Beyond multi-core parallelism: faster Mandelbrot with SIMD

What do you do when computation is too expensive? Recently I’ve had a brilliant business idea: Mandelbrot-as-a-Service! Instead of companies calculating their own fractals, I will do it for them, freshly calculated in the cloud, with no work on their part. And by using cloud computing, I will be able to scale to the no-doubt vast number of customers who will be paying for my ingenious new service. I have two goals: Speeding up results: The faster I can return […]
