C Linux 0.1.0
Pre-releaseRunning
PLEASE NOTE this will take up processor time, and quite a lot of it. In order to control it, you can start it in a terminal window (ctrl+alt+T
), and run ./PGS
, and use ctrl-c
to kill the process when you are done. Or, you can bring up system monitor, and search for PGS
. Please note that you will have to forcefully quit PGS
, not CPGS
, as this is a child process which does not quit the whole program.
Just unzip this in a directory, edit my.prefs
and enter in your email and password (You can sign up here)
Doubleclick PGS
to run.
Specs
You will need 250MB of disk space, even though the zip folder is only 12.2 MB. Once it downloads, it generates a sieve of the first 2,000,000,000 numbers, and stores them. This takes exactly 250MB, and is necessary.
Advanced
You can specify the number of threads to run in my.prefs. The optimal number is the number of cores in your CPU. Of course, this will make your computer very bogged down. For most users, I would suggest setting it to either 2 or 1.
