Paul Jobling's NewPGen

A titan, as defined by Samuel Yates, is anyone who has found a titanic prime. This page provides data on those that have found these primes. The data below only reflects on the primes currently on the list. (Many of the terms that are used here are explained on another page.)

Descriptive Data: (report abuse)

NewPGen is a program that is used to rapidly presieve a set of candidate numbers, removing those that are definitely composite. It does this by removing those numbers divisible by 3, 5, etc, but since it works with a large set of numbers (and uses some clever algorithms and fast implementations), it is a lot better than performing trial division on each number in the set. Those numbers which get through this sieve can then be tested with a primality proving program to find the primes.
Versions are available for Windows and Linux.

It can be found here.

Surname: NewPGen (used for alphabetizing and in codes).
Note that the prime search page will not display more than 16,000 primes.
Unverified primes are omitted from counts and lists until verification completed.
