Pi calculation world record with over 202T digits
In an astounding display of computational prowess, the StorageReview Lab Team has set a…
Utilizing a dual-processor AMD EPYC system with 256 cores and nearly a petabyte of Solidigm QLC SSDs, the team tackled significant technical challenges, including memory and storage limitations. Although QLC NAND can be slower than other types of flash memory, the parallelism in these dense SSDs delivers higher aggregate bandwidth, making them ideal for large-scale Pi calculations. This record-breaking feat, utilizing Intel Xeon 8592+ CPUs in our Dell PowerEdge R760 and Solidigm 61.44TB QLC NVMe SSDs, highlights the capabilities of modern hardware to handle complex and resource-intensive tasks with unprecedented efficiency.
