Prime Number Program (Fun)
Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone has, or knows where to download a prime number finder program. I would like a fairly simple bash program, and also I would like one that could take advantage of multiple processors. I have 500 cores I can use, and would like to take advantage of them using a prime number finder.
Thanks

Hello,
I have some extra time at work and I'm trying to come up with a good prime number generator for very large numbers that can take advantage of multiple (hundreds) cores. I realize Perl may not be the best solution for this, any ideas?

NAME
openssl-prime, prime - compute prime numbers
SYNOPSIS
openssl prime [-help] [-hex] [-generate] [-bits] [-safe] [-checks] [number...]
DESCRIPTION
The prime command checks if the specified numbers are prime.
If no numbers are given on the command line, the -generate flag should be used to generate primes according to the requirements specified
by the rest of the flags.
OPTIONS
[-help]
Display an option summary.
[-hex]
Generate hex output.
[-generate]
Generate a prime number.
[-bits num]
Generate a prime with num bits.
[-safe]
When used with -generate, generates a "safe" prime. If the number generated is n, then check that (n-1)/2 is also prime.
[-checks num]
Perform the checks num times to see that the generated number is prime. The default is 20.
