This is a project that I made as part of my CSC447- Parallel Computing course at LAU.
It follows a very simple method described in the .docx file section I-2-a, to parallelize the generation of an image of the Mandelbrot Set.
| File Name | Description |
|---|---|
| README.md | you're reading it :p |
| Report.docx | The document I submitted to my professor. It contains almost everything you need to know about this project |
| mandelbrot8.ppm | The output image of a parallelized generation of the Mandelbrot Set |
| serialMandelbrot.cpp | Source code for running the serial implementation of the Mandelbrot Set generator |
| serial_mandelbrot.ppm | The output image of a serial generation of the Mandelbrot Set |
| staticmandelbrot.cpp | The parallelized implementation of generating an image of the Mandelbrot Set with Static Task Assignment |
The code is entirely written in C++.
The serial implementation is standard, while the parallelized implementation uses MPICH for parallelization.
The setup was ran on Ubuntu Server Virtual Machines (find more information on that in the report file!)
- I learned how to create networks/clusters of virtual machines
- I learned how to use said networks to run code in parallel
- I learned how to generate images and use .ppm and .pgm images
