How deeply sieved and choice of exponents
 

I noticed instead of a large range of k values, the list I am crunching right now has a few small ks and a wide range of even exponents.

I am wondering how deeply this file was sieved, and what program can generate multiple exponents? I have only seen a fixed-exp-multiple-k prime siever.

Thanks in advance.

All exponents are not even, there are both even and odd ones. Please check again the results you already enclosed.
The sieving depth of test files is given in the first post: 70P = 7E16.

Regarding sieving software, almost all of them can generate multiple exponents: NewPGen (fixed k), srsieve, psieve. However, fixed-exp sieving is faster.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply they were all even, just a "wide range of them" were. I've only sieved on odd powers with fixed exponents, so I was not used to seeing them.

Wow! 70,000,000,000,000,000? Isn't that 70 Quadrillion? What does the P stand for?

I didn't know that about NewPGen, thanks. I'll check it out.

It stands for Peta which is the SI unit for 1e15. So 1 Petabyte = 1000 Terabytes.

Ahh, I see, thanks.
