Researchers in Japan have calculated pi to over 2.5 trillion decimal places, more than double the previous world record set in 2002.
Led by University of Tsukuba professor Daisuke Takahashi, the research team performed the calculation using a massive parallel processing (MPP) supercomputer called the T2K Tsukuba System, which consists of 640 high-performance computers clustered together to achieve processing speeds of 95 teraflops (95 trillion floating-point operations per second). The supercomputer calculated pi to 2,576,980,377,524 decimal places in 73 hours 36 minutes.
By comparison, it took the previous record holders about 600 hours to perform their calculation (over 8 times longer than it took the T2K Tsukuba System). The previous record was set in 2002 when researchers from Hitachi and the University of Tokyo calculated pi to a little over 1.2 trillion decimal places.
The University of Tsukuba researchers, whose stated primary objective was to test the reliability and speed of their supercomputer, have submitted their results to the Guinness Book of World Records for official recognition.

Weird. That display of pi goes wrong after the 8th decimal.

Yes you're right, that's funny:)
[]Hrcho
hehe.. thats really funny.. how could that happen.

maybe old picture?

bump =p
[]whats the matter? no comment yet about the PI picture up top being wrong? ^^

I've calculated 10 trillion decimal places, with my intel 486, 16 mb ram, 500 mb hd. It took only two months of work.
here is first ten decimals
1415926535...
and last ten decimals
...1234567890
Disculpen si mi ingles no es muy bueno, es que apenas si se escribir en español.

I believe the Spacial Universe is Spherical (like a bubble) and the radii could be
1 trillion light years; the Physical Materical universe is elipsoidal; according to keplers
law the planets orbit the Sun like so.
Since the Spacial Universe is a like a Transparent Bubble created from GOD (or ALLAH)
then this Spherical spacial geometry shows evidence of ORDER : KAOS.
The Bubble or Spheroid shows evidence of ORDER (1st Geometry)
But in order to to produce a circle or spheroid mathematically, you need the
constant PI.
The constant PI = 3.14159 ... is an irrational number (no pattern at all to the inifinite decimal place. THIS SHOWS EVIDENCE OF KAOS in the Universe that GOD created.
It is funny how they used this supercomputer to try to find a pattern to figure out KAOS;
to 2.5 Trillionith decimal place.
THEY WILL NEVER ACHIEVED IT; for it would take them to infinity to find the answer;
and infinity has no end.
I favor ORDER; but I love KAOS.
But I think when God created the VOID or spacial universe; ORDER AND KAOS
are obviously both need 50 : 50 Ratio and the Universe tends to equalibrium.
But I favour Order over kaos because of cosmic laws in the Universe for use of POWER.
Hekate told me she favours ORDER = 94 : KAOS = 6 because man's # is 6.
Mine (Alex) ; ORDER = 62 : KAOS =38
a friend of mine RUS favour ; ORDER = 60 : KAOS = 40
PAN GOD FAVOURS KAOS; KAOS = 54 : ORDER = 46
I assume or think GOD who created space would have
ORDER = 51 : KAOS = 49 ; cause one rule UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!
Spirit of Love.
Thanks for taking the time to read and consider my theories.
