Task
Lucas-Lehmer test
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Lucas-Lehmer Test: for p a prime, the Mersenne number 2p − 1 is prime if and only if 2p − 1 divides S(p − 1) where S(n + 1) = (S(n))2 − 2, and S(1) = 4.

The following programs calculate all Mersenne primes up to the implementation's maximum precision, or the 47th Mersenne prime. (Which ever comes first).

[edit] Agena

Because of the very large numbers computed, the mapm binding is used to calculate with arbitrary precision.

readlib 'mapm';
 
mapm.xdigits(100);
 
mersenne := proc(p::number) is
local s, m;
s := 4;
m := mapm.xnumber(2^p) - 1;
if p = 2 then
return true
else
for i from 3 to p do
s := (mapm.xnumber(s)^2 - 2) % m
od;
return mapm.xtoNumber(s) = 0
fi
end;
 
for i from 3 to 64 do
if mersenne(i) then
write('M' & i & ' ')
fi
od;

produces:

M3 M5 M7 M13 M17 M19 M31

[edit] Erlang

-module(mp).
-export([main/0]).
 
main() -> [ io:format("M~p ", [P]) || P <- lists:seq(2,700), (P == 2) orelse (s((1 bsl P) - 1, P-1) == 0) ].
 
s(MP,1) -> 4 rem MP;
s(MP,N) -> X=s(MP,N-1), (X*X - 2) rem MP.

In 3 seconds will print

M2 M3 M5 M7 M13 M17 M19 M31 M61 M89 M107 M127 M521 M607

Testing larger numbers (i.e. 5000) is possible but will take few minutes.

[edit] F#

Simple arbitrary-precision version:

let rec s mp n =
if n = 1 then 4I % mp else ((s mp (n - 1)) ** 2 - 2I) % mp
 
[ for p in 2..47 do
if p = 2 || s ((1I <<< p) - 1I) (p - 1) = 0I then
yield p ]

[edit] Fortran

Works with: Fortran version 90 and later Only Mersenne number with prime exponent can be themselves prime but for the small numbers used in this example it was not worth the effort to include this check. As the size of the exponent increases this becomes more important.

[edit] Haskell

It is pointed out on the Sieve of Eratosthenes page that the following "sieve" is inefficient. Nonetheless it takes very little time compared to the Lucas-Lehmer test itself.

sieve (p:xs) = p : sieve [x | x <- xs, x `mod` p > 0]

It takes about 30 minutes to get up to:

[edit] Java

We use arbitrary-precision integers in order to be able to test any arbitrary prime.

import java.math.BigInteger;
public class Mersenne
{
 
public static boolean isPrime(int p) {
if (p == 2)
return true;
else if (p <= 1 || p % 2 == 0)
return false;
else {
int to = (int)Math.sqrt(p);
for (int i = 3; i <= to; i += 2)
if (p % i == 0)
return false;
return true;
}
}
 
public static boolean isMersennePrime(int p) {
if (p == 2)
return true;
else {
BigInteger m_p = BigInteger.ONE.shiftLeft(p).subtract(BigInteger.ONE);
BigInteger s = BigInteger.valueOf(4);
for (int i = 3; i <= p; i++)
s = s.multiply(s).subtract(BigInteger.valueOf(2)).mod(m_p);
return s.equals(BigInteger.ZERO);
}
}
 
// an arbitrary upper bound can be given as an argument
public static void main(String[] args) {
int upb;
if (args.length == 0)
upb = 500;
else
upb = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
 
System.out.println(" Finding Mersenne primes in M[2.." + upb + "]: ");
for (int p = 3; p <= upb; p += 2)
if (isPrime(p) && isMersennePrime(p))
System.out.print(" M" + p);
System.out.println();
}
}

Output (after about eight hours):

Finding Mersenne primes in M[2..2147483647]: 
M2 M3 M5 M7 M13 M17 M19 M31 M61 M89 M107 M127 M521 M607 M1279 M2203 M2281 M3217 M4253 M4423 M9689 M9941 M11213

[edit] Mathematica

This version is very speedy and is bounded.

Select[Table[M = 2^p - 1; 
For[i = 1; s = 4, i <= p - 2, i++, s = Mod[s^2 - 2, M]];
If[s == 0, "M" <> ToString@p, p], {p,
Prime /@ Range[300]}], StringQ]
 
=> {M3, M5, M7, M13, M17, M19, M31, M61, M89, M107, M127, M521, M607, M1279}

This version is unbounded (and timed):

t = SessionTime[];
For[p = 2, True, p = NextPrime[p], M = 2^p - 1;
For[i = 1; s = 4, i <= p - 2, i++, s = Mod[s^2 - 2, M]];
If[s == 0, Print["M" <> ToString@p]]]
(SessionTime[] - t) {Seconds, Minutes/60, Hours/3600, Days/86400}

I'll see what this gets.

[edit] MATLAB

MATLAB suffers from a lack of an arbitrary precision math (bignums) library. It also doesn't have great support for 64-bit integer arithmetic...or at least MATLAB 2007 doesn't. So, the best precision we have is doubles; therefore, this script can only find up to M19 and no greater.

function [mNumber,mersennesPrime] = mersennePrimes()
 
function isPrime = lucasLehmerTest(thePrime)
 
llResidue = 4;
mersennesPrime = (2^thePrime)-1;
 
for i = ( 1:thePrime-2 )
llResidue = mod( ((llResidue^2) - 2),mersennesPrime );
end
 
isPrime = (llResidue == 0);
 
end
 
%Because IEEE764 Double is the highest precision number we can
%represent in MATLAB, the highest Mersenne Number we can test is 2^52.
%In addition, because we have this cap, we can only test up to the
%number 30 for Mersenne Primeness. When we input 31 into the
%Lucas-Lehmer test, during the computation of the residue, the
%algorithm multiplies two numbers together the result of which is
%greater than 2^53. Because we require every digit to be significant,
%this leads to an error. The Lucas-Lehmer test should say that M31 is a
%Mersenne Prime, but because of the rounding error in calculating the
%residues caused by floating-point arithmetic, it does not. So M30 is
%the largest number we test.
 
mNumber = (3:30);
 
[isPrime] = arrayfun(@lucasLehmerTest,mNumber);
 
mNumber = [2 mNumber(isPrime)];
mersennesPrime = (2.^mNumber) - 1;
 
end

Ouput:

[mNumber,mersennesPrime] = mersennePrimes
 
mNumber =
 
2 3 5 7 13 17 19
 
 
mersennesPrime =
 
3 7 31 127 8191 131071 524287

[edit] Modula-3

Modula-3 uses L as the literal for LONGINT.

MODULE LucasLehmer EXPORTS Main;
 
IMPORT IO, Fmt, Long;
 
PROCEDURE Mersenne(p: CARDINAL): BOOLEAN =
VAR
s := 4L;
m := Long.Shift(1L, p) - 1L; (* 2^p - 1 *)
BEGIN
IF p = 2 THEN
RETURN TRUE;
ELSE
FOR i := 3 TO p DO
s := (s * s - 2L) MOD m;
END;
RETURN s = 0L;
END;
END Mersenne;
 
BEGIN
FOR i := 2 TO 63 DO
IF Mersenne(i) THEN
IO.Put("M" & Fmt.Int(i) & " ");
END;
END;
IO.Put("\n");
END LucasLehmer.

Output:

[edit] Perl

Perl's Math::BigInt core module is a class that implements arbitrary-precision integers.

Here we use the bigint pragma to transparently have number constants and operations be bigints:

sub is_prime {
my $p = shift;
if ($p == 2) {
return 1;
} elsif ($p <= 1 || $p % 2 == 0) {
return 0;
} else {
my $limit = sqrt($p);
for (my $i = 3; $i <= $limit; $i += 2) {
return 0 if $p % $i == 0;
}
return 1;
}
}
 
sub is_mersenne_prime {
use bigint;
my $p = shift;
if ($p == 2) {
return 1;
} else {
my $m_p = 2 ** $p - 1;
my $s = 4;
 
foreach my $i (3 .. $p) {
$s = ($s ** 2 - 2) % $m_p;
}
return $s == 0;
}
}
 
my $precision = 20000; # maximum requested number of decimal places of 2 ** MP-1 #
my $long_bits_width = $precision / log(2) * log(10);
my $upb_prime = int(($long_bits_width - 1)/2); # no unsigned #
my $upb_count = 45; # find 45 mprimes if int was given enough bits #
 
print " Finding Mersenne primes in M[2..$upb_prime]:\n";
 
my $count = 0;
foreach my $p (2 .. $upb_prime) {
if (is_prime($p) && is_mersenne_prime($p)) {
print "M$p\n";
$count++;
}

[edit] Pop11

Checking large numbers takes a lot of time so we limit p to be smaller than 1000.

define Lucas_Lehmer_Test(p);
lvars mp = 2**p - 1, sn = 4, i;
for i from 2 to p - 1 do
(sn*sn - 2) rem mp -> sn;
endfor;
sn = 0;
enddefine;
 
lvars p = 3;
printf('M2', '%p\n');
while p < 1000 do
if Lucas_Lehmer_Test(p) then
printf('M', '%p');
printf(p, '%p\n');
endif;
p + 2 -> p;
endwhile;

The output (obtained in few seconds) is:

Sample output. The program was still running, but as the next Mersenne prime is 19937 there will be a long wait until the program finds it.
