This is a very slow, but interesting prime number finding program running on LBPHacker's R16K1S60 CPU.

Portagoras, thank you! That is a bug.

Programs are running right now that are 100 times faster to get big prime numbers, and those arn't in chronological order. Current record is at 22,338,618 digits long.

do you think you'd be able to make a program to calculate pi?

this is brilliant.. you know, if you left it running for long enough you would get a number the gouvernment would pay you a LOT of money for. (but it would be thousands of digits long :/)

Cool! People use machines to find prime numbers? I've been doing it by hand.

This is impressive, great use of LBPHacker's P1. +1

Mhm the display isn't correct, when we get over 100, guess that has something todo with how you code binary to decimal. 101 got displayed as 11

Nice I've been waiting for this computer to be used on a project... unfortunately I acidently clicked downvote... can I change that?

Wow. I would never have thought printing decimals would be so fast when implemented in software. Nice one.
