Abstract


This report contains the result from an attempt of creating a distributed system for computing
the digits of π. As this project has been given in the course distributed systems, we are keeping
our focus on the distributed system instead of the mathematics that is used to compute π.
After completing this project, we have created a framework that is able to detect most errors
introduced by hardware and transmission errors. It still has some room for improvement, but it is
possible to use it to do a distributed computation of π.
