We discuss a method for computing Σ �≤� 1/�, using time about �2/3 and space about �1/3. It is based on the Meissel-Lehmer algorithm for computing the prime-counting function �(�), which was adapted and improved by Lagarias, Miller, and Odlyzko. We used this algorithm to determine the first point at which the prime harmonic sum first crosses.

In this paper we consider the problem of computing xe mod m for large integers x, e, and m. This is the bottleneck in Rabin’s algorithm for testing primality, the Diffie-Hellman algorithm for exchanging cryptographic keys, and many other common algorithms.

We present the pseudosquares prime sieve, which finds all primes up to n.

In this paper we present improvements to Bernstein’s algorithm, which finds rigorous upper and lower bounds for (x, y).
