Description
The precision obtained by distbbp is limited by Java double (IEEE 754 64-bit), which has machine epsilon e=2^(-53). When it is used to compute the 10^15 th bit of π, only 26-bit precision with 99.9999998% confident is obtained. (Will provide the error analysis later.) It would be great if it supports arbitrary precision arithmetics.
