Much of the FFT assembly code has been rewritten for better speed on newer CPU architectures. There are also many more FFT sizes supported. The net result is significantly faster test times for most users! To upgrade from version 25, simply exit Prime95, download the new version, and unzip the new version replacing the old version.

Prime95 v27.2 Early Preview

The only real difference is all FFT lengths are implemented. This should only make a difference to anyone testing 100M digit numbers.

Prime95 v27.6 Build 1

New features in Version 27.6 of prime95.exe
-------------------------------------------

1) Multi-threaded tests might be a little bit faster especially when using a lot of threads.
Of course, single-threaded usage still gives the best throughput.
2) FFT crossover points were adjusted. Many higher, a few lower.

The round off error can be incorrectly calculated. Fixed in 27.6 build 3.

Mprime -v does not print out the build number. Fixed in version 27.6 build 4.
Torture test on small FFTs gets round off errors or crashes after a while. Fixed in version 27.6 build 4.

Prime95 v27.7 Build 1

http://mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=16779

Windows 64-bit: ftp://mersenne.org/gimps/p64v277.zip
Windows 32-bit: ftp://mersenne.org/gimps/p95v277.zip

Torture test on small FFTs gets round off errors or crashes after a while. In very rare cases, regular tests could crash or raise a round off error. Fixed in version 27.7.
Multithreaded FFTs could deadlock. Fixed in version 27.7.


Why bump to version 27.7? I upgrade the minor version whenever there are changes that affect all users of the gwnum library.

In very rare cases, the bug could affect any test. How rare? In version 27.1 to 27.4, carries were propagated to 8 FFT words. In 27.6 carries were propagated to just 4 FFT words. Assuming there are 18 bits per FFT word, then a 53-bit floating point result will need to propagate carries into 2 words. But, if that second word overflows and the third word is 2^18-1 and the fourth word is 2^18-1, then 27.6 would try to propagate into the fifth word and the bug is triggered. Thus, the chance of encountering the bug was about 1 in 2^36 (1 in 2^108 in earlier v27 versions). So, don't lose any sleep over bad LL results.
