Tech Talk: (MORE) PS3-related Ramblings
- Presenter: Jonathan Adamczewski
- Venue: Centenary 473
- Date: Fri. September 11 @ 14:00
Last time he rambled about drawing fractals with a PS3. This time, hes rambling about the same thing.
Mandelbrot fractals are embarrassingly easy to parallelise, and while they look pretty, drawing them quickly is not - in the scheme of things - especially difficult. So, because he likes a challenge, Jonathan will be talking about his experiences in rendering the Buddhabrot using the Cell BE processor, on the Playstation3.
With pretty pictures, complex mathematics and platform-targeted program decomposition, this talk will have something for everyone, perhaps.
