This World Record took YEARS (and a Million dollars..)

When Linus was a young lad, Linus loved using Super PI, a benchmark that calculates PI (who would have thought). Back in the day, he could only calculate 32 million digits of PI, but that was with an old Athlon CPU. Find out how many we can calculate now with the help of KIOXIA (it's a lot). The video covers various topics: 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.
