any new records, corrections or remarks to
dirk.augustin@gmx.de

Please check all primes for full primality before sending them to me.
In addition all submitted primes are always double checked by me with PFGW.
