Divisor summatory function is a function that is a sum over the divisor function. It can be visualized as the count of the number of lattice points fenced off by a hyperbolic surface in k dimensions. My visualization is of a different conic , one of a parabola. In fact my lattice points are not arranged in a square either, they are arranged in parabolic coordinates. My lattice point counting algorithm is simple enough though.
for k = 0 --> floor [sqrt n]
SUM (d(n)) = SUM ((2*floor[(n - k^2)/k]) + 1)
