列出N以下所有素数的最快方法

这是我能提出的最佳算法。

def get_primes(n):
    numbers = set(range(n, 1, -1))
    primes = []
    while numbers:
        p = numbers.pop()
        primes.append(p)
        numbers.difference_update(set(range(p*2, n+1, p)))
    return primes

>>> timeit.Timer(stmt='get_primes.get_primes(1000000)', setup='import   get_primes').timeit(1)
1.1499958793645562

可以做得更快吗？

此代码存在缺陷：由于numbers是无序集，因此无法保证numbers.pop()将从集合中删除最小数字。然而，它对某些输入数字起作用（至少对我而言）：

>>> sum(get_primes(2000000))
142913828922L
#That's the correct sum of all numbers below 2 million
>>> 529 in get_primes(1000)
False
>>> 529 in get_primes(530)
True

37 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分：345)

警告： timeit结果可能会因硬件或硬件的不同而有所不同 Python版本。

下面是一个比较大量实现的脚本：

非常感谢stephan让我注意了sieve_wheel_30。 对于primesfrom2to，primesfrom3to，rwh_primes，rwh_primes1和rwh_primes2，积分转到Robert William Hanks。

在测试的普通Python方法中，使用psyco ，对于n = 1000000， rwh_primes1 是测试最快的。

+---------------------+-------+
| Method              | ms    |
+---------------------+-------+
| rwh_primes1         | 43.0  |
| sieveOfAtkin        | 46.4  |
| rwh_primes          | 57.4  |
| sieve_wheel_30      | 63.0  |
| rwh_primes2         | 67.8  |    
| sieveOfEratosthenes | 147.0 |
| ambi_sieve_plain    | 152.0 |
| sundaram3           | 194.0 |
+---------------------+-------+

在测试的普通Python方法中，没有psyco ，对于n = 1000000， rwh_primes2 是最快的。

+---------------------+-------+
| Method              | ms    |
+---------------------+-------+
| rwh_primes2         | 68.1  |
| rwh_primes1         | 93.7  |
| rwh_primes          | 94.6  |
| sieve_wheel_30      | 97.4  |
| sieveOfEratosthenes | 178.0 |
| ambi_sieve_plain    | 286.0 |
| sieveOfAtkin        | 314.0 |
| sundaram3           | 416.0 |
+---------------------+-------+

在所有测试的方法中，允许numpy ，对于n = 1000000， primesfrom2to 是测试最快的。

+---------------------+-------+
| Method              | ms    |
+---------------------+-------+
| primesfrom2to       | 15.9  |
| primesfrom3to       | 18.4  |
| ambi_sieve          | 29.3  |
+---------------------+-------+

使用以下命令测量计时：

python -mtimeit -s"import primes" "primes.{method}(1000000)"

将{method}替换为每个方法名称。

更快更好更多内存纯Python代码：

def primes(n):
    """ Returns  a list of primes < n """
    sieve = [True] * n
    for i in range(3,int(n**0.5)+1,2):
        if sieve[i]:
            sieve[i*i::2*i]=[False]*((n-i*i-1)//(2*i)+1)
    return [2] + [i for i in range(3,n,2) if sieve[i]]

或从半筛开始

def primes1(n):
    """ Returns  a list of primes < n """
    sieve = [True] * (n//2)
    for i in range(3,int(n**0.5)+1,2):
        if sieve[i//2]:
            sieve[i*i//2::i] = [False] * ((n-i*i-1)//(2*i)+1)
    return [2] + [2*i+1 for i in range(1,n//2) if sieve[i]]

更快更好更多内存方面的numpy代码：

import numpy
def primesfrom3to(n):
    """ Returns a array of primes, 3 <= p < n """
    sieve = numpy.ones(n//2, dtype=numpy.bool)
    for i in range(3,int(n**0.5)+1,2):
        if sieve[i//2]:
            sieve[i*i//2::i] = False
    return 2*numpy.nonzero(sieve)[0][1::]+1

从三分之一的筛子开始变化更快：

import numpy
def primesfrom2to(n):
    """ Input n>=6, Returns a array of primes, 2 <= p < n """
    sieve = numpy.ones(n//3 + (n%6==2), dtype=numpy.bool)
    for i in range(1,int(n**0.5)//3+1):
        if sieve[i]:
            k=3*i+1|1
            sieve[       k*k//3     ::2*k] = False
            sieve[k*(k-2*(i&1)+4)//3::2*k] = False
    return numpy.r_[2,3,((3*numpy.nonzero(sieve)[0][1:]+1)|1)]

上述代码的（难以编码）纯python版本将是：

def primes2(n):
    """ Input n>=6, Returns a list of primes, 2 <= p < n """
    n, correction = n-n%6+6, 2-(n%6>1)
    sieve = [True] * (n//3)
    for i in range(1,int(n**0.5)//3+1):
      if sieve[i]:
        k=3*i+1|1
        sieve[      k*k//3      ::2*k] = [False] * ((n//6-k*k//6-1)//k+1)
        sieve[k*(k-2*(i&1)+4)//3::2*k] = [False] * ((n//6-k*(k-2*(i&1)+4)//6-1)//k+1)
    return [2,3] + [3*i+1|1 for i in range(1,n//3-correction) if sieve[i]]

不幸的是，pure-python不采用更简单，更快速的numpy方式进行赋值，并且在len()中调用[False]*len(sieve[((k*k)//3)::2*k])内部的{{1}}太慢了。所以我不得不即兴改正输入（并避免更多数学运算）并做一些极端（和痛苦）的数学魔术。

我个人认为numpy（这是如此广泛使用）不是Python标准库的一部分，并且Python开发人员完全忽略了语法和速度的改进，这是一种遗憾。

答案 2 :(得分：42)

Python Cookbook here中有一个非常简洁的样本 - 该URL上提出的最快版本是：

import itertools
def erat2( ):
    D = {  }
    yield 2
    for q in itertools.islice(itertools.count(3), 0, None, 2):
        p = D.pop(q, None)
        if p is None:
            D[q*q] = q
            yield q
        else:
            x = p + q
            while x in D or not (x&1):
                x += p
            D[x] = p

这样就可以了

def get_primes_erat(n):
  return list(itertools.takewhile(lambda p: p<n, erat2()))

使用pri.py中的代码测量shell提示符（我喜欢这样做），我观察到：

$ python2.5 -mtimeit -s'import pri' 'pri.get_primes(1000000)'
10 loops, best of 3: 1.69 sec per loop
$ python2.5 -mtimeit -s'import pri' 'pri.get_primes_erat(1000000)'
10 loops, best of 3: 673 msec per loop

所以看起来Cookbook解决方案的速度快了两倍。

    for step in xrange(3, max_n+1, 2):
        for i in xrange(initial, half, step):
            numbers[i-1] = 0
        initial += 2*(step+1)

        if initial > half:
            return [2] + filter(None, numbers)

您认为numbers.pop()将返回集合中的最小数字，但这根本不能保证。集合是无序的，pop()删除并返回arbitrary元素，因此不能用于从剩余数字中选择下一个素数。

对于具有足够大N的真正最快的解决方案，将下载pre-calculated list of primes，将其存储为元组并执行以下操作：

for pos,i in enumerate(primes):
    if i > N:

如果仅N > primes[-1] ，则计算更多素数并将新列表保存在代码中，以便下次同样快。

如果你接受itertools而不是numpy，这里是对Python 3的rwh_primes2的改编，它在我的机器上的运行速度大约是其两倍。唯一重大的变化是使用bytearray而不是boolean列表，并使用compress而不是list comprehension来构建最终列表。 （如果我能够的话，我会把它添加为像moarningsun这样的评论。）

izip = itertools.zip_longest
chain = itertools.chain.from_iterable
compress = itertools.compress
def rwh_primes2_python3(n):

    zero = bytearray([False])
    size = n//3 + (n % 6 == 2)
    sieve = bytearray([True]) * size
    sieve[0] = False
    for i in range(int(n**0.5)//3+1):
      if sieve[i]:
        k=3*i+1|1
        start = (k*k+4*k-2*k*(i&1))//3
        sieve[(k*k)//3::2*k]=zero*((size - (k*k)//3 - 1) // (2 * k) + 1)
        sieve[  start ::2*k]=zero*((size -   start  - 1) // (2 * k) + 1)
    ans = [2,3]
    poss = chain(izip(*[range(i, n, 6) for i in (1,5)]))
    ans.extend(compress(poss, sieve))
    return ans

对于最快的代码，numpy解决方案是最好的。但是出于纯粹的学术原因，我发布了我的纯python版本，它比上面发布的cookbook版本快了不到50％。由于我在内存中创建了整个列表，因此您需要足够的空间来容纳所有内容，但它似乎可以很好地扩展。

def daniel_sieve_2(maxNumber):
    """
    Given a number, returns all numbers less than or equal to
    that number which are prime.
    """
    allNumbers = range(3, maxNumber+1, 2)
    for mIndex, number in enumerate(xrange(3, maxNumber+1, 2)):
        if allNumbers[mIndex] == 0:
            continue
        # now set all multiples to 0
        for index in xrange(mIndex+number, (maxNumber-3)/2+1, number):
            allNumbers[index] = 0
    return [2] + filter(lambda n: n!=0, allNumbers)

结果：

所有这些都是经过编写和测试的。所以没有必要重新发明轮子。

python -m timeit -r10 -s"from sympy import sieve" "primes = list(sieve.primerange(1, 10**6))"

为我们创造了 12.2毫秒的记录！

10 loops, best of 10: 12.2 msec per loop

如果这还不够快，你可以试试PyPy：

pypy -m timeit -r10 -s"from sympy import sieve" "primes = list(sieve.primerange(1, 10**6))"

导致：

10 loops, best of 10: 2.03 msec per loop

247 up-votes的答案列出了15.9 ms的最佳解决方案。 比较这个!!!

这是问题中解决方案的一种变体，应该比问题中的解决方案更快。它使用了Eratosthenes的静态筛子，没有其他优化。

我对这个问题反应迟钝，但这似乎是一个有趣的练习。我正在使用可能会作弊的numpy，我怀疑这种方法是最快的，但应该很清楚。它仅引用一个布尔数组，仅引用其索引，并从所有True值的索引中引出素数。不需要模数。

import numpy as np
def ajs_primes3a(upto):
    mat = np.ones((upto), dtype=bool)
    mat[0] = False
    mat[1] = False
    mat[4::2] = False
    for idx in range(3, int(upto ** 0.5)+1, 2):
        mat[idx*2::idx] = False
    return np.where(mat == True)[0]

答案 24 :(得分：0)

对于较大的 n 值，这是迄今为止最快的解决方案（至少在我的机器上）。它同时使用 numpy 和 bitarray，并受到来自 this answer 的 primesfrom2to 的启发。在我的机器上，n 的值超过约 1.5 亿时速度更快。

import numpy as np
from bitarray import bitarray


def bit_primes(n):
    bit_sieve = bitarray(n // 3 + (n % 6 == 2))
    bit_sieve.setall(1)
    bit_sieve[0] = False

    for i in range(int(n ** 0.5) // 3 + 1):
        if bit_sieve[i]:
            k = 3 * i + 1 | 1
            bit_sieve[k * k // 3::2 * k] = False
            bit_sieve[(k * k + 4 * k - 2 * k * (i & 1)) // 3::2 * k] = False

    np_sieve = np.unpackbits(np.frombuffer(bit_sieve.tobytes(), dtype=np.uint8)).astype(np.bool, copy=False)
    return np.concatenate(((2, 3), ((3 * np.flatnonzero(np_sieve) + 1) | 1)))

这是与 primesfrom2to 的比较：

python3.9 -m timeit -s "import fast_primes" "fast_primes.bit_primes(500_000_000)"
1 loop, best of 5: 1.22 sec per loop

python3.9 -m timeit -s "import fast_primes" "fast_primes.primesfrom2to(500_000_000)"
1 loop, best of 5: 1.95 sec per loop

我可能迟到了派对但是必须为此添加我自己的代码。它在空间中使用大约n / 2，因为我们不需要存储偶数，我也使用了bitarray python模块，进一步大幅减少了内存消耗，并可以计算所有素数高达1,000,000,000 

from bitarray import bitarray
def primes_to(n):
    size = n//2
    sieve = bitarray(size)
    sieve.setall(1)
    limit = int(n**0.5)
    for i in range(1,limit):
        if sieve[i]:
            val = 2*i+1
            sieve[(i+i*val)::val] = 0
    return [2] + [2*i+1 for i, v in enumerate(sieve) if v and i > 0]

python -m timeit -n10 -s "import euler" "euler.primes_to(1000000000)"

到目前为止，我尝试过的最快的方法是基于Python cookbook erat2函数：

import itertools as it
def erat2a( ):
    D = {  }
    yield 2
    for q in it.islice(it.count(3), 0, None, 2):
        p = D.pop(q, None)
        if p is None:
            D[q*q] = q
            yield q
        else:
            x = q + 2*p
            while x in D:
                x += 2*p
            D[x] = p

很抱歉打扰但是erat2（）在算法中存在严重缺陷。

在搜索下一个复合时，我们只需要测试奇数。 q，p都是奇数;然后q + p是偶数且不需要测试，但q + 2 * p总是奇数。这消除了while循环条件下的“if even”测试，并节省了大约30％的运行时间。

虽然我们正在考虑它：而不是优雅的'D.pop（q，None）'获取和删除方法使用'如果q在D：p = D [q]，del D [q]'这是快两倍！至少在我的机器上（P3-1Ghz）。 所以我建议这个聪明算法的实现：

def erat3( ):
    from itertools import islice, count

    # q is the running integer that's checked for primeness.
    # yield 2 and no other even number thereafter
    yield 2
    D = {}
    # no need to mark D[4] as we will test odd numbers only
    for q in islice(count(3),0,None,2):
        if q in D:                  #  is composite
            p = D[q]
            del D[q]
            # q is composite. p=D[q] is the first prime that
            # divides it. Since we've reached q, we no longer
            # need it in the map, but we'll mark the next
            # multiple of its witnesses to prepare for larger
            # numbers.
            x = q + p+p        # next odd(!) multiple
            while x in D:      # skip composites
                x += p+p
            D[x] = p
        else:                  # is prime
            # q is a new prime.
            # Yield it and mark its first multiple that isn't
            # already marked in previous iterations.
            D[q*q] = q
            yield q

我的猜测是，所有方法的最快都是对代码中的素数进行硬编码。

那么为什么不写一个生成另一个源文件的慢速脚本，该文件中包含所有数字硬连线，然后在运行实际程序时导入该源文件。

当然，这只有在编译时知道N的上界时才有效，但是（几乎）所有项目Euler问题都是如此。

PS： 我可能错了，虽然如果用硬连线素数解析源比首先计算它们要慢，但据我所知，Python运行来自编译的{{ 1}}文件所以在这种情况下读取一个二进制数组，所有素数都达到N应该是血腥的。

这是一种使用python的列表推导生成素数（但效率最高）的有趣技术：

noprimes = [j for i in range(2, 8) for j in range(i*2, 50, i)]
primes = [x for x in range(2, 50) if x not in noprimes]

这是Eratosthenes筛子的麻木版，具有很好的复杂性（比对长度为n的数组排序要低）和矢量化。与@unutbu相比，此速度与使用46微微秒的软件包查找所有小于一百万的质数的速度一样快。 

import numpy as np 
def generate_primes(n):
    is_prime = np.ones(n+1,dtype=bool)
    is_prime[0:2] = False
    for i in range(int(n**0.5)+1):
        if is_prime[i]:
            is_prime[i*2::i]=False
    return np.where(is_prime)[0]

时间：

import time    
for i in range(2,10):
    timer =time.time()
    generate_primes(10**i)
    print('n = 10^',i,' time =', round(time.time()-timer,6))

>> n = 10^ 2  time = 5.6e-05

纯Python 中最快的素筛：

def half_sieve(n):
    """
    Returns a list of prime numbers less than `n`.
    """
    if n <= 2:
        return []
    sieve = bytearray([True]) * (n // 2)
    for i in range(3, int(n ** 0.5) + 1, 2):
        if sieve[i // 2]:
            sieve[i * i // 2::i] = bytearray((n - i * i - 1) // (2 * i) + 1)
    primes = list(compress(range(1, n, 2), sieve))
    primes[0] = 2
    return primes

我优化了Eratosthenes筛子的速度和记忆力。

我在Willy Good的评论中找到了一个纯Python 2素数生成器here ，它比rwh2_primes更快。

yield 2; yield 3; yield 5
if limit < 7: return
modPrms = [7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31]
gaps = [4,2,4,2,4,6,2,6,4,2,4,2,4,6,2,6] # 2 loops for overflow
ndxs = [0,0,0,0,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,5,6,6,7,7,7,7,7,7]
lmtbf = (limit + 23) // 30 * 8 - 1 # integral number of wheels rounded up
lmtsqrt = (int(limit ** 0.5) - 7)
lmtsqrt = lmtsqrt // 30 * 8 + ndxs[lmtsqrt % 30] # round down on the wheel
buf = [True] * (lmtbf + 1)
for i in xrange(lmtsqrt + 1):
    if buf[i]:
        ci = i & 7; p = 30 * (i >> 3) + modPrms[ci]
        s = p * p - 7; p8 = p << 3
        for j in range(8):
            c = s // 30 * 8 + ndxs[s % 30]
            buf[c::p8] = [False] * ((lmtbf - c) // p8 + 1)
            s += p * gaps[ci]; ci += 1
for i in xrange(lmtbf - 6 + (ndxs[(limit - 7) % 30])): # adjust for extras
    if buf[i]: yield (30 * (i >> 3) + modPrms[i & 7])

...在我最近在Win 10上运行Ubuntu的中型笔记本电脑（i5 8265U 1.6GHz）上。

这是一个mod 30轮式筛网，可跳过2、3和5的倍数。当我的笔记本电脑开始用尽8G RAM并进行大量交换时，它对我非常有用，最高可达2.5e9。

我喜欢mod 30，因为它只有8个余数，不是2、3或5的倍数。这使得可以将shift和“＆”用于乘法，除法和mod，并且应该允许打包一个mod 30的结果变成一个字节。我已将Willy的代码变形为分段的mod 30轮式筛子，以消除大N的抖动，然后将其发布here。

有一个更快的Javascript version进行了细分，并使用@GordonBGood的mod 210轮（2、3、5或7的倍数），并提供了对我有用的深入解释。 / p>

这是一种使用存储列表查找素数的优雅且更简单的解决方案。从4个变量开始，你只需要测试除数的奇数素数，你只需要测试你作为素数测试的数字的一半（没有必要测试9,11,13是否分成17） 。它测试先前存储的素数为除数。

    # Program to calculate Primes
 primes = [1,3,5,7]
for n in range(9,100000,2):
    for x in range(1,(len(primes)/2)):
        if n % primes[x] == 0:
            break
    else:
        primes.append(n)
print primes
