Looks very nice! [envy_mode=ON] Trying to read the comment about machine - is that really 2 quad-core Xeons? [envy_mode=OFF] -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
Trying to read the comment about machine - is that really 2 quad-core Xeons?
Yes, it has 8 cores total. When I bought it, I was planning to write Fracton and I knew it would be faster with more cores. Two years old and it's already obsolete. I just read about a new 12 core version that is now available. -- Mike Frazier www.fracton.org

On this machine, which is running Win-Vista-64, I would probably have to start multiple instances of DOSBox to run FractInt within. And as long as I prepared the .PAR files ahead of time, I could split up a very large image into several smaller ones to be combined later. But I have not tried such a thing. When I run FractInt, I use an older machine that basically only has the Win-98-SE2 OS loaded. I prefer the DOS FractInt 20.4.09 version. I have seen way too many discussions and examples of how the "X" version has difficulties and/or differences.
Is the Windows version multi threaded?
No. And there different variations for a Windows version: WinFract http://www.fractint.org/ftp/current/windows/ RT's http://www.nahee.com/Software/FractInt_Setup_21-00_beta-5.msi ManPWin http://www.deleeuw.com.au/
Is there a Linux version?
Yes. Go to the following location: http://www.fractint.org/ftp/current/linux/
I have a new Dell server with quad 6 core processors that is waiting to go into a new instrument but could be diverted at night during development and during the day when installed
I would probably use that machine to create videos using some of the new specialized programs, such as Mandelbulb-3D: http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?action=downloads or Mandelbulber: http://www.fractalforums.com/mandelbulber/ Sincerely, P.N.L. -------------------------------------- http://www.Nahee.com/PNL/Fractals.html http://www.Nahee.com/Fractals/

Maybe you could run multiple DOS VM's and (depending on your VM manager and host OS) have each one run on a separate core. Partitioning out the image would probably require some batch file magic.
Is the Windows version multi threaded?
Don't know, never looked at it. Don't have any Windows machines here.
Is there a Linux version?
Yes - XFractint.

Gee, my fastest machine is a 3400+ (1.8GHz) Sempron. Faster in 64-bit mode than in 32-bit, but nothing your guys' machines. If I add together all 5 of the different machines here, I get 6 cores. Does that count? You guys have bigger hardware budget than I!
but like most machines, they become outdated within six months.
By the time you can actually BUY a machine, it's already outdated. So long as it meets your needs, it's not obsolete. -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
Is Fracton written to run on more than one core, or is it using only one core?
Fracton is multithreaded and uses all the cores you have. It splits up the image into 10 pixel high stripes. Each stripe is processed by a core in a background thread. When a core finishes a stripe, the stripe is added to the image and the core is given a new stripe to work on. -- Mike Frazier www.fracton.org

Cool! Let's retrofit that to Fractint and XFractint now. -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community

Because of the way fractint has been coded, this is a non-trivial amount of work that involves changing a lot of code. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com>

Good grief! And it still took eight minutes to generate that image! Is Fracton written to run on more than one core, or is it using only one core? -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
