All you have to do is download a program from this website http://primes.go.pl
and leave it for its own. Site is in polish, you probably won't
understand a thing, so here you have all info.
This program finds how many prime numbers are in a specified range.

It has already been done. See

http://numbers.computation.free.fr/Constants/Primes/Pix/pixproject.html


It
does not slow down your machine, beacuse it has a low priority. It has
also an autoupdate module, which makes automatic updates when
necessary. This program is like Seti@Home project, but it runs all the
time at a low priority, rather than as a screensaver.

A pointless effort.

Please explain what is new in what you are doing. You also need to
explain why doing this work merits granting you a Master's Degree.
You are simply re-inventing the wheel. I am surprised that your
advisor allows it.
