Hi there! I have made an RSA coder in C++ which runs on a single thread. The prime generation takes up most of the CPU time, I'd prefer to speed it up using multiple cores. The random number is generated by MPIR and tested by the Miller-Rabin primality test with 40 iterations. I am using Visual Studio and my target platform is Windows. What method would you recommend on speeding up the primality testing? >> If your platform is windows, then native threads makes sense to me unless you need to run it on Posix systems also. If you need Posix support, then there is a Windows port of Pthreads that you can use. Sourceforge is one place that you can get it. You could also launch separate processes and use shared memory, but threading is probably simpler. << -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
