I'm looking for Computer Algebra System that could compute numbers larger than a 1000+ digits.Do you know any program/library that can do that ? What is the limit ? Thanks in advance
The best has yet to come because with current technologies and knowledge, we can reach 1.6 GHz. But after that, the chip would melt anyway due to high temperature. 0.1 micron is the limit. Then we could multiply the numbers of processors but it's just a short term solution.
I've heard that HAL computer systems (working for Fujitsu) is working a prediction method to find data before it is calculated to increase speed. A little like the machine O (the Oracle) of Alan Turing.
There is also the MAJC computer of Sun that could be used to build a neuron network (like a machine B) to give more "smart" data processing.
Finally there are also the Quantum Computers that could change everything but that's almost science-fiction

I would strongly reject this kind of signature. First of all, crackers would soon be able to be whoever they want:-( by overpassing some security hole. Secondly it's another step towards the end of privacy. Another way to sneak up in our computers, another way to look how we behave on the Internet, without our permission. Yes, because if we you electronic signatures, everything we buy or do or pay would be easely known in a seconde.

Here is a link that will lead you to several numbers like (Pi, e or the Golden Ratio) and how they were calculated http://www.lacim.uqam.ca/piDATA/
... 206,158,430,000 digits .... http://www.lacim.uqam.ca/piDATA/pi 206billion.txt
Here is a billion of decimals digits of Pi !!!! http://www.lacim.uqam.ca/piDATA/PI/
here is an explanation on they're latest record
A lot of things to explore... and memorize

the number of simultaneous calls that can be carried using 32 colours on a fibre to be increased from 30,000 to millions
That's a lot of calls at the same time. Maybe someday we'll be able to watch digital TV while bungee jumping. But who cares.
Everyone on earth will soon be able to call everyone at the same time (to just talk about nothing).
The world needs the new optical technology
They mean a small part of the world needs optical technology (nerds). :-|
The rest of the world needs water, electricity and food.
Solutions for a small part of the planet. a.k.a IBM's motto

I think it's the best around. It always gets you to the best websites on every subject Altabista sucks: too big ! Yahoo sucks: to restrictive !
Well, the next step is taken towards public portable mp3 Hope they will soon make shoutcast available on it

The main idea of Linus was to bring a new free, powerful OS. And this OS was to be integrated to the GNU.
The right thing would be to call Linux, The GNU !
( Would you call Windows95 Win32? No !!)
