Thanks for this; I’ve been meaning to work through the ‘perturbation theory’ stuff and implement a deep zoom capable Mandel myself one of these years.
What are the options today for doing this stuff on a GPU? The core of these techniques is to have pre-computed an arbitrary precision orbit, right? Does that mean in practice that the reference orbit is computed on the CPU, and rendering could optionally be done on the GPU? Does anyone compute reference orbits on the GPU?
- QuadmasterXLII 3y agoNo one knows how to accelerate computing the reference orbit with a GPU yet- I'm hopeful we'll find a way! Until then, yeah computing the reference orbit on CPU and then sending it to the GPU is the usual approach.
