Use the sample Compute Grid applications as a starting point for implementing your own applications. The sample applications are in the <install_root>/installableApps directory.
The provided samples are:
Control | Description |
---|---|
Zoom in, zoom out | Zooms the current view in or out. |
Pan up, left, right, down | Moves the current view of the image as specified. |
Minimum, maximum real, imaginary value | Precisely controls what portion of the fractal shows. The zoom and pan controls are shortcuts for modifying these values. |
Pixels horizontally, vertically | Specifies how large the resulting image is in pixels. |
Tiles horizontally, vertically | Specifies how many tiles the image is split into for computation. One long-running job is submitted for each tile. |
Maximum iterations | A parameter of the Mandelbrot algorithm that controls the contrast of the computed image. You do not typically need to adjust this value. |
Repeat count | Specifies how often the computations repeat. By default, an iteration of the calculations for a tile takes approximately 0.1 seconds on an average machine. Increase this number to lengthen each job. |
Reset values | Resets the numeric values in the fields. |
Restart computation | Starts or restarts the specified computation. If any jobs are outstanding from the previous computation, then they are canceled. |
Cancel computation | Cancels any outstanding jobs. |
User ID, password | Supplies login credentials. The Mandelbrot application does not have any security constraints. However, the credentials are used to establish user identity for submitting and canceling jobs. |
