Computation of the n-th digit of π with low memory

Pidec implements an algorithm to compute single decimals of the sequence of π digits, using only a small amount of memory.

Build Status

References

This work is based on Fabrice Bellard's paper and his published code can be found here.

The implementation is in the module main.rkt, while its tests are defined in test-main.rkt. The first one is written in Typed Racket, while the second one is plain Racket. Apparently, Typed Racket does not support defining tests in submodules of the same file as the implementation.

Installation

You will need to have Racket > 6.1 installed. Use Racket's built-in package manager:

$ raco pkg install pidec

Usage

Compile the code with raco, and execute it passing a single number, which is the starting position for 10 π decimal places.

$ raco exe bellard.rkt
$ ./bellard 50

Pass the tests with raco

$ raco test test-bellard.rkt
