There are entirely ("embarrassingly") parallel algorithms for computing digits of . For example, see D. H. Bailey, P. B. Borwein and S. Plouffe, "On The Rapid Computation of Various Polylogarithmic Constants", manuscript, 1996, which is [http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/bailey96rapid.html available via Citeseer]. Also, just because an algorithm appears to have linear data dependencies doesn't mean that it can't be effectively parallelized. For details, see G. Blelloch, "Vector Models for Data-Parallel Computing."
