Arduino calculate prime numbers
I wrote some code to stress test my Arduino. The code below will make your Arduino calculate prime numbers.
long start = 0;
int max_seconds = 30;
long i = 2; // Start at 2
long found = 0; // Number of primes we've found
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
while (!Serial) { }
Serial.println("");
Serial.print("Running prime benchmark for ");
Serial.print(max_seconds);
Serial.println(" seconds...");
start = millis();
}
void loop() {
int prime = is_prime(i); // Check if the number we're on is prime
if (prime == 1) {
found++;
if (found % 2000 == 0) {
Serial.print(".");
}
if (found % 50000 == 0) {
Serial.print("\n");
}
}
int running_seconds = (millis() - start) / 1000;
if (max_seconds > 0 && (running_seconds >= max_seconds)) {
Serial.print("\nFound ");
Serial.print(found);
Serial.print(" primes in ");
Serial.print(max_seconds);
Serial.println(" seconds");
delay(10000);
i = 2;
found = 0;
start = millis();
}
i++;
}
int is_prime(long num) {
// Only have to check for divisible for the sqrt(number)
int upper = sqrt(num);
// Check if the number is evenly divisible (start at 2 going up)
for (long cnum = 2; cnum <= upper; cnum++) {
long mod = num % cnum; // Remainder
if (mod == 0) {
return 0;
} // If the remainer is 0 it's evenly divisible
}
return 1; // If you get this far it's prime
}
