/* --------------------------------------------------------------- * Serial pi Calculation - C Version * FILE: ser_pi_calc.c * DESCRIPTION: pi calculation example program. C Version. * This program calculates pi using a "dartboard" algorithm. See * Fox et al.(1988) Solving Problems on Concurrent Processors, vol.1 * page 207.
