    Description: The quartically convergent numerical algorithm developed by Borwein and Borwein (1987) for 1/pi is implemented via a prime-modulus-transform multiprecision technique on the NASA Ames Cray-2 supercomputer to compute the first 2.936 x 10 to the 7th digits of the decimal expansion of pi. The history of pi computations is briefly recalled; the most recent algorithms are characterized; the implementation procedures are described; and samples of the output listing are presented. Statistical analyses show that the present decimal expansion is completely random, with only acceptable numbers of long repeating strings and single-digit runs.
