Pi calculated to the 300-trillionth digit — new record set

Pi calculated to the 300-trillionth digit — new record set
The number π (Pi) has been calculated to the 300-trillionth digit for the first time in history, reports tech.onliner.by. The achievement was showcased on the Linus Tech Tips YouTube channel and highlighted by Blocks & Files.

The computation was done using a powerful Gigabyte-based server cluster:
• 9 storage servers (Gigabyte R183-Z95-AAD1) — each with 2 AMD EPYC 9374F CPUs and 1 TB DDR5 ECC RAM.
• 1 compute node (Gigabyte R283-Z96-AAE1) — with 2x 96-core AMD EPYC 9684X 3D V-Cache CPUs (392 threads total), 3 TB DRAM, and 4 NVIDIA ConnectX-7 200 GbE NICs.
• Network throughput: up to 1.6 Tbps.
• Total storage: 2.2 PB, using 32 Kioxia CM6 SSDs (30.72 TB each) and 80 CD6 SSDs (15.36 TB each).

The system ran Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS.

The process began on August 12, 2024, but was interrupted after 12 days due to power and cooling failures. The team restarted from scratch, and after 191 days, they successfully computed Pi to the 300-trillionth digit. The final digit? 5.
