We had no idea it would run out. Honestly!” Researchers at Tokyo University, led by Professor Yasumasa Kanada, calculated the value for pi with a Hitachi supercomputer for over 500 hours in April. They were seeking to break their own world record. The Hitachi supercomputer is capable of 2 trillion calculations per second. “We just wanted to get to 1.5 trillion places,” said Kudo. “We intended no harm.” Pi is a number expressing the ratio of the circumference of a perfect circle to its diameter.
