Want to break the geekiest world record of them all? Here's how engineers spent 75 days to calculate Pi to 105 trillion digits — just in time for Pi day

Storage for calculating Pi.

Engineers at StorageReview decided to do something incredibly geeky for this year’s Pi day (March 14 - 3/14) – beat their own record for calculating Pi. Considering that the previous record, achieved last year, was 100 trillion digits, the challenge was no mean feat. While – spoiler alert – they smashed the record, it did take them 75 days to accomplish it.

The task 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.
