Sequential and Parallel Mandelbrot [2] - Colored

Added color. In case you missed the update on the last post, configuration of parameters is now in config.h. The colormap (default QColormap) is messed up. Maybe someone can provide a Tango colormap?


Sequential and Parallel Mandelbrot

I implemented sequential and parallelized Mandelbrot algorithms in Qt for benchmarking purposes. Can be found here. Algorithm parameters as well as image size, number of threads, etc... can be changed in config.h. Build and run: qmake && make -j3 && ./mandelbrot.

Sample output:
Starting sequential Mandelbrot...
Time: 3069
Starting parallel Mandelbrot...
Time: 1234

[Grafeo] Formely OpenGrafik

So, today we've changed the project name of OpenGrafik to Grafeo. Here is my personal repository.

[Grafer] and [Objective-Gtk]

Moved both into http://fredmorcos.googlecode.com/ since they aren't being very useful to me (and apparently to anyone in general) anymore.

Moved!

So, I moved to Austria yesterday to work on my masters and everything is pretty amazing, I like it and I'm happy.

The usual "windowshot" :)

[Objective-Gtk] Going bye bye

The project started because I needed an Objective-C wrapper for Gtk+ to work on my bachelor project (Grafer). Then I moved to using GNUstep-core/FoundationKit and Gtk+ (that was replacing GNUstep-gui/AppKit), but nothing much is there for the latter idea.

If anyone is interested in maintaining it and continuing development in whatever direction they want, contact me. Otherwise I'll move it to http://fredmorcos.googlecode.com/ and close the Savannah repository.

To all my muslim friends

Ramadan Kareem (have a blessed Ramadan) to you and your families.

[OpenGrafik] Progress Screencast 1

Here (http://opengrafik.googlecode.com/files/og-progress-1.ogv) is a screencast showing what has been achieved in the past 3 weeks in OpenGrafik. Note that the rendering artifacts and sluggish resizing are only in the video...

The repository is on http://gitorious.org/opengrafik and it can be cloned using:

git clone git://gitorious.org/opengrafik/opengrafik.git

If you are a developer or an icon designer (that can follow the Tango Icon Guidelines) and are interested in helping, please contact me or Mikey M.

In Peace, but not Resting

I know it is really late, but I would like to express sadness over the deaths of two great persons: Bernard McCullough (also known as Bernie Mac) and Michael Jackson. So, I hope you're not resting, but enjoying it, in peace.

There's no such thing...

...as Christianity in the Middle East. It's bullshit and whack with a mix of fucked up Islamic-like mentality and education. It's a piece of shit closed community where "everybody else is wrong and there's no arguing about it". Fuck it, really.
