Welcome to the AP27 Search (Arithmetic Progression of 27 primes)
An arithmetic progression is a sequence of numbers with a common difference between any two successive numbers in the sequence. For instance, the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, ... is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 2.
Therefore, an arithmetic progression of primes is a sequence of primes with a common difference between any two successive numbers in the sequence. For example 3, 7, 11 is an arithmetic progression of 3 primes with a common difference of 4.
For an arithmetic progression (AP) of primes, AP-k is k primes of the form p + d*n for some d (the common difference between the primes) and k consecutive values of n. The above AP-3 is 3 + 4*n for n=0,1,2.
n=0; 3 + 4*0 = 3 + 0 = 3
n=1; 3 + 4*1 = 3 + 4 = 7
n=2; 3 + 4*2 = 3 + 8 = 11
Another example is the AP-10 of the form 199 + 210*n for n=0..9. This produces the following sequence: 199, 409, 619, 829, 1039, 1249, 1459, 1669, 1879, 2089.
AP-k is also sometimes notated PAP-k (Primes in Arithmetic Progression).
We are searching for the longest AP, not the largest. Currently the longest known AP is of length 26. The first known AP26 was discovered on April 12th, 2010 here at PrimeGrid by Benoãt Perichon ([AF>HFR>RR] Jim PROFIT) of France. Since then, three additional AP26s have been found, one by James Fry, and two of them by Bryan Little (mfl0p). For a complete list of records including longest and largest AP's, please see Jens Kruse Andersen's Primes in Arithmetic Progression Records. Also, a list of the top 20 largest (not longest) AP's can be found at The Prime Pages: The Top 20.
New AP discoveries will be announced in the New APs forum thread.
Jaroslaw Wróblewski's AP26 algorithm will be used for the search. The AP26 algorithm is capable of finding AP27 and AP28 progressions as well as the shorter progressions.
The original AP26 program was written by Jaroslaw Wróblewski and adapted to BOINC by Geoff Reynolds.
The 2016 CPU and OpenCL versions of AP26 were updated by Bryan Little and Iain Bethune.

How to Participate?
Go to your PrimeGrid preferences page and select AP27.
Credit is currently set at 4043 cobblestones per WU.
WU expectations
Current WU's test 100 K's at 10 shifts each. The 2008-2010 AP26 tasks, at the end, tested 9 K's at 1 shift, so these tasks are about 111 times larger.
If K is divisible by one of the primes in the range 29-59, this K is ignored, i.e. AP26 quits instantly. Those are just over 18% of all K's.
If K is divisible by 61, the time is increased by some 20% over an "ordinary" K and if a few next primes (67, 71, ...) divide K it can be even longer.
Progression of WU's
We are initially sending out work at both shift=0 and shift=640. No decision has been made about when to start searching additional shifts.
The tasks with shift=0 overlap somewhat with the original AP26 search and serves as a double check in case anything was missed. The original AP26 project searched six shifts to the following levels. Remember that each AP26 shift was 64 bits wide, whereas an AP27 shift is 640 bits wide. Our current shift therefore covered all six of the original AP26 shifts.
AP26 (2008) progress:
shift=0; k<43902416
shift=64; k<33973721
shift=128; k<25165464
shift=192; k<16288724
shift=256; k<9354514
shift=320; k<2751343
Initial AP27 progress: (24 August 2016 to 20 Sep 2016)
shift=0; k<2538946
shift=640; k<2538946

For the app name do we use ap26 or ap27?
It seems that ap26 is still active. Thanks
Also the link on the Preferences Page takes you to AP26 not This Thread.

Thanks for the link. I'll fix that momentarily.
The internal app name is ap26, if you're using app_info or other config files that need the app name. My apologies for the ambiguity between ap26 and ap27, but it's necessary that the internal app name be ap26 rather than being the same "ap27" that's being used in most other places.

No Biggie on the app name ap26 works fine.
One more question on this Project, as far as the GTX Titan Graphics Cards would enabling Double Precision floating point that this card has?
I know very little BOINC Projects can use this setting and even slows down GPU Projects other then MilkyWay@home that is.
Thanks

Double precision should NOT be enabled for most of our GPU apps. That includes AP27, PPS-Sieve, and GFN15 through GFN20.
With GFN 21 and 22, it's a bit more complicated. With those two, try it with Double Precision mode enabled and look in the stderr.txt file to see which transform it used. If it used OCL, then leave Double Precision mode on. If it instead used OCL4, turn Double Precision mode off. Or, more simply, try it both ways and see which runs faster.
I suspect that with older Titans, it will be faster with Double Precision mode on. With newer Titans, it may be faster with it off.

Have you already tried a shortcut for possibly finding AP27s - use the same starting points as all known AP26s, to see if any of them are actually the first part of an AP27? |

The ap26 program will find any sequences up to length 28. So, in effect, the answer is yes because we've been doing that since 2008. It's possible that an AP28 could have been found before the first AP26, but it's very unlikely.
Edit: Checking these numbers for primality is trivially easy because they're so short. That GFN in my signature is about 2.5 million digits long. The numbers we're looking at in the AP27 search are only about 15 to 20 digits long.
For kicks, here's PFGW checking one of the primes in an AP23 I found in 2010:
C:\PRPNet\prpclient-5.4.0-windows\prpclient-1>pfgw64 -V -t -q"146548848027836663"
PFGW Version 3.7.10.64BIT.20150809.Win_Dev [GWNUM 28.6]
Primality testing 146548848027836663 [N-1, Brillhart-Lehmer-Selfridge]
Running N-1 test using base 5
Generic modular reduction using generic reduction FMA3 FFT length 32 on A 58-bit number
Calling Brillhart-Lehmer-Selfridge with factored part 56.14%
146548848027836663 is prime! (0.0153s+0.0018s)
15 thousandths of a second to test that number for primality. (There's probably faster methods of checking numbers so small.)

So this is still the same app as for the AP26 search, CPU and GPU-wise? |

Same algorithm. New app.
The apps themselves were rewritten for newer hardware architectures, and are faster than the old apps. One obvious example is that the new CPU app can make use of AVX and AVX2.
We did investigate modifying the internals (changing the primes used in the internal sieve) to be better optimized for searching for AP27, but after some testing decided that the gain in searching for AP27s wasn't worth the penalty we saw in finding shorter sequences. In the end we stayed with the original algorithm.
It's not really a change in the algorithm, but the new app also checks the first 10 shifts simultaneously.

Not enough memory on the card. You need 1.5G, and it won't fetch tasks if BOINC detects less than that. |

Besides the 1.5 MB requirement, this is the part you're missing when trying to run it manually: http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=6891&nowrap=true#98124

Hm, even in standalone-mode via the console i do need 1.5 GB of RAM and the app checks for it?
I know i started the old app on a Nvidia Quadro FX 580 with only 512 MB RAM way back in late 2009.
Anyways i got no spare card that satisfies the RAM-requirements, that is sad. |

hi,
is there also a record kept for largest *consecutive* AP? for example3, 7, 11 is a Prime AP but not a consecutive one as there is a prime between 3 and 7. Of course, this would be much harder to look for...

Yes it would be sensible that as soon as a new longest Prime AP is found, we then extend that until we find the first non-prime number in the AP? Presumably that is why the app looks for 26, 27, or 28? But if we found the full 28. it would be easy to extend it: just be a primality test in a series of numbers, not a grid job but one that any one person could do and potentially get a new, even longer, record.
Seems to me the extended test would be ridiculously cheap to run (in fact is likely to stop almost instantly), so would not be a grid project but a one person effort. Of course it would come with a correspondingly very low chance of success.
It feels such an easy idea that my guess is that it has already been done without success,otherwise the extensions to them would already have been found and published. If my guess is right, that means we will not strike lucky by trying to extend the current record holder.
Such an extended test would be ridiculously cheap to run (in fact is likely to stop almost instantly), so would not be a grid project but a one person effort. Of course it would come with a correspondingly very low chance of success.
No doubt that is the motivation for looking for APs of length 26, 27, and 28 at the same time. If we get exactly 27 we already know the series ends with no 28.
But what happens in the unlikely event that we find 28? That leaves an easy cherry-pick for anyone with a primality checker to test no 29 like the PG admins who sanity check the results beofre publication -- it is just one number and a short one compared to a mega-prime. I assume that you would do this, and in the doubly unlikely event that you do successfully extend the range, maybe still give the credit to the person with the lucky app?
I am not going to lose sleep over it, as the odds are around the same as winning a national lottery twice running... |

Yes:
http://primerecords.dk/cpap.htm
However the problem of finding an example of the longest known CPAP is dead in my opinion: While CPAP-10 is known, finding CPAP-11 seems to be an impossible task for human race at the moment.

Regarding extending AP: The search program extends AP found back and forth, so the reported length is the maximal one. For example if the program reports AP25 found, we are sure this is not a part of an AP26. |

There is an easy extension that maybe has not been checked.
For each known AP, p + d*n, check the primality of numbers in the extensions
p + 2*d*(n + a),
p + 3*d*(n + a),
p + 4*d*(n + a),
p + k*d*(n + a),
etc
In other words, starting from some offset "a" into a known AP, select every k'th number in the AP to form a new AP with larger differences (which are a multiple of "d"), and test the forward and backward extensions of each such new AP. These APs start much shorter but at least the pump is "primed".
What about all those shorter APs that have been rejected? They are valid starting points for this strategy.
Edit. Added the general form. |

The progression is written as 299460668118437929+9026994*23#*n for n=0..24.
While locating such a progression clearly requires a lot of computational power, verifying that it is indeed real is extremely fast. For example, with PARI/GP, the full check:
prod(n=0,24,isprime(299460668118437929+9026994*23*19*17*13*11*7*5*3*2*n))
takes less than 1 millisecond to complete.

Search Status:
We are currently up to approximately k=10.6M on both shift=0 and shift=640. Shift=0 encompasses all of the original 6 shifts done 6 years ago. We have now surpassed the original search limits for shift=320 and shift=256, so all tests done at those two shifts (as part of shift=0 tasks) are new work. Double checking on (old-style) shift=0, 64, 128, and 192 continues.
Therefore, 60% of the numbers checked (6 of 10 old-style shifts) in each shift=0 task are new, and of course 100% of the numbers checked in shift=640 tasks are new.
The original search limits can be found in the first post in this thread.

Does that make a big find any more likely?
Notice we are now in the k = 44m range.

Not yet. Once we reach about 57,000,000 we will be in completely uncharted territory. This means 100% of the searching is new work that's never been tested.
Why 57,000,000 and not now you may be wondering? Well, after PrimeGrid's AP26 search ended in 2010, I continued the search on my own . I had multiple GPUs running, but I wasn't searching linearly so there are some spots skipped between where we are now and 57,000,000. So it's possible I missed something.
Keep in mind this is only for SHIFT=0 work units. All SHIFT=640 work units have been in uncharted territory since the start of AP27 search.

Hi, I joined PG about 1 month ago, (April 2019), and have found about 150 AP. As the list grows it's more difficult to identify the individual records. As a member of CSF, I report each find with a screenshot record. Any chance of a mre friendly search sequence in the list. Thanks.

The lower limit on what the system shows you is rather arbitrary. For every AP20 you find, there's about 4 AP19's the system doesn't bother showing you. And about 16 AP18's, and so on.
If the number of AP20's you're seeing is too many to be manageable, ignore them and only be concerned with the AP21's, or even the AP22's.
Regardless of what you choose to see, using the notifications for reporting the results elsewhere is a good idea.
At this time, I don't plan on making any changes to the AP27 reporting, although it can't hurt to give me suggestions for how you might like to see it work.

We can set the notification level for AP27. Is possible that a display level that be added to set how many levels of our AP27 are displayed? When we have 100's of AP20, it would be nice to be able to suppress them. |

We can set the notification level for AP27. Is possible that a display level that be added to set how many levels of our AP27 are displayed? When we have 100's of AP20, it would be nice to be able to suppress them.
Done!
Thanks for the idea.

Wow Mike, that is really, really cool! Thanks.
And as usual, done in 24.023 seconds 😉
How you code so quick will baffle us indefinitely.

There seems to be a bug: If I try to revert to "All APs" (I have found or double checked one or two AP19 with the former AP26-search.) the setting jumps back to the last choice. |

Indeed.
Steps to reproduce the problem (Firefox 69.0.1 64 bits here, under Windows 10 Home Edition 64 bits):
- Choose "APs of length 28 or longer" in the drop down list
- Click the "Submit" button and you will get a list of such APs (certainly an empty one)
- Choose "All APs"in the drop down list
- Click the "Submit" button: the selected option in the drop down list goes back to "APs of length 28 or longer" and the list is not updated to "All APs"
I have to choose "APs of length 20 or longer" to get back a full list of APs.

Thanks for the bug report; it should be fixed now!

The challenge ran from 2019-09-21 11:00:00UTC to 2019-09-26 11:00:00UTC
It looks like you ran no tasks during that time.
You have a task from 19 Aug 2019 | 11:57:18 UTC and the next task starts at 27 Sep 2019 | 5:20:14 UTC
For challenge points you need to download AND return the task within the time of the challenge.

You have only one computer that was active in August or September, and you appear to have started running AP27 tasks on the computer only today.
The challenge ended yesterday.
Since you're getting tasks now, I'd say your settings are fine. What were your settings during the challenge, from September 21st to September 26th?

Look at the last few posts in this thread, starting with your own post asking the same question.
Your question was already answered. You're not on the list because you didn't run any AP27 tasks during the challenge. All of your tasks were run after the challenge had already ended.

Quick question: I just noticed that on my account page there is a single AP19 showing up from 2009. But I never saw this result before. I didn't even know reporting of AP19's was enabled, or that they were ever counted. So I'm curious why it shows up now for the first time (it wasn't showing there in June / July this year when I last worked on AP27 search). I was a bit surprised to see that.

AP19s were recorded during the original AP26 search, but we did not record them during the AP27 search. The AP19s from the old search were always in the database, but we never displayed them. There's a LOT of them.
A few days ago, people asked for that page to be in a table format. I did that.
They asked for the columns to be sorted. Did that too.
Asked for the ability to limit which length APs are displayed. For people with a LOT of AP20s, for example, this is a nice feature. That's done also.
Since you now have control over which APs you want to see, I also allowed you to select to see the old AP19s if you want to do so.

Thanks for the info Michael.
Also, I have to say I like the new layout of the AP results page with the filtering. Appreciate the work you, and the rest of the PG team, do here.

I am trying to run AP27 mt with 8 threads but it runs only with one thread.
I got following msg :
Command line: projects/www.primegrid.com/ap27_3.01_cpu_windows64.exe 101407067 101407187 1280 --nthreads 8
Detected avx2 CPU
Detected 1 logical processors. Using 1 threads.
System Windows 10 ryzen 3950x.
Any ideas?
Is it possible to run it with app_config.xml to see if it works this way?
thanks. |

Try the following:
ap27_3.01_cpu_windows64.exe 101407067 101407187 1280 -t 8

Yes , that works fine. But it is not a matter of running it manually, since i want to run it over BOIN manager and the --nthread param is generated automatically.

the problem is here:
Detected 1 logical processors. Using 1 threads.
for some reason your CPU is reporting that it has only 1 thread (cpu) available. --nthreads only works up to the maximum number of threads available (hyperthreads or CPUs). i also see that you have multiple "WARNING!" messages beside your other tasks, this problem may be related to another issue with the computer. |

Thank you for your hint.
I deleted Process Lasso and now it works as expected. So i will dig into it to see, why Process Lasso showed only one processor. |

Things are working GREAT for me I've gotten EIGHT notifications of being an "AP finder" just today and todays not even over yet!! I found 5 yesterday!!
Now to be honest I do have more gpu's than the average person and most of them are doing AP27 tasks, but to me THAT'S ALOT of finds!! |

I just realized that I've found the world's largest AP24:
163270953925396573+312075516*23#*n for n=0..23 , which is right at the top of the AP24 list at: https://www.primegrid.com/stats_ap26.php
Of course, AP25s and up are more impressive (and I haven't found any of those yet), but this still feels kind of unique in a way.

My largest prime: 213*2^4865126+1 (1,464,552 digits)
My favorite sequence: 605185576317848261+155368778*23#*n for n=0..26

A larger AP24 has been verified, so mine is no longer the largest. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted...

(...) For a complete list of records including longest and largest AP's, please see Jens Kruse Andersen's Primes in Arithmetic Progression Records. (...)
Since this page seems to be not updated so often anymore, I wonder if we should link (instead/also) the page https://www.pzktupel.de/JensKruseAndersen/aprecords.php which builds on Andersen's page?
Edit: Also relevant for the template used to announce in the thread New APs.
