Procedure by Odlyzko and Schönhage
The method by Odlyzko and Schönhage provides an efficient algorithm for the simultaneous calculation of several values of the Riemann zeta function . This is particularly important for the calculation of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function, but also for the calculation of the number of prime numbers smaller than n.
The method was published in 1988 by AM Odlyzko and A. Schönhage and is based on the Riemann-Siegel formula of Riemann and Siegel and the use of the fast Fourier transform (FFT).
