1.9 KiB

Mandelbrot - Mandelbrot

Description

This sample uses CUDA to compute and display the Mandelbrot or Julia sets interactively. It also illustrates the use of "double single" arithmetic to improve precision when zooming a long way into the pattern. This sample uses double precision. Thanks to Mark Granger of NewTek who submitted this code sample.!
