According to the university statement, "the extremely memory-intensive calculation of pi" took 108 days and nine hours, and the efforts not only beat the previous world record but it was calculated 3.5 times faster, the Guardian reported. Asked to get an estimate for the famed mathematical constant pi (), you might do what the ancient Greeks did: Divide the circumference of a circle by its. Massive amounts of memory and fast memory access times were critical for the calculation of pi in the trillion-digit range. Despite this, researchers continue to use the evolving power of computers to push the limit of calculations for the constant. Pi has been calculated to an astonishing 62.8 trillion figures by a team of Swiss scientists who spent 108 days working it up - 3.5 times as fast as the previous record. This makes determining such a number an impressively difficult and time-consuming feat. In 1873, mathematician William Shanks computer pi to 707 digits all by hand.
The scientists behind this result were simply testing the performance of their supercomputer for the purpose of beneficial research. The University of Applied Sciences of Grisons made global headlines by calculating pi to 62.8 trillion decimal places a new world record.
Pi, whose first 10 figures are 3.141592653, is the circumference to diameter ratio of a circle, with an infinite number of digits following the decimal point. However, the lack of practicality in computing pi past a dozen digits never stopped mathematicians from trying to do it. Swiss scientists calculate the most exact pi number ever. While individuals attempt to break records by memorizing pi's decimal points, scientists strive to find its most accurate value using new algorithms and powerful computers. Instead, it is infinitely long and never forms a repeating pattern. Heiko Rölke, were able to achieve this feat with a limited budget, hardware, and human resources. This means it can't be written as a fraction. On Pi Day of this year, Emma Haruka Iwao calculated pi to 31 trillion digits, dwarfing the previous record of 22 trillion digits. Swiss research team High-performance computers. Pi is critical to several basic calculations in geometry, physics and engineering, including the area of a circle (r2) and the volume of a cylinder (r2)h. Moreover, the researchers, led by IT project manager Thomas Keller and center manager Prof. The high-performance computer performed the calculation of pi with an accuracy of 62,831,853,071,796 digits.
