Abstract: We introduce a fast algorithm to compute the Ramanujan-Deninger gamma function and its logarithmic derivative at positive values. Such an algorithm allows us to greatly extend the numerical investigations about the Euler-Kronecker constants $mathfrak{G}_q$, $mathfrak{G}_q^{+}$ and $M_q=ma{x}_{chiech{i}_0}vert{L}^{p}rime/L(1,chi)vert$, where $q$ is an odd prime, $chi$ runs over the primitive Dirichlet characters $$, $ch{i}_0$ is the trivial Dirichlet character $$ and $L(s,chi)$ is the Dirichlet $L$-function associated to $chi$. Using such algorithms we obtained that $mathfrak{G}_{50040955631}=-0.16595399dotsc$ and $mathfrak{G}_{50040955631}^{+}=13.89764738dotsc$ thus getting a new negative value for $mathfrak{G}_q$. Moreover we also computed $mathfrak{G}_q$, $mathfrak{G}_q^{+}$ and $M_q$ for every odd prime $q$, $10^6<qle10^7$, thus extending previous results. As a consequence we obtain that both $mathfrak{G}_q$ and $mathfrak{G}_q^{+}$ are positive for every odd prime $q$ up to $10^7$ and that $frac1720loglogq<M_q<frac54loglogq$ for every odd prime $1531<qle10^7$. In fact the lower bound holds true for $q>13$. The programs used and the results here described are collected at the following address url{http://www.math.unipd.it/~languasc/Scomp-appl.html}.
