Multi-threaded Buddhabrot fractal rendering in C++ for 16 bit/channel post-processing
I’ve written the major part of this Buddhabrot rendering program in last August, and after a six months break I carried on with it again this weekend to close the project finally. But before going into details, let`s see what it does:
Threading events and Intel Building Blocks
The Intel Threading Building Blocks library (TBB) is a useful cross-platform C++ library, which contains many high and low level tools for developing multi-threaded applications. One feature I required but couldn’t find in TBB is a class similar to AutoResetEvent in the .NET framework. That class allows simple synchronization of two threads. One of them is waiting the event to be triggered, while the other triggers the event at a point. I have implemented this class in C++, using atomic operations from TBB, which guaranties that if the two threads are running on different cores, then their caches get synced
