Thanks Alec for pointing out the incorrect prime count (I was failing
to mark the
last element in the array as non-prime).
Michael, I divided the sieve program into three parts: create array,
mark primes, and
count primes. I then ran the sieve program under sage-3.0.1 and
sage-3.0.2.
Here is a summary of the times in seconds and percent:
(seconds) 3.0.1 3.0.2 (percent) 3.0.1 3.0.2
Create array 15.84 25.71 Create array 22 21
Mark primes 38.08 69.22 Mark primes 53 56
Count primes 17.62 28.96 Count primes 25 23
------------------------------------------------------------------
Elapsed 71.55 123.89 Elapsed 100 100
It looks like the GMP regression is effecting all parts of the program
equally.
When looked at from a percentage basis, there isn't much difference
in
percentages among the three parts of the program when run under
Sage-3.0.1 or
Sage-3.0.2.
Detailed timings and a revised sieve program follow:
