A different take on finding primes

Out of pure curiosity I would like to compare the efficiency of different methods of finding primes (need not be consecutive). Let me be clear, given 2min, how many primes can you find, they need not be in order or consecutive. I have not seen any examples of this. I am assume the solution is diffe
