Sieve of Eratosthenes: From Ancient Papyrus to Modern Prime Power

Two thousand years after Eratosthenes measured the Earth, his sieve for finding primes still benchmarks modern hardware. We break down the elegant filtering method—why you start at the square of a prime, how memory and segmentation unlock huge ranges, and why primes stay central to cryptography. A timeless example of pure logic meeting silicon.
