Pi-calculator2

From Nanofortnight

This page is the project homepage of the project called pi-calculator2 from René (KillerFox) Nussbaumer. It uses the same algorithms like pi-calculator, but was cleanly programmed in C++ with object oriented styles.

Project purpose

The main purpose of this project was to calculate Pi with many different algorithms and with a very high value of accuracy.

René optimized the whole project for the object oriented styles in C++.

Project download

All of the content is part of a Savannah project (pi-calculator). You can visit it via the project main page.

CVS access

for Savannah members:

export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -z3 -d <membername>@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/pi-calculator co pi-calculator2

anonymous CVS access:

export CVS_RSH="ssh"
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/pi-calculator co pi-calculator2

Rsync access

Savannah also provides anonymous rsync access to get the raw CVS file:

rsync cvs.savannah.gnu.org::sources/pi-calculator/

The original project (pi-calculator) was started by Sebastian Wieseler with some help of Pascal Fricke. Pi-calculator2 was released under the same license as pi-calculator:
