Database utilizing Pi as the storage medium
Using BBP formula
Treat data in as hexidecimal/base-16 data
Support opening in read/ write mode? Read would only need BBP alg to read, write would benefit from pre-processing digits of pi.
This would block the stored data, with a configurable block size. (possibility of no blocking?)
Pre-processing would include finding locations in Pi of all possible values of the block size. Block size would need to be large enough to benefit space-wise, but too big could prove computationally prohibitive. Pre-processing would store in /tmp/piDB/, could have one file for each block size desired
Would be a key-value store, where the key would be a name/ id, and the value would be a series of block data locations
Uses GMP Library:
