Modern formula for calculating Riemann Zeta Function [duplicate]
This article of Gourdon and Sebah 'Numerical evaluation of the Riemann Zeta-function' should be a fine reading about different evaluation methods (the authors may have code and other stuff here).
You should not hope too much algorithmic evolution since Edwards' book : multiple-evaluation became faster but AFAIK the time required to evaluate a single value remains proportional to $\sqrt{|\Im(z)|}$ with the best method (Riemann-Siegel). A method easier to implement and more accurate for small values is Euler Maclaurin but in this case the time will be proportional to $|\Im(z)|$. These methods are all detailed in the first link so good reading !
For an implementation of Riemann-Siegel you may see this link that used some inspiration from Ralph Pugh's thesis that used Edward's book...
Euler-Maclaurin Summation
This was one of the first techniques used to approximate the zeta function ans was in fact used by Euler to approximate $\zeta(2)$. However, this method is only used on the remainder after a certain number terms of the zeta series has been computed.
$$\zeta(s)=\sum_{n=1}^N \frac{1}{n^s}+\frac{N^{1-s}}{s-1}+\frac{N^{-s}}{2}+\sum_{r=1}^{q-1}\frac{B_{2r}}{(2r)!}s(s+1) \cdots(s+2r-2)N^{-s-2r+1}+\epsilon_{2q}(s)$$
where
$$|\epsilon_{2q}(s)| < \left|\frac{s(s+1) \cdots(s+2r-2)N^{-\operatorname{Re}[s]-2r+1}}{(2q)!(s+2q-1)}\right|$$
Alternating Series
The alternating zeta series is given by
$$\zeta_a (s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n^s}=(1-2^{1-s})\zeta(s)$$
Then, by accelerating this sum, we have
$$e_k = \sum_{j=k}^n {n \choose j}$$
$$\zeta(s)=\frac{1}{(1-2^{1-s})}\left(\sum_{k=1}^n \frac{(-1)^{k=1}}{k^s}+\frac{1}{2^n }\sum_{k=n+1}^{2n} \frac{(-1)^{k=1}e_k}{k^s}\right)+\epsilon_n(s)$$
where
$$\epsilon_n(s) < \frac{(1+|t/\operatorname{Re}[s]|)\exp(|t|\pi/2)}{8^n|1-2^{1-s}|}$$
Another, different acceleration gives a slightly faster, but more complicated result
$$d_k = n \sum_{j=k}^n \frac{(n + j − 1)!4^j}{(n − j)!(2j)!}$$
$$\zeta(s)=\frac{1}{d_0(1-2^{1-s})}\sum_{k=1}^n \frac{(-1)^{k-1}d_k}{k^s}+\epsilon_n(s)$$
where
$$|\epsilon_n(s)| \le \frac{2}{(3+\sqrt{8})^n |\Gamma(n)(1-2^{1-s})|}$$
This paper gives pseudocode (pg. 41) for the Zeta function using the Euler Maclaurin summation method and a Mathematica implementation (Appendix D, pg. 57).
