It is +a straight forward extension of the original Gilbreath version ( +Gilbreath, Jim. "A High-Level Language Benchmark." BYTE, September 1981, +p. 180, and also Gilbreath, Jim and Gary. "Eratosthenes Revisited: Once +More Through the Sieve." BYTE January 1983, p. 283 ). Unlike the Sieve of +Gilbreath, NSIEVE uses register long variables, pointers,and large byte +arrays via 'malloc()'. Maximum array size is currently set at 2.56 MBytes +but this can be increased or decreased by changing the program LIMIT +constant. |
