If you want to see an iterated algorithm based on SHA-512, then look at the benchmarks for sha512crypt, Drupal, PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512, etc. It's that simple. No values were "chosen"...
For SHA512 you are right, no iterations.
Bcrypt does use iterations, the example uses 5 so 2^5. I was just wondering why 5.
It doesn't really matter a lot but just wondering
