y-cruncher is a program that can compute Pi and other constants to trillions of digits.

It is the first of its kind that is multi-threaded and scalable to multi-core systems. Ever since its launch in 2009, it has become a common benchmarking and stress-testing application for overclockers and hardware enthusiasts.

Features

  • Able to compute Pi and other constants to trillions of digits.
  • Two algorithms are available for most constants. One for computation and one for verification.
  • Multi-Threaded - Multi-threading can be used to fully utilize modern multi-core processors without significantly increasing memory usage.
  • Vectorized - Able to fully utilize the SIMD capabilities for most processors. (SSE, AVX, AVX512, etc...)
  • Swap Space management for large computations that require more memory than there is available.
  • Multi-Hard Drive - Multiple hard drives can be used for faster disk swapping.
  • Semi-Fault Tolerant - Able to detect and correct for minor errors that may be caused by hardware instability or software bugs.
