Gaps between consecutive primes
by Cassandra Schaening-Burgos
and Karlo Martinez Martos
prime_gap_FINAL.c
Determines the gap between all consecutive primes in the range of integers from
1 to 10.000.001. It does this in parallel by assigning a chunk of contiguous
integers to each processor, which then determines the largest gap in its range.
A separate loop determines the length of the gap between the last prime of a
chunk and the first of the following chunk.
Compile with:
$ mpicc prime_gap_FINAL.c -o prime_gap
Run as:
$ mpirun -np <numprocs> prime_gap
Where <numprocs> is the number of processor to be used.
This must be done on a cluster or computer with multiple processors and
support for MPI.
