A titan, as defined by Samuel Yates, is anyone who has found a titanic prime . This page provides data on those that have found these primes. The data below only reflect on the primes currently on the list. (Many of the terms that are used here are explained on another page .)

"PrimeForm" (the former name of this program) allows
probable prime tests of arbitrary expressions, and
deterministic classical tests wherever possible. The
current version, PrimeForm/GW, is available
here for many x86 platforms, including Windows, Linux,
and Mac. It uses the George Woltman libraries (gwnum), as
developed for the GIMPS project, for high-speed PRP and
classical testing of arbitrary forms. There are both 32-bit
and 64-bit builds available. You will also find a WIndows
GUI version of PFGW, called WinPFGW, that can run on
Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
OpenPFGW is an open source project. The
source code is freely available and all contributions
are welcome. You can find discussions on pfgw capabilities
and usage. You can find discussions on pfgw
releases.
The previous version of the program, "PrimeForm for
Windows", is now obsolete. It is a sister program to Yves
Gallot's proth.exe and uses the same mathematics libraries
as proth.exe. It is still available for users who prefer a
GUI, but it is several times slower than pfgw.
Many thanks to George Woltman and Yves Gallot for providing
their wonderful mathematics libraries for the respective
program versions. Thanks to Chris Caldwell and Preda
Mihailescu for optimizations of the classical tests, thanks
also go to Chris for supporting the p?? prover codes in the
top 5000 database. Above all, thanks and appreciation go to
the numerous mathematicians and computer scientists whose
methods are used by the program.
I administer OpenPFGW (a.k.a. PrimeForm) and I would like to
