- Method Detail
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Returns:
    
    the name of this sieve algorithm
  - initializeForN
```
void initializeForN(SieveParams sieveParams,
                    int mergedBaseSize)
```
    Initialize for a new N. In PSIQS, this method is called for each thread, so things that can be computed before should be computed before.
    
    Parameters:
    
    sieveParams - basic sieve parameters for a new N
    
    mergedBaseSize - size of prime/power base after merging, before filtering
  - initializeForAParameter
```
void initializeForAParameter(SolutionArrays primeSolutions,
                             int filteredBaseSize)
```
    Set (filtered) prime base and smallest x1, x2 solutions for a new a-parameter.
    
    Parameters:
    
    primeSolutions -
    
    filteredBaseSize - number of primes and powers use for sieving
  - sieve
```
List<Integer> sieve()
```
    Sieve for a new set of x1, x2 solutions.
    
    Returns:
    
    list of sieve locations x where Q(x) is smooth enough to be passed to trial division
  - getReport
```
SieveReport getReport()
```
    Returns:
    
    description of the durations of the individual sub-phases
  - cleanUp
```
void cleanUp()
```
    Release memory after a factorization.
