Frenchman calculates Pi to 2.7 trillion decimal places
48 replies, posted
Anyone mind posting all 2.7 trillion decimal places of it?
Unless they find the end to Pi I am not interested.
They actually meant 2.577 billion as (two thousand five hundred seventy-seven billion)=2(point)577trillion, it makes way more sense that way. If SuperPI can calculate 32 million digits in 20-30 minutes on a low end core 2 processor, then a supercomputer sure won't take a whole day to calculate 2.5 billion digits. So yeah, he did break a record, but i wasn't significantly higher than the previous one.
Also, learn to read, people:

It's already been proven that there isn't an end.

Yottabyte is the equivalent of one quadrillion gigabytes.

[quote]A yottabyte (derived from the SI prefix yotta-) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one septillion (one long scale quadrillion or 10^24) bytes (one quadrillion gigabytes). It is commonly abbreviated YB. As of 2009, no computer has yet achieved one yottabyte of storage. In fact, the combined space of all the computer hard drives in the world does not amount to even one zettabyte. According to one study, all the world's computers stored approximately 160 exabytes in 2006.[1] As of 2009 the entire internet was estimated to contain close to 500 exabytes.[2]
When used with byte multiples, the SI prefix indicates a power of 1,000:
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes — 1000^8, or 10^24 Or 2^80
The term "yobibyte" (YiB), using a binary prefix, is used for the corresponding multiple of 1024.[/quote]

He was only joking.

Overkill much?

I heard somewhere that pi is so big, that it contains pi. As well as every other combination of numbers ever conceived.

Imagine a Yottabyte harddrive.
[QUOTE=BackflipHatchetAttack;19552950]Why would you do that[/QUOTE]
To impress the ladies
Thats a lot of numbers. I don't really understand why Pi is so important though.
i hate math... i really fuckin hate math... really

Then I will never be interested in pi. :|

Therefore, he will never be interested

I just rated myself late
I can put a number between 1-9 past that and beat HIS record. :smug:
I read "French[B]fry[/B] calculates Pi..."
:/
cool though.
Shit we'll have to redo the song :saddowns:
