Feature #16468: Switch to Miller-Rabin for Prime.prime?
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16468#change-84320
* Author: steveb3210 (Stephen Blackstone)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
The miller-rabin algorithm is a non-deterministic primality test, however it is known that below 2**64, you can always get a deterministic answer by only checking a=[2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23, 29, 31, 37]
Given that Prime.prime? would never respond in a reasonable amount of time for larger numbers, we can gain much more utility and performance by switching..
