  2. Generation of primes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_of_primes

    A prime sieve or prime number sieve is a fast type of algorithm for finding primes. There are many prime sieves. The simple sieve of Eratosthenes (250s BCE), the sieve of Sundaram (1934), the still faster but more complicated sieve of Atkin [1] (2003), sieve of Pritchard (1979), and various wheel sieves [2] are most common.

  3. Sieve of Eratosthenes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes

    A prime number is a natural number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: the number 1 and itself. To find all the prime numbers less than or equal to a given integer n by Eratosthenes' method: Create a list of consecutive integers from 2 through n: (2, 3, 4, ..., n). Initially, let p equal 2, the smallest prime number.

  4. Wireshark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireshark

    Wireshark is very similar to tcpdump, but has a graphical front-end and integrated sorting and filtering options.. Wireshark lets the user put network interface controllers into promiscuous mode (if supported by the network interface controller), so they can see all the traffic visible on that interface including unicast traffic not sent to that network interface controller's MAC address.

  5. Sieve of Atkin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Atkin

    The following is pseudocode which combines Atkin's algorithms 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 [1] by using a combined set s of all the numbers modulo 60 excluding those which are multiples of the prime numbers 2, 3, and 5, as per the algorithms, for a straightforward version of the algorithm that supports optional bit-packing of the wheel; although not specifically mentioned in the referenced paper, this ...

  6. Sieve of Pritchard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Pritchard

    A prime number is a natural number that has no natural number divisors other than the number 1 and itself.. To find all the prime numbers less than or equal to a given integer N, a sieve algorithm examines a set of candidates in the range 2, 3, …, N, and eliminates those that are not prime, leaving the primes at the end.

  7. Prim's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prim's_algorithm

    These algorithms find the minimum spanning forest in a possibly disconnected graph; in contrast, the most basic form of Prim's algorithm only finds minimum spanning trees in connected graphs. However, running Prim's algorithm separately for each connected component of the graph, it can also be used to find the minimum spanning forest. [9]

  8. Sieve of Sundaram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Sundaram

    The remaining numbers are doubled and incremented by one, giving a list of the odd prime numbers (that is, all primes except 2) below 2n + 2. The sieve of Sundaram sieves out the composite numbers just as the sieve of Eratosthenes does, but even numbers are not considered; the work of "crossing out" the multiples of 2 is done by the final ...

  9. Meissel–Lehmer algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meissel–Lehmer_algorithm

    Meissel already found that for k ≥ 3, P k (x, a) = 0 if a = π(x 1/3).He used the resulting equation for calculations of π(x) for big values of x. [1]Meissel calculated π(x) for values of x up to 10 9, but he narrowly missed the correct result for the biggest value of x.
