Pi is neato

[rpc64]

LoL that is awesome! We gotta have a contest to see who can keep it running the longest.

How do I count how many digits I have calculated?

 

[dighn]

it's not calculated by ur computer, look at the source code. it's all being transfered from the web site.

the high cpu usage of some ppl is due to other things like downloading/storing/displaying the #s

 

[stebesplace]

I am curious if there is a way to extract the data to have it on other sites. . .wether comes from a text file or not.

IE is using over 100 megs now. :Q

Why bother?

Download Super PI & calculate Pi out to 32M digits if you want.

Obviously there are programs, but to output to the web like this is unique. I was just wondering if anyone could get inside to figure out how he is doing it exactly. . .

Waste of time. There are supercomputers calculating it out to an enormous number of digits right now, there is no way any of us will be catching up to those monsters.

The text files are also available for download from the creators of Super Pi if you'd rather do that.

Ripping it out of an HTML web page would be extremely cumbersome.

Actually, your cpu doesn't calculate anything. You're just downloading a pre-calculated string. I can tell because I'm not downloading anything, but have that page open, and I'm d/l at 200+ KB/s

They aren't actually continuously calculating it... However, I believe that a test for one of the faster computers in Japan was to calculate Pi to the most precision ever thus far... The number is so long that it'd make a 160 GB .txt file (IIRC).

I've got a steady 50k/sec transfer rate goin on with the site.

i got 250KB going (yeah, B like in bytes, not bits) then i cancelled, what is the point, i know that Pi is endeless so?

239 mb for a simple loop, isn't that idiotic, must be a windows programmer...

And compressed it would be 1 mb?

I doubt it would compress well at all, you're dealing with a non-repeating decimal.

That would very much depend on the compress algorithm, like compressed +1 compressed +2 or compressed +1 +2 +3 (num 1? 2? 3?) wouldn't it?

And btw isn't every decimal before the last one the same in any pi extraction?

 

[XZeroII]

Could be using a web service to calc and transfer, but that is HIGHLY doubtful. They are just sending one large html file w/all the digits already calculated.

 

[wviperw]

I wonder what method is being used (RK maybe?). Its also interesting how he managed to get the large red digits going down made up of the smaller pi digits.

A simple engine would be more likely IMO...
