This algorithm computes π without requiring custom data types having thousands or even millions of digits. The method calculates the nth digit without calculating the first n − 1 digits and can use small, efficient data types. Fabrice Bellard found a variant of BBP, Bellard's formula, which is faster.
The π-calculus belongs to the family of process calculi, mathematical formalisms for describing and analyzing properties of concurrent computation.In fact, the π-calculus, like the λ-calculus, is so minimal that it does not contain primitives such as numbers, booleans, data structures, variables, functions, or even the usual control flow statements (such as if-then-else, while).
A spigot algorithm is an algorithm for computing the value of a transcendental number (such as π or e) that generates the digits of the number sequentially from left to right providing increasing precision as the algorithm proceeds. Spigot algorithms also aim to minimize the amount of intermediate storage required.
The Gauss–Legendre algorithm is an algorithm to compute the digits of π. It is notable for being rapidly convergent, with only 25 iterations producing 45 million correct digits of π . However, it has some drawbacks (for example, it is computer memory -intensive) and therefore all record-breaking calculations for many years have used other ...
Borwein's algorithm was devised by Jonathan and Peter Borwein to calculate the value of /. This and other algorithms can be found in the book Pi and the AGM – A Study in Analytic Number Theory and Computational Complexity .

Once the message has been sent, becomes the process , while () becomes the process [/], which is with the place-holder substituted by , the data received on . The class of processes that P {\displaystyle {\mathit {P}}} is allowed to range over as the continuation of the output operation substantially influences the properties of the calculus.
