Collatz conjecture test for the Top 16 megaprimes started
We have started to test the Collatz conjecture for the Top 16 megaprimes as well as some of their selected odd neighbors. The results will be published in due course.

Switch to multi-threading for Chebyshev’s bias software
We started to develop a new version of our “4000 Chebyshev’s Bias Tester” that uses OpenMP for multi-threading.
Initial tests indicated that the test speed could be increased 4-5 times on a 4-core 8-thread processor that launches 8 copies of primesieve as a real-time prime number generator.
With the advent of affordable multi-core processors such as 32-core 64-thread AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 2990WX Processor, the ranges beyond 1016 become possible in reasonable time without supercomputers and massively parallel processing (MPP).
10^16 test range reached for Chebyshev’s bias
We successfully reached 1016 test range for Chebyshev’s bias.
All results will be published in our repository and contributed to OEIS in due course.
