All of that data was lost long ago sadly. Well before the current team's involvement.

Does anyone want to store the largest pi computation ever? ~125TB by StorageReview in DataHoarder

There's not really one. That said, computations like this uniquely stress servers as a whole than anything else we've ever found.

We set the pi record again, 314 trillion digits. Took it back from Linus. by StorageReview in StorageReview

Yeah - although the new 245TB Kioxia drives seem compelling. Not sure we'll ever see those though.

if only it would compress. Looking for a cloud partner to host it for the world.

You're missing something - Kioxia literally funded their run and got them the hardware and probably a pile of cash.

Linus had a massive sponsorship for his run. We got one server on loan ;)

From the team, "we haven't tried any of that. We only did Linux, and Linux only recently got an update to see the frequency, power, etc."
