Came across this website where people donate their CPU time to find the prime numbers.
Was curious about how it works.
Does anyone know of any repo/article which talks about taking this kind of problem and implementing a naive solution in three levels using elixir/erlang
- sequential
- parallel
- distributed
Do share your experiences working with such systems.

Primality checking is simple to do in parallel. Imagine that you want to check number
n = 2**n - 1:2**(n/2) - 1as if number is not prime, then it will have divisor there.dto test against and will check ifn % d == 0true, then you send result to the central server that this is not prime, if you getfalsethen you send that it is potential prime.falsethen you go to the step 2 as long as all potential divisors aren’t tested.
