Short: Fastest Sieve of Eratosthenes prime test
Author: madmax@uni-paderborn.de (Dirk Held)
Uploader: madmax@uni-paderborn.de (Dirk Held)
Type: misc/math
Replaces misc/math/aYaSieve
Version: 1.3
Just to end(?) this contest "Who writes the fastest Sieve of Eratosthenes"
Tatahh ! Here comes .... AndYetAnotherSieveNT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(the fastest prime-number computer at this time)
((well ... was just kidding last time.;-))
[NT := (Next|Nice)Try | NewTechnology | Nose-Tip(ahead)]
On my system (A4k40+FPU+MMU,25 MHz, 16 MB RAM) it tests primes upto
240.000.000 in about 223.3 seconds !
100.000.000 in about 88.1 seconds,
10.000.000 in about 7.5 seconds,
1.000.000 in less than 0.6 seconds
So it´s about 6% faster and 3% larger than the previous Version.
The time cost ist about O(n*1.1) = O(n), this means, if the Programm calcs to a
10 times higher Number, the Program needs 11 times longer. The Program needs about
Number DIV 16 Bytes Memory.
So this Implementation of the Sieve of Eratosthenes is (still) about 4% faster, needs
the same RAM, and has (sniff) 3.8 times the size of the similar Program YaYaSieve.
Usage: aYaSieveNT [-(?|h|v|t)] Number
-? -h prints Usage ;-)
-v Verbose Mode (all Primes are printed....)
-t Test Mode : checks, if Number is Prime
Number to test 2..Number for primality (Number < 2^32 ;-)
aYaSieveNT is completely written in *pure* Amiga Modula-II. The amiga version is
compiled with "Amiga Modula-2 Compiler 68881, 4.301d, 19.06.94, © AMSoft"
This is NOT a trick, and it isn´t S*N! either.
This Program runs on every Amiga with Kick 2.0
The source ain't nevertheless available (YET). I WILL NOT *sell*, but publish it
later for free. If you are interested contact me: madmax@uni-paderborn.de
It is strictly ALLOWED to produce any aYaSieveNT-like program without
my permission :). (But who really cares about it ? Proggis like these are`n
usefull to factorise LARGE numbers (i.e. 100 or more digits), so why bother.
Try KillPrime on Aminet instead (Hi Brice:).
*IMPORTANT*
NO (more?) BUG
ups, there used to be a Bug (thank you Brice), but it´s already converted to a
feature, before you (Brice) noticed it. Due to internal limitations, my program
at least sieves to 6721, so wYgimtYw (what You get, is more than You wanted).
This readme is just a 1 minutes copycopy draft. :)
If you have questions drop me a mail.
Hellos and Greetings going out to: - everyone, who´s able to code a at least 10%
faster Version of Eratothenes´s Sieve
(according to Big-o Notation)
- those guys, which prefer a REAL 32 Bit (or
even 64 ??) Maschine
Aetschi-Baetschis and Buuhs going out to: - nobody
- or those guys, which are proud
to cope with a 64K or 640K
Barrier on Systems without an OS.
