我想出一种方法，至少在我的CPU（x86）和编程语言（C / C ++）上比6bits + Cackack + sqrt代码快约35％。你的结果可能会有所不同，尤其是因为我不知道Java因素将如何发挥作用。

我的方法是三方面的：

首先，过滤出明显的答案。这包括负数并查看最后4位。（我发现查看最后六个无济于事。）我还对0回答是。（在阅读下面的代码时，请注意我的输入是int64 x。）

if( x < 0 || (x&2) || ((x & 7) == 5) || ((x & 11) == 8) )
    return false;
if( x == 0 )
    return true;

接下来，检查它是否是平方模255 = 3 * 5 *17。因为这是三个不同素数的乘积，所以残差mod 255中只有约1/8是平方。但是，根据我的经验，调用模运算符（％）所花费的成本超过了获得的收益，因此我使用涉及255 = 2 ^ 8-1的位技巧来计算残差。（无论好坏，我都没有使用从单词中读取单个字节的技巧，而只是按位与和移位。）

int64 y = x;
y = (y & 4294967295LL) + (y >> 32); 
y = (y & 65535) + (y >> 16);
y = (y & 255) + ((y >> 8) & 255) + (y >> 16);
// At this point, y is between 0 and 511.  More code can reduce it farther.

要实际检查残差是否为正方形，我在预先计算的表中查找答案。

if( bad255[y] )
    return false;
// However, I just use a table of size 512

最后，尝试使用类似于Hensel引理的方法计算平方根。（我认为它不直接适用，但可以进行一些修改。）在此之前，我用二进制搜索将2的所有幂除掉：

if((x & 4294967295LL) == 0)
    x >>= 32;
if((x & 65535) == 0)
    x >>= 16;
if((x & 255) == 0)
    x >>= 8;
if((x & 15) == 0)
    x >>= 4;
if((x & 3) == 0)
    x >>= 2;

此时，要使我们的数字成为正方形，必须为1模8。

if((x & 7) != 1)
    return false;

Hensel引理的基本结构如下。（注意：未经测试的代码；如果无效，请尝试t = 2或8。）

int64 t = 4, r = 1;
t <<= 1; r += ((x - r * r) & t) >> 1;
t <<= 1; r += ((x - r * r) & t) >> 1;
t <<= 1; r += ((x - r * r) & t) >> 1;
// Repeat until t is 2^33 or so.  Use a loop if you want.

这个想法是，在每次迭代中，你需要在x的“当前”平方根r上加一位。每个平方根都是2的幂的乘积，即t / 2。最后，r和t / 2-r将是x以t / 2为模的平方根。（请注意，如果r是x的平方根，那么-r也是如此。即使是模数也是如此，但是请注意，对某些数字取模，事物的平方根甚至可能超过2；值得注意的是，这包括2的幂。 ）由于我们的实际平方根小于2 ^ 32，因此实际上我们可以仅检查r或t / 2-r是否为实平方根。在我的实际代码中，我使用以下修改后的循环：

int64 r, t, z;
r = start[(x >> 3) & 1023];
do {
    z = x - r * r;
    if( z == 0 )
        return true;
    if( z < 0 )
        return false;
    t = z & (-z);
    r += (z & t) >> 1;
    if( r > (t >> 1) )
        r = t - r;
} while( t <= (1LL << 33) );

这里的加速可以通过三种方式获得：预先计算的起始值（相当于循环的约10次迭代），循环的较早退出以及跳过一些t值。在最后一部分中，我查看z = r - x * x，并将t设置为2的最大幂除以一点技巧。这使我可以跳过不会影响r值的t值。在我的情况下，预先计算的起始值选取了“最小正”平方根模8192。
即使这段代码无法为你更快地工作，我希望你喜欢其中包含的一些想法。随后是完整的，经过测试的代码，包括预先计算的表。
