- Wieferich at Home
Wieferich@Home is the Internet-based
distributed computing (DC) project searching forWieferich prime s. It is the first Czech DC project. The only known Wieferich primes are 1093 and 3511, found in 1913 and in 1922, respectively. It is not known, if there exist infinitely or finitely many Wieferich primes, or if only the two known primes exist. The project is included in number of lists of distributed computing projects. Everybody can participate in this problem by running a free application on own computer; the solution can be important innumber theory , maybe also incryptography .Sources
