The $1,000,000 PC set a WORLD RECORD

Linus reminisces about his early days using Super PI, a benchmark that calculates π. Back then, he could only compute 32 million digits of π on an old Athlon CPU. With the help of KIOXIA, the new $1,000,000 PC can calculate far more digits, setting a world record. The video walks through the journey, the hardware, the tuning, and the results. 0:00 Intro 1:47 How did we get here? 2:28 The hardware 5:07 Looking at the compute node 6:52 Some WEKA trickery was needed 8:35 We gotta tune it 9:42 How fast does she go 10:40 Survey says, very fast 11:58 KIOXIA SSDs ROCK 12:45 y-cruncher go time 14:30 Back to August 1, 2024 16:43 Let's look at some logs 17:30 How long will the record be safe for? 17:52 Linus with the real talk 18:04 It's all about the journey 18:55 Outro
