module fsieve /* The Fast Sieve of Eratosthenes. A sequential and optimized version of the sieve of Eratosthenes. The program calculates a list of the first NrOfPrime primes. The result of the program is the NrOfPrimes'th prime. Strictness annotations have been added because the strictness analyser is not able to deduce all strictness information. Removal of these !'s will make the program about 20% slower. On a machine without a math coprocessor the execution of this program might take a (very) long time. Set NrOfPrimes to a smaller value. */ import StdClass; // RWS import StdInt, StdReal NrOfPrimes :== 3000 // The sieve algorithm: generate an infinite list of all primes.
