While spoiler alert they smashed the record, it did take them 75 days to accomplish it.
They discovered a CPU hazard specific to the Zen4 architecture involving super-alignment and its effects on memory access patterns.
The engineers also encountered a critical floating-point arithmetic error within the AVX512 code path of the N63 multiply algorithm.
Ultimately, it took a collaborative effort to get this rig across the finish line.
Was it worth it?
Five more trillion digits of Pi probably wont make a huge difference to mathematics.
For the Pi computation, we were completely restricted by storage.
you’re able to watch the video of the record breaking attempt below.
