[π Day 2024] WORLD RECORD Pi Calculation! 105,000,000,000,000+ [105 Trillion] Digits

Kevin and Jordan got serious this year with their Pi day celebrations and abused to power bill to new extremes...
HAPPY π DAY! Jordan, Kevin, and Brian's credit card did something really cool and we took down Google for the record spot calculating Pi! Happy Pi Day
Here we cover the hardware, software and other challenges we encountered finding the largest know digit of Pi in the world!

Amazing video y’all, great watch and congratulations on 105 digits!

[@StorageReview]

Thanks for the support!

[@blaiserobitaille1940]

The gain from last year was AMAZING!!! Keep going!!!!

[@StorageReview]

That's the plan!

Albert Einstein and my b-day as well!

those are some serious fabrics

[@StorageReview]

Fancy NVMe. 🎉🎉🎉

[@DataHoarders]

I would love to do something like this but it would take a trillion years to catch up with the current single 12th gen chip I have…..I do, however have half a PB of storage……sata speed only. 😂😂

[@StorageReview]

Well - you can get there eventually ;) - but there's plenty of other fun records you could go after as well.

[@computersales]

Kinda cool doing this on pie day. 🙃

[@StorageReview]

That’s was the plan. The next record will come faster. 🎉

[@relaxingnature2617]

varatasium channel talks about an unsolved math problem -- mabie you guys should take on that challenge

[@StorageReview]

We’re always down for something like that. ❤

That card is beautiful with the red and blue

[@welshalan]

Why does it need to be flash storage? Is the write not one contiguous stream of digits? I would think it cheaper and just as performant to use a san or with perhaps a round robin storage. I would also think that if one times the calculation correctly, or has a cache buffer... the mechanical drive head on a hard disk wouldn't need to seek, just keep writing, like making a groove in a record or writing to optical media. It's 7200rpm not fast enough to write the data to disk in a continuous stream? How many disks would you need to be able to write the stream in parallel to disks?

[@JordansTechJunk]

It doesn’t, but you’re gonna be going a lot slower and taking a lot more space and power.

我想看正在運算的電腦屏幕

[@igorchudnovsky499]

Is there a way to prove that number is correct?

[@JordansTechJunk]

It’s verified. Check the ycruncher website for the official verification.

[@KingLarbear]

The amount of ram in that system is insane

[@StorageReview]

there's room for even more ;)

[@signintoconfirm6168]

But WHY do you need a petabyte to store 105 terabytes? 900 terabytes of swap? Or just wasted space in a bid to sell solidigm hardware?

[@StorageReview]

Yep, you're correct, it's a massive swap footprint. The drives used in the computation get uncomfortably close to full.

[@signintoconfirm6168]

@@StorageReview Really? 900 terabytes of swap? There is something terribly wrong with your code. Are you using C# or python or something? (This should be straight c.)

[@JordansTechJunk]

@@signintoconfirm6168if you wanna write something better, I’ll run it at scale.

[@StorageReview]

You are missing the 100trillion digit precision of this concept. High-precision calculations like 105 Trillion digits of Pi need more than any concept you are likely familiar with. Unlike standard floating-point arithmetic used in everyday computing tasks, which typically uses 32 or 64 bits per number, y-cruncher needs to store each digit of these enormous numbers prior to final division, squaring and multiplication, requiring a massive amount of memory. Look up the Chudnovsky Pi algorithm and it you should understand.

[@Nootlink]

@@signintoconfirm6168 They are using y-cruncher, and it is written with c++

you spelt world wrong in the title
