	Yasumasa Kanada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Yasumasa Kanada (金田康正) is a Japanese mathematician most known for his numerous world records over the past two decades for calculating digits of π.
		Kanada is a professor in the Department of Information Science at the University of Tokyo in Tokyo, Japan.
		As of 2003, Kanada held the world record calculating the number of digits in the decimal expansion of pi – exactly 1.2411 trillion digits.

	Encyclopedia: Yasumasa Kanada
		Computer scientist Yasumasa Kanada and his coworkers at the University of Tokyo Information Technology Center have now succeeded in computing 1,241,100,000,000 decimal digits of pi, smashing their own previous world record of 206,158,430,000 digits, set in 1999.
		Kanada estimates that if the new version of the algorithm had been applied in 1999 to compute 206 billion digits of pi, the total calculation time on the same computer would have been cut from 83 to 38 hours.
		Kanada has started to analyze the statistical distribution of the digits of pi and posted preliminary results at http://www.super-computing.org/pi-decimal_current.html.

		Yasumasa Kanada and nine other researchers at the Information Technology Centre at Tokyo University calculated the value for pi with a Hitachi supercomputer over 400 hours in September, project team member Makoto Kudo said.
		Kanada's team spent five years designing the program used in the September experiment, Kudo said.The supercomputer is capable of two trillion calculations per second, or twice as fast as the one used for the current Guinness record calculation.
		Pi, usually given as 3.14, is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle and has an infinite number of decimal places.Such an extremely precise calculation of the figure isn't necessary for any practical scientific use, but researchers say it contributes to improving scientific calculation methods.

		Kanada's most recent computation required 6 hours on a new supercomputer manufactured by Hitachi.
		However, for Kanada and other computer experts, computing pi is one way to test the speed and accuracy of new computers and to compare different computers.
		To achieve that level, he says, he needs a computer with a greatly expanded main memory for storing the results of intermediate steps in the computation and a faster means of sending data to and from the computer.

		The race continued desultorily, through hundreds of thousands of digits, until 1981, when Yasumasa Kanada, the head of a team of computer scientists at Tokyo University, used a NEC supercomputer, a Japanese machine, to compute two million digits of pi.
		A year after that, in 1987, Yasumasa Kanada and his team got a hundred and thirty-four million digits of pi, using a NEC SX-2 supercomputer.
		Kanada and his team were a little surprised to learn of unknown competition operating in American cyberspace, and they got on a Hitachi supercomputer and ripped through five hundred and thirty-six million digits, beating the Chudnovskys, setting a new world record, and seeing nothing.

		In 1983 bijvoorbeeld berekenden Yasumasa Kanada en Yoshiaki Tamura met behulp van een HITAC M-280H computer pi tot op 10.013.394 cijfers achter de komma.
		De bijna eindeloze berekening, vertelde Kanada destijds, had alleen nog maar nut om de prestaties van een computer of de kwaliteit van een programma te testen.

		Yasumasa Kanada, the brothers' pi rival at Tokyo University, uses a Hitachi S-820/80 supercomputer that is believed to be considerably faster than a Cray Y-MP8, and it burns close to half a million watts — half a megawatt, practically enough power to melt steel.
		The brothers had temporarily ditched their chief competitor, Yasumasa Kanada — a pleasing development when the brothers considered that Kanada had access to a half-megawatt Hitachi monster that was supposed to be faster than a Cray.
		Kanada reacted gracefully to the Chudnovskys' achievement, and he told Science News that he might be able to get at least a billion and a half digits of pi if he could obtain enough time on a Japanese supercomputer.
