News:
  • Tpp 2.8 is ready for testing. Download here. The benchmark has now been extended, since the results for the fastest CPUs were getting so small (0.73s f.ex).
  • The Tpp FAQ is now ready, please take a look at it.

    Tpp is a very simple program for playing around with primes. It's not very fast, in fact it's darn slow, but I'm working on it. I've had most fun using Tpp as a benchmarking tool. But I don't think it can be compared to things such as specbench and the likes, it simply tells you how fast your machine can find all the primes between 1 and 1000000 using my method.

    Version 2.8 is a lot faster than the older versions. I rewrote the code, so that alone could speed up the program since the previous code was dirty and inefficient. Some unnecessary features were also removed, since other utilities were better and more convenient to use. Version 2.8 contains many speed and code enhancements by Mr Oliver Fromme.

    Please send any comments and/or suggestions to morten
