Description
gcwsieve (and gcwsievecl) are used to create sieve files for a (General) Woodall prime or (General) Cullen prime sequence.
Those software was developed by Geoffrey Reynolds and both part of the package Mtsieve.
Commands overview
Help with gcwsieve -h.
Installation
Create a folder containing the sieve program.
Creating a new sieve
Example:
gcwsieve.exe -s- -b1024 -n2 -N5000 -P1000000000
Parameters:
-s-: using Woodall (Cullen: -s+)-b1024: using base 1024-n2: lowest n-value-N5000: highest n-value-P1000000000: highest prime to search for
After running the file "gcw_b1024.pfgw" in ABC fileformat will be created.
Continuing an existing sieve file
To continue the search call this (from example above):
gcwsieve.exe -P2000000000 -igcw_b1024.pfgw
Parameters:
-P2000000000: the new sieve-depth is given-igcw_b1024.pfgw: the standard output from first run is used as input file
