15 * Set up the phase limits for the progress report. We do this
16 * by passing minus the phase number.
17 *
18 * For prime generation: our initial filter finds things
19 * coprime to everything below 2^16. Computing the product of
20 * (p-1)/p for all prime p below 2^16 gives about 20.33; so
21 * among B-bit integers, one in every 20.33 will get through
22 * the initial filter to be a candidate prime.
23 *
24 * Meanwhile, we are searching for primes in the region of 2^B;
25 * since pi(x) ~ x/log(x), when x is in the region of 2^B, the
26 * prime density will be d/dx pi(x) ~ 1/log(B), i.e. about
27 * 1/0.6931B. So the chance of any given candidate being prime
28 * is 20.33/0.6931B, which is roughly 29.34 divided by B.
29 *
30 * So now we have this probability P, we're looking at an
31 * exponential distribution with parameter P: we will manage in
32 * one attempt with probability P, in two with probability
33 * P(1-P), in three with probability P(1-P)^2, etc. The
34 * probability that we have still not managed to find a prime
35 * after N attempts is (1-P)^N.
36 *
37 * We therefore inform the progress indicator of the number B
38 * (29.34/B), so that it knows how much to increment by each
39 * time. We do this in 16-bit fixed point, so 29.34 becomes
40 * 0x1D.57C4.
