Description-en: program to perform Lucas-Lehmer test on a Mersenne number
mlucas is an open-source (and free/libre) program
for performing Lucas-Lehmer test on prime-exponent Mersenne numbers,
that is, integers of the form 2 ^ p - 1, with prime exponent p.
In short, everything you need to search for world-record Mersenne primes!
It has been used in the verification of various Mersenne primes,
including the 45th, 46th and 48th found Mersenne prime.
.
You may use it to test any suitable number as you wish,
but it is preferable that you do so in a coordinated fashion,
as part of the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS).
For more information on GIMPS,
see for details.
