<ul>
<li>complex numbers are an extension of real numbers, stemming from the
square root of <span class="math inline"> − 1</span></li>
<li>a complex number is just a pair of two real numbers (x,y) with
different ways to add and multiply</li>
<li>in computer science we model real numbers with a single float or
double, so we will need 2 floats or doubles to model a complex
number</li>

<aside class="notes">
<ul>
<li>addition behaves as you expect</li>
<li>multiplication involves multiplying then distributing, and using the
fact that <span
class="math inline"><em>i</em><sup>2</sup> =  − 1</span></li>
<li>so adding two complex numbers is 2 float additions</li>
<li>and multiplying them is 4 multiplications and 2 additions</li>

<ul>
<li>to compute the complex sets we used an escape time algorithm</li>
<li>in general it takes in a maximum number of iterations, an initial
value, and an upper bound</li>
<li>the escape time algorithm is as follows (read of the slides)</li>
<li>note that each sampled point is completely independent of any other
point
<ul>
<li>this hints to us that the problem will parallelize well</li>
</ul></li>
<li>for most of the sets we looked at, there is a proven bound

diverges</li>

<h2>Program Structure</h2>

<aside class="notes">
<ul>
<li>the translation units are roughly as pictured here</li>
<li>black ellipses are for serial code, color is for parallel</li>
<li>each version of the program fills in an array with the number of
iterations it took the sequence to grow too large</li>
<li>that array along with some extra data is a grid object, which can be
serialized and deserialized</li>
<li>the main fractals unit handles cli argument parsing for the sampling
resolution, fractal type etc</li>
<li>a separate renderer program handles creating images from the
<code>.grid</code> file</li>
<li>the <code>.grid</code> file format is really simple, it’s a magic
number, the grid dimensions, the maximum number of iterations, the lower
left and upper right most points of the region, and then the data</li>
