Twin Prime Search is a distributed computing project that searches for large twin primes using LLR (for testing) and NewPGen (for sieving). So far, TPS has found one twin prime that was the largest in the world at the time of discovery. It works in collaboration with PrimeGrid, which does most of the LLR tests.

To join TPS, download NewPGen and reserve your ranges here: http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=8137
