PRIME_SERIAL\ Program to Count Primes {#prime_serial-program-to-count-primes align=”center”} =======================
PRIME_SERIAL is a C++ program which counts the number of primes between 1 and N, and is intended as a starting point for a parallel version.
The algorithm is completely naive. For each integer I, it simply checks whether any smaller J evenly divides it. The total amount of work for a given N is thus roughly proportional to 1/2*N\^2.
Here are the counts of the number of primes for some selected values of N:
N Number of Primes ————— —————— 1 0 10 4 100 25 1,000 168 10,000 1,229 100,000 9,592 1,000,000 78,498 10,000,000 664,579 100,000,000 5,761,455 1,000,000,000 50,847,534
