Storage used for calculating Pi.

Engineers at StorageReview have shattered their own world record by calculating pi to an astounding 202,112,290,000,000 digits, smashing its previous record of 105 trillion digits  set earlier this year in time for World Pi Day (March 14 - 3/14).

The previous record, the team's second attempt, was achieved using a dual processor 128-core AMD EPYC 9754 Bergamo system, equipped with 1.5TB of DRAM and nearly a petabyte of Solidigm QLC SSDs. For this attempt, the team opted for dual Intel Xeon 8592+ CPUs and 28 Solidigm P5336 61.44TB NVMe SSDs.
