They’ve done it again: Tech publisher continues to break the Pi calculation world record – they’ve nearly doubled the previous record, reaching 202 trillion digits in 100 days and using 1.5PB of SSD storage

Engineers at StorageReview have broken their own world record by calculating pi to a staggering 202,112,290,000,000 digits, shattering the previous record of 105 trillion digits set earlier this year, just in time for World Pi Day (March 14 – March 14).

The previous record, the team’s second attempt, was set using a dual processor 128-core AMD EPYC 9754 Bergamo system, equipped with 1.5TB of DRAM and almost a petabyte of Solidigm QLC SSDs. For this attempt, the team opted for dual Intel Xeon 8592+ CPUs and 28 Solidigm P5336 61.44TB NVMe SSDs.
