Nature and Background of the
Study
AbstractThe focus of the project was to generate a titanic prime number by using high performance computing resources. What makes prime numbers significant is their use in modern computers for the encryption of data. The generation of primes are particularly computing intensive the larger the prime. This makes titanic primes (thousand digit prime numbers) a perfect candidate for distribution through grid infrastructure. In order for the demands of the project to be met, a prime number generator had to be created. Multiple computer languages such as Javascript, Java, and C++ were tested for use in an attempt to develop a generator. Functionality was verified first through the terminal and then by job submission to Elizabeth City State University’s VikeGrid (a Condor based computer cluster). Overall, the results indicated the successes of the project and the improvements needed for continued work.

1st Generator• Ran out of Memory
2nd Generator• Over data type limitOnly original generator finished
Future WorkA titanic prime was not found in this project. In order to find a titanic prime, there were several things that should be considered:
Finding arguments for jar files
Exceeding the double data type
Memory Issue• Above average computers• Erasing numbers• Parallel Computing
Installing condor_compile
