concurrentprimesieve (v 0.2.4)

Tools for generating filters and collections with primes concurrently.

Rust implementation of the Sieve of Atkin.

This implementation runs in O( sqrt(maxnum) + sectionsize ) (where sectionsize = maxnum - min_num)

This implementation built to work well with parallel processing, distributed computing tasks, or if a reasonably large section of primes is desired within a range that is roughly quadratic to the size of the section. (e.g., If you need primes in a block of size 10^9 starting at 10^18.)

There is no need to calculate smaller primes or to have any communication between threads, as each section of primes is calculated completely independently.

concurrent_prime_sieve::filter

Rust fn prime_filter(max_num: usize) -> Vec<bool>

Generates a vector of bools of size max_num, with true at each prime index, and false otherwise.

The number of threads is based on the number of virtual cores detected.

Rust fn prime_filter_concurrently(max_num: usize, threads: usize) -> Vec<bool>

Similar to fn prime_filter, but allows for a custom number of threads.

Rust fn prime_filter_sequentially(max_num: usize) -> Vec<bool>

Similar to fn prime_filter, but does not spawn any new threads. (Note: This function has not been optimized. May eventually borrow an outside resource.)

Rust fn prime_filter_section(min_num:usize, max_num: usize) -> Vec<bool>

Similar to fn prime_filter, but just for numbers between min and max, returned in a vector of length max-min.

Rust fn prime_filter_section_concurrently(min_num: usize, max_num: usize, threads: usize) -> Vec<bool>

Similar to fn prime_filter_section, but allows for a custom number of threads.

Rust fn prime_filter_section_sequentially(min_num: usize, max_num: usize) -> Vec<bool>

Similar to fn prime_filter_section, but does not spawn any new threads.

concurrent_prime_sieve::collection

Rust fn primes(max_num: usize) -> Vec<usize>

Generates a vector collection of primes strictly less than max_num.

The number of threads is based on the number of virtual cores detected.

Rust fn primes_concurrently(max_num:usize, threads:usize) -> Vec<usize>

Similar to fn primes, but allows for a custom number of threads.

Rust fn primes_sequentially(max_num: usize) -> Vec<usize>

Similar to fn primes, but does not spawn any new threads. (Note: This function has not been optimized. May eventually borrow an outside resource.)

Rust fn primes_section(min_num: usize, max_num: usize) -> Vec<usize>

Generates a vector collection of primes between minnum and maxnum.

The number of threads is based on the number of virtual cores detected.

Rust fn primes_section_concurrently(min_num:usize, max_num:usize, threads:usize) -> Vec<usize>

Similar to fn primes_section, but allows for a custom number of threads.

Rust fn primes_section_sequentially(min_num:usize, max_num:usize, threads:usize) -> Vec<usize>

Similar to fn primes_section, but does not spawn any new threads.
