The Winter Solstice is here!!! The solstice fires are the brightest they have ever been at PrimeGrid. The fuel came from an unprecedented amount of factors found. This Challenge benefited not only PrimeGrid's Proth Prime Search project but also the entire Riesel prime search community. A wonderful holiday gift to all those involved. :)1.3P of sieve work was crunched in 434K tasks. A HUMONGOUS sieve that would have been impossible to do without Ken Brazier's help. A special thanks to him for his modifications to tpsieve as well as his port to GPU's.Congratulations to Sicituradastra.
