Pi Segment is a distributed computing project held by an university student. It aims to propagandize distributed computing, encourage people to make full use of their computational power and challenge the world record of calculating Pi. There are many popular distributed computing projects in other countries, but there’s none in China. We hope that Pi Segment can change this situation.
It’s also got a nice little credit system…
In this project, credits are a kind of currency, the points for the rankings are workunits finished.
- Everyone starts with 2,000 credits.
- Each workunit downloaded costs 100 credits.
- Each workunit finished and uploaded grants 150 credits (or 120 if it’s uploaded past the deadline)
