What lasts 7 months and ends in 5? A new Pi -World Record calculation

- Linus tech tips and kioxia have lowered the PI -calculation world record
- 300 trillion numbers Pi were calculated using Kioxia NVME SSD cluster
- The seven-month calculation of use ended with Guinness recognition
After Disturbance review Previously, the PI -calculation world record claimed with More than 202 trillion numbersnow Linus Media Group, the makers of the Linus Tech -Tips YouTube Channel, it went even further.
Working with Kioxia, LMG has officially set up a new Guinness World Record For the “most accurate value of PI”, reaching an incredible 300 trillion numbers.
This milestone was reached with the help of a powerful storage setup with CM series 30.72TB and CD series 15.36TB PCIE NVME SSDS from Kioxia.
Seven months and no SSD -Mislukingen
The discs were organized in a NAS system connected to a Dual-CPU calculation server. The entire operation ran continuously for almost seven and a half months.
“We knew that breaking the PI record with distributed network storage would be difficult -nobody had really done it before because of the performance relocations related to external storage,” said Jake Tivy, Writer & Host, Linus Media Group.
“Fortunately for us, the reliability and performance of the NVME SSDs of Kioxia enabled us to perform continuous, intensive calculation activities with speeds up to 100+ GB/s for almost seven months, without a single SSD -Mislukking.”
The project not only broke the previous record, but only did this with a wide margin. Disturbance review‘s 202 trillion number milestone was huge, but it was not officially verified by Guinness World Records.
The last recognized Benchmark from Guinness was 62 trillion figures, so this new effort pushed that number almost five times higher.
“Achieving one Guinness World Records Title for the most accurate value of PI is a huge achievement that emphasizes the courage to take on a challenge and the power of great cooperation and teamwork, “said Axel Stoermann, Vice -President and CTO for Embedded Memory and SSD at Kioxia Europe.
“The successful collaboration of Kioxia America with Linus Media Group made the demonstration of the robust possibilities of our NVME SSDs possible under the most demanding workload. We will continue to promote the possibilities of our Flash memory and SSD technology to support Supercomputing applications,” he added.
The Linus tech tips -channel has released a video in which the effort is documented that you can view below. It also revealed the final figure of the record -breaking result. (Spoiler Alert, the 300 trillion -rigor from PI is 5.)
