→Assignment 3
This chart illustrates the program's run time comparison through the assignments, going from a serial approach, to a naive GPU approach, to a more optimized approach.
Note that it only includes measurement of the image creation phase, and not the file output.
The original algorithm used doubles to do all of the calculations so the biggest increase in speed was gained from switching from the data type to float.
While this reduced the precision, the end result looked about the same, and extreme precision isn't needed for this visualization anyways.
