Multi-Threaded Prime Number Generator

This project is a multi-threaded prime number generator written in C++. It efficiently finds prime numbers and logs them to a file.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• A C++ compiler that supports C++11 or later.
• CMake (optional, for building the project).

Building

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Aydinhamedi/PrimeGen_CPP_Multithreaded.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd prime-PrimeGen_CPP_Multithreaded
   

3. Compile the project:
   • If you have CMake installed, you can build the project using:

     cmake .
     make
     

   • Alternatively, compile the main.cpp file directly with your C++ compiler.

Or simply go to the github releases.

Running

• Run the compiled binary:

  ./PrimeGen_CPP_Multithreaded.exe
  

• The program will start generating prime numbers and logging them to Prime_nums.txt.

Usage

The program automatically adjusts the number of threads based on the hardware concurrency or a custom number for optimal performance. It displays the speed of prime number generation in primes per second.
