# Final Presentation Notes
## Outline
* definition of complex numbers
* definition of mandelbrot set
* examples of fractals (Romanesco, Sripenski triangle, Menger sponge)
* question: how do we handle recursion in computer science
* we avoid it!
* Mention how when Mandelbrot initially tried to have his computed image printed, the printers kept removing the "dust" thinking it was a misprint
* cpus support greater precision than gpus
* "precision.h"
* linking cuda object code with c code
* c++ mangles names, functions that are to be linked against must be declared extern
* serial algorithm for computing Mandelbrot set
* runtime
* animation where the number of frames are dependent on runtime
* shared algorithm for computing mandelbrot set
* runtime
* unique challenges of the shared version
* benefits gained from the shared version
* animation where the number of frames are dependent on runtime
* gpu algorithm for computing mandelbrot set
* runtime
* unique challenges of the gpu version
* benefits gained from the gpu version
* animation where the number of frames are dependent on runtime
* overall comparison of implementations
