In August 1995, the calculation of pi up to 4,294,960,000 decimal
digits was succeeded by using a supercomputer at the University of
Tokyo. The program was written by D.Takahashi and he collaborated
with Dr. Y.Kanada at the computer center, the University of Tokyo.
This record should be the current world record. ( Details is shown in
the windows help. ) This record-breaking program was ported to
personal computer environment such as Windows NT and Windows 95. In
order to calculate 33.55 million digits, it takes within 3 days with
Pentium 90MHz, 40MB main memory and 340MB available storage.
The software is free and the circulation of program is also free!
