The passing of Paul Allen this week reminded me of his message from some years ago:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.sys.pdp10/VlOZfsIdfN8 so I decided to release one small program, which I wrote when I was a system admin on our University's DECsystem-10. It's available on Github: https://github.com/mrihtar/SuperPI-for-TOPS-10 It's written in MACRO-10 assembler and calculates number PI to N decimal places. When running on the original machine (KL 10-E with 2 MW), it *really* slowed down the whole machine for several hours, so I could run it only once. Now on SIMH PDP-10 it finishes in few minutes. If you have suggestions how to improve the program (besides changing the formula), please create the pull request, although I might not respond right away. After all, it took me 31 years to publish the program ;-) Matjaz _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
