Hello
I would like to know if there is a way to compute the Sieve of erastothenes with pure data
why not load a text file containing a list of primes into a table? eg: http://primes.utm.edu/lists/small/millions/
the largest prime pd can handle is less than 16.3M (24bit floating point mantissa precision, pd-double could go a lot further), which makes just over 1M primes.
and spit out numbers which can be used for MIDI notes.
or use them for reverb delay line times, etc
There used to be a simple unix program that i used but it no longer is available.
Has anyone tried this with pd? I found some Java code for it.
should be relatively trivial to translate to Lua or C, doing it in Pd would be possible but boring and slow
