FastFractal256

FastFractal256 is a GPU accelerated (GPGPU) application for rendering the Mandelbrot set. It can render using 256 bit precision arithmetic, and can run threads in parallel on CPU, GPU, or both. The performance on a common GPU can far outpace common CPUs, especially at 256-bit precision due to the high arithmetic intensity of this mode. GPUs are known to favor arithmetically intensive algorithms, due to their highly memory-constrained architecture. Only the CUDA API is supported at this time, limiting support to Nvidia GPUs. The high precision capability of the program distinguishes it from previous CUDA mandelbrot renderers, which supported only 32 or 64 bits of precision. A variety of resolutions and anti-aliasing settings are included. A trial version is available, and it produces both images and movies, which are both free to use for non-commercial purposes.
