Collatz Conjecture is a distributed computing project by Jon Sonntag.
procedure
The Collatz problem , also known as the conjecture , is an unsolved mathematical problem that was posed by Lothar Collatz in 1937 . Collatz Conjecture is looking for numbers for which the Collatz conjecture does not apply. As the successor to the 3x + 1 @ home project , numbers above 2,361,183,346,958,000,000,001 are examined.
In order to refute the Collatz conjecture, the unused computing power is used on several thousand private and institutional computers: Collatz Conjecture runs automatically in the background using the BOINC platform. Currently (July 2014) around 2600 participants with around 4700 computers are taking part in the Collatz Conjecture project, an average of 1,361.1 TeraFLOPS being calculated.
The most successful German team is SETI.Germany as the team with the world's greatest achieved computing power.
