audioguru Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi Guys,I found a small program that calculates pi to umpteen decimal places of accuracy.My Pentium4-2.97GHz pc does its 2M selection (click on upper left corner to select) in 1 minute, 43 seconds. With Norton, my anti-spyware and everything else disabled, it took a few seconds longer. My pc's fan speeds-up when the program runs.The challenge is on!super_pi.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi Audioguru,I ran it through my laptop (2GHz) but I did not try the 16 and 32M, here are the results:BTW I didn’t shut down anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted January 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hi Ante,Your laptop is fast. Faster than my pc. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hi Audioguru,Are you sure yours is almost 3GHz? How much RAM do you have? Calculations like this hug a lot of RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted January 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Yeah, my pc is 2.93GHz. Gateway says it doesn't have hyperthreading, but Intel says it does. It came with 512M of RAM. Its hard drive is 160GB and 7200RPM. It burns DVD's very well but I haven't tried dual-layer ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audioguru Posted January 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 It's too bad my 486 100Mhz pc is broken. It would probably fly through the test.When I see my son again, I'll ask where he got the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted January 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I had a peek at the huge file with the answer with 2 million digits following 3.14159...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstevenperry Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 It took 2:22 on my 3GHz HP nx9110 laptop. 1GB RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hi Guys,Mine has 1Gb RAM it’s a Dell Inspiron 9300 running an Intel centrino @ 2GHz it has a separate graphic card with 256Mb. Some laptops borrow memory for graphics from RAM, this slows things down considerably. My DVD burner is also a dual layer but the disks are 9€ each :o, for the same amount I get at least 15 single layer disks. So that’s my excuse for not having tried it yet. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
