Primecoin tree features:

  • Use GMP for bignum calculations in the mining threads
  • Replaced some bignum calculations with 64-bit arithmetic inside the sieve
  • Reduced the amount of memory allocations
  • L1 and L2 cache optimizations
  • Process only 10% of base primes when weaving the sieve
  • Configurable sieve size
