primesieve-7.3 improves the cache efficiency of the sieving algorithm for large sieving primes. By using aligned memory it is possible to reduce the number of pointer indirections which reduces cache pollution. I have measured a speed up of 15% near 1e18 and a speed up of 25% near 1e19.

  • EratBig.cpp: Improve cache efficiency.
  • MemoryPoop.cpp: Allocate buckets aligned by sizeof(Bucket).
  • Bucket.hpp: sizeof(Bucket) is now a power of 2.
  • primesieve::iterator: Support C++ move semantics.
  • cmdoptions.cpp: Fix array out of bounds bug.
  • CpuInfo.cpp: Fix MinGW/MSYS2 -Wcast-function-type warning.
