A multi-threaded prime number generator that efficiently finds and logs prime numbers to a file. Utilizes modern C++ features like atomic variables, mutexes, and condition variables for thread synchronization. The program dynamically adjusts the number of threads based on the hardware concurrency or a custom number, ensuring optimal performance.

# Multi-Threaded Prime Number Generator
This project is a multi-threaded prime number generator written in C++. It efficiently finds prime numbers and logs them to a file.
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- A C++ compiler that supports C++11 or later.
- CMake (optional, for building the project).
### Building
1. Clone the repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/Aydinhamedi/PrimeGen_CPP_Multithreaded.git
```
2. Navigate to the project directory:
```
cd prime-PrimeGen_CPP_Multithreaded
```
3. Compile the project:
- If you have CMake installed, you can build the project using:
```
cmake .
make
```
- Alternatively, compile the `main.cpp` file directly with your C++ compiler.
### Or simply go to the github releases.
### Running
- Run the compiled binary:
```
./PrimeGen_CPP_Multithreaded.exe
```
- The program will start generating prime numbers and logging them to `Prime_nums.txt`.
## Usage
The program automatically adjusts the number of threads based on the hardware concurrency or a custom number for optimal performance. It displays the speed of prime number generation in primes per second.
