No, you can build that same computer for under $2,000 USD. And you're good with overclocking, you can build a stable computer with better performance for under...
Sheer brilliance on the part of Bellard! What always get's me however is the sheer incompetance of reporters who try to "report" on these math records, but end...

I am in process of a much needed update top Stu's Pi Page. Alexander Yee's y-cruncher v0.5.4.9148(fix 1) is now incorporated as the fastest program on my...
I'm in the middle of an 8-gig run for y-cruncher v0.5.4.1948. It seems to be all my computer will do given that it has 1-gig of memory. I've done a 4-gig run...
If you change the "Min I/O Size" setting to 1.0 MB, it will lower the memory requirement. On modern 2TB 7200RPM hard drives, this will probably come with a...
I've completed 4-gig and 8-gig runs using y-cruncher on the benchmark computer for Stu's Pi Page. Wow! Pifast4.4 y-cruncher O^2 (y-cruncher) 559,188...
I think Kondo & Yee's world record is safe from me. What took Kondo 90 days to do with Yee's program, it would take me about 135 years on my system -...

Dear Mr. Gourdon , I have calculated 25 billion digits of pi using 'PiFast43' program.Time taken is 988.91 hours (3560078 secs).However ,when I want to check...
A few days ago was Pi day, (3/14) so in honor of that occasion I wrote a tiny 14 line program that outputs Pi to any number of digits where every digit is...

I forgot to mention that even though this program is run in interpretive python, it is no slouch on speed! The 1-million digit computation for Pi took less...
I just saw the email and it unfortunately removed the critical indenting needed for python to work. So here are the instructions to fix your copy of the...
