Re: Appearance 6

The following shows how many multi-precision digits were needed to successfully compute the indicated number of pi hex digits when using the LongFloat library in my previous post. I also included timing info for both a real 50g as well as Emu48 running a 50g instance on my desktop computer:

Pi Hex       LongFloat DIGITS  Duration HP 50g  Duration Emu48 
Digit Count  Required          (seconds)        (seconds)
