PrimeGrid is a distributed computing project which utilizes
BOINC and PRPNet to search for primes. PrimeGrid's primary
goal is to bring the excitement of prime finding to the
"everyday" computer user. Simply download the software and
let your computer do the rest. Participants can choose from
a variety of prime forms to search. With a little patience,
you may find a large or even record breaking prime.
