Do you have pics of Pi Day Pies? I can't seem to find my 2021 and 2022 Pi Day Pies. The pies have different names in different years so I don't know if I don't have them for some reason or if they are just a different name and mystuff isn't finding it. I would also be interested in buying any Pi(s) I don't have....

Here are Pics of ones I have (that I know of), first pic is actual colors in order from 2012 starting in lower left corner. Other pics changed the color when highligting to get the words of the Pi inscriptions.

Any idea what year this one is?

2017-2020

Nice collection

Although I don't usually miss out on Pi Day, I searched and it looks like there were no pies in 2021 and 2022.

the undated pie awareness pie could be from 2021 or 2022 but could also be pre 2012 when handouts didnt have dates. there actually was a 2011 pi pie but its was a unique sold in a 2011 auction it probably doesnt exist anymore. if anyone does have the 2011 pie and wants to sell please pm me.

edit- fixed wrong dates

No Pi Pies!!! well that is actually a bit of a relief as I was haeartbroken I may have lost them.... +C can you give an affirmative on the date for the undated pi pie?

Culichi.... tut tut tut! Barging in on my pie buying thread!!!

Lol.

But Seriously... looking for pies to complete my collection

I seem to be missing the 2018 pie but you're missing this one:

I believe it's pre 2012 but not sure! It's blue!

Am recommending also a Pithagorean pizza slice and please with formulas, cause many of us forgetting them

thats the pi pie sold at the 2011 auction!
i should have known youd have it hehe is it edible?

chomp ----------It's a blessed Pi

just stocked 23 pies (8 diff years) on my town center vendor cheap

ooh!!! more Pi Pies!!

Anyone find Pi Pies in IDOC? I am still looking to complete my collecion!

Here's how engineers spent 75 days to calculate Pi to 105 trillion digits — just in time for Pi day.

The task was achieved using a dual processor 128-core AMD EPYC 9754 Bergamo system, equipped with 1.5TB of DRAM and nearly a petabyte of Solidigm QLC SSDs.

The team started their computation on December 14, 2023, and finished on February 27, 2024, spanning 75 days. They used the Chudnovsky (1988) algorithm to calculate Pi, and the computation required a total memory of 1.36 TiB.

The journey to 105 trillion digits of Pi – the new record - was not without fresh challenges. The team had to deal with performance-related issues, which led them to delve into the intricacies of parallel computing and hardware interactions. They discovered a CPU hazard specific to the Zen4 architecture involving super-alignment and its effects on memory access patterns.

Jordan Ranous noted, “The run to 105 trillion digits of Pi was much more complex than we expected. Upon reflection, we should have expected to encounter new issues; after all, we’re completing a computation that had never been done before. But with the 100 trillion computation completed with a much more “duct tape and chicken wire” configuration, we thought we had it made. Ultimately, it took a collaborative effort to get this rig across the finish line.”

Ranous says, “While we rejoice with our partners in this record-breaking run, we must ask, “What does this even mean?” Five more trillion digits of Pi probably won’t make a huge difference to mathematics. Still, we can draw some lines between computational workloads and the need for modern underlying hardware to support them. Fundamentally, this exercise reflects that the proper hardware makes all the difference, whether an enterprise data center cluster or a large HPC installment. For the Pi computation, we were completely restricted by storage. Faster CPUs will help accelerate the math, but the limiting factor to many new world records is the amount of local storage in the box.”

Yes, image please, i would like to count those numbers, to check aren't computer mistaken somewhere
