This program calculates the Mandelbrot set using a parallelized manager-worker approach with MPI. The computation is distributed across multiple processes, where the manager delegates tasks to worker ...

This assignment is intended to help you develop an understanding of the two primary forms of parallel execution present in a modern multi-core CPU: SIMD execution within a single processing core ...

The Mandelbrot set is — when visualized with some colors — an interesting shape with infinite detail. While the patterns are immediately obvious to the human eye, anyone who’s run one can tell you ...

[Ken Shirriff] is apparently very cool, and when he found out the Computer History Museum had a working IBM 1401 mainframe, he decided to write a program. Not just any program, mind you; one that ...

A gallery of images spawned by the theories of the innovative mathematician, who died Oct. 14 at the age of 85 The Mandelbrot set, which is most commonly represented by the above illustration, ...

Four years retired from Yale, Benoit Mandelbrot, the inventor of fractal geometry, is still trying to teach the essential lesson of his life's work--nature and markets defy easy description. Anyone ...

Benoit B. Mandelbrot, the Yale professor who gave the world mathematical tools to describe such complex phenomena as clouds and the patterns of leaves on trees, died last week at the age of 85. The ...

When it comes to the study of both human nature and the natural world, one must be willing to reckon with the fact that a certain degree of chaos will be present in whatever facets of this planet they ...
