I wonder if the blockchain (or contract?) approach could break the record after combining all that gpu power.

- dcow 8y agoThat’s not quite how it works.
- YayamiOmate 8y agoWhy not? It is. Calculating pi is trivially parallelizable. If you wrote good kernels, calculation distribution could be exactly the same.
- purerandomness 8y agoBut what role would a Blockchain have in the parallel computation of pi?
- berbec 8y agoBesides Block chain being useless for this purpose, calculations of pi are disk io limited at the current time.
- shawabawa3 8y agoBlockchains that perform computation (e.g Eth), aren't doing parallel computation as we think of it. They perform the same computation on every node, there's no way to split up the work between nodes
