Mark,
Thank you for the quick reply on the precision. Sorry for missing the
maximum limit of 16 places. I honestly didn't see it, while reading
through the documentation (and that is on me).
On the other issue, I'll look at coming up with a similar, but simpler way
of looking at the issue. Maybe it is normal the same math formula to have
such wildly different performance (e.g. 10X). I guess it would take longer
to multiple 100 * 101 than 5 * 4. I just thought it wouldn't be so great
of a difference to cause a 2 hour run to take 26 hours and the precision be
the same (e.g. 30,000).
Yeah, I know Rexx isn't the right language to be doing major math
calculations, such as Pi . . . Right!??
Take care and again thanks for helping on the precision,
Bert.
P.S. Is there some place where I can read (e.g. maybe a design document or
similar) on how Rexx handles variables internally? I'm asking as my Pi
program is taking ~2.0 GB of RAM at a numeric precision of 100,000. Having
this information might allow me to estimate during the design phase how
much physical memory a design under consideration will use -- before
actually having to code it.
