    The currently best known algorithms for the numerical evaluation of hypergeometric constants such as ζ(3)\zeta(3) to dd decimal digits have time complexity O(M(d)log2d)O(M(d) \log^2 d) and space complexity of O(dlogd)O(d \log d) or O(d)O(d). Following work from Cheng, Gergel, Kim and Zima, we present a new algorithm with the same asymptotic complexity, but more efficient in practice. Our implementation of this algorithm improves slightly over existing programs for the computation of π\pi, and we announce a new record of 2 billion digits for ζ(3)\zeta(3)
