The fastest algorithms for calculating floating point numbers to tens of thousands of digits involve Number Theoretic Transforms. But I thought that only a few special purpose program had been written that use them. But I have just found APFLOAT: A C++ High Performance Arbitrary Precision Arithmetic Package. The claims that the author makes for this package are jaw-dropping:
Quote:
A sample program for calculating pi is included in the package. With 128MB RAM and about 700MB free disk space you can calculate more than 100 million digits of pi. Calculating one million digits of pi takes less than two minutes with a 400 MHz Celeron. This makes it one of the fastest programs for calculating pi (faster than the Japanese super_pi program).
If you really need highly precise floating point numbers this package may be worth checking out.
