I want to release some Benchmark system can be uploaded to any web host and check how good the web hosting is. Pi (Ï') calculations spread widely as one of the most popular CPU benchmark system, that's why I have created a Pi calculator that can get to the accuracy you want.

The function is provided (that takes in the precision value you want) and a brief explanation of what it does differently and a reason why to use it over the built-in function.
