MPrime
From Free net encyclopedia
Template:Infobox Software MPrime is the name of the Linux and BSD software, written by George Woltman, that GIMPS, a distributed computing project researching Mersenne prime numbers, uses. It is entirely console based, with no requirement for X or any other graphical sub-system.
There is also a Windows-based version named Prime95.
The software is widely used to test system stability via a "torture test" of processor and system memory.
