StorageReview Calculates 314 Trillion Digits Of Pi
5.2
StorageReview announced on March 14 that its team computed 314 trillion decimal places of pi using a single Dell PowerEdge R7725 server. The run used dual AMD EPYC CPUs, 1.5 TB RAM, 40 NVMe drives (34 active), and y-cruncher over about 110 days, achieving roughly 280 GB/s bandwidth and consuming 4,305 kWh. The result serves as a reliability and storage throughput benchmark.
Key Points
- 1Computed 314 trillion digits of pi on a single Dell R7725 server over about 110 days
- 2Demonstrated storage and reliability limits using direct NVMe over PCIe and 280 GB/s bandwidth
- 3Indicates design strategies for efficient high-throughput computation and reduced energy per result
Scoring Rationale
Clear hardware benchmark and energy metrics, but single-source record with limited broader scientific novelty.
