there are so many fractal benchmarks floating around, but i’ve never seen any cool interactive fractal applications, eg interactive visualizations that smoothly redraw changes over time, or respond to input.

has anyone seen programs like that?




Look at Taichi at Github. This library for Python seems not very popular and unaware. Maybe, because it is a Chinese development, but Taichi is simple and compiles directly down to kernels on CUDA, GPU, Metal, Vulkan and has batteries included. Beats the fastest Mojo implementation of the Mandelbrot set about 260 times faster. https://github.com/taichi-dev/taichi

Important detail that it runs on GPU.


but the chinese just steal american technology. look at huawei mate 60.

now we're talking!


There is a package for Julia that does this, it's called InteractiveViz.jl [1]. It is rally neat and used GPU rendering underneath with (GL)Make.jl [2].

https://github.com/xaos-project/XaoS is still awesome but could really use a GPU backend :)
