Features
  • Solver loop using Parallel.For
  • Zoom/pan in WPF window (use the mouse wheel or A/Z keys to zoom)
  • Reports the time used to calculate the last frame
  • Change maximum number of iterations
  • Console application for profiling

The algorithm

int Solve(double x0, double y0, int maxIterations) {
  int iteration = 0;
  double x = 0;
  double y = 0;
  while (x * x + y * y <= 4 && iteration < maxIterations) {
    double xtemp = x * x - y * y + x0;
    y = 2 * x * y + y0;
    x = xtemp;
    iteration++;
  }
  return iteration;
}


Requirements
  • Visual Studio 2010
  • .NET 4.0
