another example: enumFractalMagTransformsMulti_orderOfTransf, and items like enumFractalMagTransformsMulti_orderOfTransfTypeT1, enumFractalMagTransformsMulti_orderOfTransfTypeT2 ...
they are long but will be no collissions
that was a lot of find and replace, if we want to change the names again, this should now be easier
really fast^^
I just rechecked all cl formula files currently available, all working fine: https://github.com/buddhi1980/mandelbulber2/tree/master/mandelbulber2/formula/opencl
just did a test with packet: https://app.packet.net/portal
They offer 96cores of AMDv8 machines for 0.50$ / hour, was quite easy to setup an ubuntu, prepare for development.
compilation took less than a minute! --> make -j 93
rendering performance is quite descent but not comparable to intel CPU
In the image:
upper part: running of mandelbulber in cli mode for the flight animation
lower part: the output of htop (not showing all cores, since screen too small)
some of the mengers give really nice images, even with the limited opencl engine
To do this release we need to integrate UI functions from perefences dialog and figure out how to compile the program with mingw.
BTW: can i do the refactor of the cpp code right now? there are a lot of header comments missing and some code indentation stuff.
@zebastian , can you take care about UI elements for GPU in preferences dialog? I will work with cross-compilation
I will also add missing DE calculation for pseudo-kleinian formulas
will be leaving tomorrow for vacation, see you soon guys!
Quick question - why use MS Visual Studio instead of MinGW-64-bit?
Would you guys be interested in a CMake build with MinGW-64-bit for Windows?
just wanted to thank you folks for the work you've done.
@buddhi1980 In a few days I finish (I am just checking the transformations, all the rest is done), then I will tell you better what I have changed. Mac is picky on automatic type casting (int to float) and I had problems using constants defined as preprocessor macros (for example using directly M_PI), dunno why. I also had to optimize a bit all the rotations, to make it easier to calculate for the mac. The debugging process is a bit slow and not intuitive. All in all not bad at all (:
@Starmute there is no cross-platform solution to do this. Clents can run on Linux, Windows or OSX. Every system has different firewalls, user autentification, remote control capabilities. But depending on OS which you use, you can use ssh, rdp, vnc or any other remote connection to control running clients.
