Summary: Utilities related to prime numbers, including fast sieves and factoring
Description:
A set of utilities related to prime numbers. These include multiple sieving.methods, is_prime, prime_count, nth_prime, approximations and bounds for the prime_count and nth prime, next_prime and prev_prime, factoring utilities, and more. The default sieving and factoring are intended to be (and currently are) the fastest on CPAN, including the Math::Prime::XS manpage, the Math::Prime::FastSieve manpage, the Math::Factor::XS manpage, the Math::Prime::TiedArray manpage, the Math::Big::Factors manpage, the Math::Factoring manpage, and the Math::Primality manpage (when the GMP module is available). For numbers in the 10-20 digit range, it is often orders of magnitude faster. Typically it is faster than the Math::Pari manpage for 64-bit operations. All operations support both Perl UV's (32-bit or 64-bit) and bignums. It requires no external software for big number support, as there are Perl implementations included that solely use Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat. If you want high performance with big numbers (larger than Perl's UV size), you should install the Math::Prime::Util::GMP manpage. This will be a recurring theme throughout this documentation -- while all bignum operations are supported in pure Perl, most methods will be much slower than the C+GMP alternative. The module is thread-safe and allows concurrency between Perl threads while still sharing a prime cache. It is not itself multi-threaded. See the Limitations section if you are using Win32 and threads in your program. Two scripts are also included and installed by default: =over 4 =item * primes.pl displays primes between start and end values or expressions, with many options for filtering (e.g. twin, safe, circular, good, lucky, etc.). Use `--help' to see all the options. =item * factor.pl operates similar to the GNU `factor' program. It supports bigint and expression inputs. =back
