PRIMES isn't the name of an algorithm: PRIMES is the name of a problem
in computer science. "the PRIMES algorithm" isn't "the algorithm named
PRIMES," but "the algorithm which solves PRIMES" -- either the AKS
primality algorithm or else Miller's test. There might be some new
additions to that list, but those are the only two fast deterministic
primality tests I know of.
I'm sorry if I was unclear.

Didn't even try: that question doesn't interest me.
