Overview: This study introduces the Turkish Sieve Methodology, a novel approach for prime number computation designed to overcome the memory intensity and modular arithmetic constraints inherent in traditional sieve algorithms. While current literature recognizes an N/3 bit density for prime candidate representation, this method achieves an N/6 bit data structure specifically optimized for identifying twin (p, p+2) and cousin (p, p+4) prime pairs. Key Innovations: Memory Efficiency: By reducing the candidate pair sequences to an N/6 bit structure, the methodology effectively doubles the memory efficiency compared to existing bit-sieve models, enabling the processing of massive datasets that were previously computationally prohibitive. Computational Optimization: The entire elimination process is transformed into an integer-addition-based operation (n <-- n + p). By replacing expensive modular arithmetic (MOD/DIV) with deterministic rhythmic progression and bitwise operations, the algorithm is tailor-made for high-performance CPU and GPU (CUDA) cores. Hardware Awareness: The methodology leverages the parallel processing capabilities of modern GPU architectures, allowing for rapid execution and high-throughput candidate screening. Conclusion: The Turkish Sieve offers a significant advancement in computational number theory, providing a scalable and deterministic tool for researchers exploring prime distributions, twin prime conjectures, and post-quantum cryptographic foundations.

The current version is under revision for submission to a peer-reviewed journal.Keywords: Number Theory, Twin Primes, Cousin Primes, Turkish Sieve, GPU Computing, CUDA, Bit Sieve, High-Performance Computing (HPC), Prime Gap.
