Unbounded Spigot Algorithms for the Digits of Pi

Rabinowitz and Wagon call their algorithm a spigot algorithm, because it yields digits incrementally and does not reuse digits after they have been computed. The digits drip out one by one, as if from a leaky tap. In contrast, most algorithms for computing the digits of π execute inscrutably, delivering no output until the whole computation is completed. However, the Rabinowitz–Wagon algorithm ...

Normality and the Digits of π

The question of whether (and why) the digits of well-known constants of mathematics are statistically random in some sense has long fascinated mathematicians. Indeed, one prime motivation in computing and analyzing digits of π is to explore the age-old question of whether and why these digits appear “random.” The first computation on ENIAC in 1949 of π to 2037 decimal places was proposed by Joh...

Unbounded Spigot Algorithms for the Digits of π

Rabinowitz and Wagon (in American Mathematical Monthly 102(3):195–203, 1995) present a spigot algorithm for computing the digits of π. A spigot algorithm yields its outputs incrementally, and does not reuse them after producing them. Their algorithm is inherently bounded ; it requires a commitment in advance to the number of digits to be computed, and in fact might still produce an incorrect la...

Parallel Implementation of Multiple-Precision Arithmetic and 1, 649, 267, 440, 000 Decimal Digits of π Calculation

We present efficient parallel algorithms for multiple-precision arithmetic operations of more than several million decimal digits on distributed-memory parallel computers. A parallel implementation of floating-point real FFT-based multiplication is used because a key operation in fast multiple-precision arithmetic is multiplication. We also parallelized an operation of releasing propagated carr...

Parallel Computation of π Using High Precision Arithmetics

During the last decades estimating π has become a competition and a benchmarking tool. Many different algorithms have been developed and with the advent of high performance architectures it is possible to calculate very large number of π decimal digits. Within the scope of the Parallel Algorithms lecture a parallel library for high precision arithmetics will be introduced and its performance on...
