If you want to set a record yourself, the rules are in that link. See the complete list including other notably large computations.

Does not qualify as a world record until verified using an alternate formula. Y-cruncher has been used to set a number of world record sized computations. But it worked, and I'll take it - no questions asked.

In other words, I have no idea what it did or what it found that is so significant. So all I did was run the superoptimizer, wait a week for it to finish, then copy-paste the results into the code. Most of the tuning is automated by a superoptimizer. This may be a bit of a shocker, but I have no idea why the improvement is so large nor do I have the time to investigate. This is far greater than the 1-2% that I had expected. That aside, the new Zen 2 binary seems bring about 10% performance improvement. With no timeline for when the next feature release will happen, I decided to pull the Zen 2 optimizations into the v0.7.8 branch. As such, very little progress has been made on v0.7.9. However, my priorities in recent months have largely shifted away from y-cruncher.

I don't usually add new features to patch releases. Aside from the usual bug fixes, this release includes a new binary optimized for AMD Zen 2 processors. Version 0.7.8 Patch with Zen 2 Optimizations: (March 1, 2020) - Ī new patch for v0.7.8 has been released. This new record continues the recent trend of computations using more and more optimized storage systems with less emphasis on computational power. Therefore, I'd like to congratulate UAS Grisons for setting a new world record for the digits of Pi!

This took a bit longer to announce than usual since the verification hadn't been completed when the media got word of the news.

5 trillion digits - August 2010 (Shigeru Kondo).

10 trillion digits - October 2011 (Shigeru Kondo).

12.1 trillion digits - December 2013 (Shigeru Kondo).

13.3 trillion digits - October 2014 (Sandon Van Ness 'houkouonchi').

22.4 trillion digits - November 2016 (Peter Trueb).

31.4 trillion digits - January 2019 (Emma Haruka Iwao).

50 trillion digits - January 2020 (Timothy Mullican).

62.8 trillion digits - August 2021 (UAS Grisons).

Y-cruncher has been used to set several world records for the most digits of Pi ever computed. Ever since its launch in 2009, it has become a common benchmarking and stress-testing application for overclockers and hardware enthusiasts. It is the first of its kind that is multi-threaded and scalable to multi-core systems. Y-cruncher is a program that can compute Pi and other constants to trillions of digits. The first scalable multi-threaded Pi-benchmark for multi-core systems.
