Prime95/MPrime

Downloads, sets up and runs Prime95.

wget https://raw.github.com/tdulcet/Distributed-Computing-Scripts/master/mprime.sh -qO - | bash -s -- [PrimeNet User ID] [Computer name] [Type of work] [Idle time to run]

To run Prime95 for Stress/Torture Testing, see the Testing and Benchmarking scripts.

CUDALucas

Downloads, builds, sets up and runs CUDALucas. Downloads, sets up and runs the Python script from Mlucas for automated PrimeNet assignments.

wget https://raw.github.com/tdulcet/Distributed-Computing-Scripts/master/cudalucas.sh -qO - | bash -s -- <PrimeNet Password> [PrimeNet User ID] [Type of work] [Idle time to run]

Mlucas

Downloads, builds, sets up and runs Mlucas. Supports x86 Intel and AMD and ARM CPUs, but only recommended for ARM CPUs, which Prime95/MPrime does not support. Prime95/MPrime is faster than Mlucas on x86 CPUs. Run: wget https://raw.github.com/tdulcet/Linux-System-Information/master/info.sh -qO - | bash -s to output your system information, including CPU and architecture. This script follows the recommended instructions on the Mlucas README for each architecture and CPU and is currently for testing only.
