Abstract: We have calculated 31.4 trillion digits of Pi in 2019 and broke the world record in the Pi computation. This talk will discuss the nature of the calculation, the architecture, challenges and techniques, and of course the brief history of Pi computation. Calculating Pi has been the speaker’s childhood dream and this talk will also explain how the small dream grew to the new world record.
