15.5. Distributed Execution Example
In this example, parallel distributed execution is used to approximate the value of Pi (π)
- As shown below, the area of a square is:Area of a Square (S) = 4r 2
- The following is an equation for the area of a circle:Area of a Circle (C) = π x r 2
- Isolate r 2 from the first equation:r 2 = S/4
- Inject this value of r 2 into the second equation to find a value for Pi:C = Sπ/4
- Isolating π in the equation results in:C = Sπ/44C = Sπ4C/S = π
Figure 15.1. Distributed Execution Example
If we now throw a large number of darts into the square, then draw a circle inside the square, and discard all dart throws that landed outside the circle, we can approximate the C/S value.
The value of π is previously worked out to 4C/S. We can use this to derive the approximate value of π. By maximizing the amount of darts thrown, we can derive an improved approximation of π.
In the following example, we throw 10 million darts by parallelizing the dart tossing across the cluster:
