Swiss researchers make clear recent represent for real pi figure

Swiss researchers stated Monday they’d calculated the mathematical fixed pi to a brand recent world-represent diploma of exactitude, hitting 62.8 trillion figures the use of a supercomputer.

“The calculation took 108 days and 9 hours” the use of a supercomputer, the Graubuenden College of Applied Sciences stated in a statement.

Its efforts occupy been “almost twice as like a flash as the represent Google put the use of its cloud in 2019, and 3.5 instances as like a flash as the old world represent in 2020”, in holding with the university’s Centre for Records Analytics, Visualisation and Simulation.

Researchers are awaiting the Guinness E-book of Records to certify their feat, until then revealing simplest the final ten digits they calculated for pi: 7817924264.

The old world-represent pi calculation had finished 50 trillion figures.

Pi represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, with a broad number of digits following the decimal level.

Researchers on the opposite hand proceed to push calculations for the fixed—whose first 10 figures are 3.141592653—ever extra the use of highly efficient computers.

The Swiss group stated that the skills they built up calculating pi is prone to be applied in assorted areas admire “RNA diagnosis, simulations of fluid dynamics and textual diagnosis”.
