MandelbrotMiniprojekt

Miniproject for numerical scientific computing Mattek6-4

Included Scripts

mandelbrot_naive.py
mandelbrot_vector.py
mandelbrot_multiprocessing.py
mandelbrot_multiprocessing_n_processors.py

• The naive implementation is found in mandelbrot_naive.py.
• The vectorized implementation is found in mandelbrot_vector.py
• The multiprocessing implementation is found in mandelbrot_multiprocessing.py
• A script to illustrate the time taken with n processors is found in mandelbrot_multiprocessing_n_processors.py

Accompanying Material

For each of the scripts, the output files are included in the folder output with the same name as the corresponding script. E.g. for mandelbrot_naive.py, see mandelbrot_naive.png and mandelbrot_naive.hdf5

Prerequesites

The following Python packages are needed to run the scripts

time
multiprocessing
functools
numpy
matplotlib
h5py

Usage

Modify constants at the top of the script under Initialization to your liking

RE_INTERVAL = [-2.0, 1.0]
IM_INTERVAL = [-1.5, 1.5]

ITER_MAX = 100

TOLERANCE = 2
P_RE = 1000
P_IM = 1000

In the multiprocessing implementation, you can additionally change the amount of processors to your liking

CPU_COUNT = mp.cpu_count()
