CIS(theta), 2016-2017:
April Meeting: Cancelled?
This meeting was cancelled as the students had many other demands on their time such as preparing for their upcoming AP Exams.
So, in lieu of a meeting, I started a RedBubble Store highlighting Computer Generated Art we created on our cluster from prior years. We've had similar stores on Zazzle, Zazzle and DeviantArt in years past. On these sites, you can upload your work and then people who want to support you will by items based on your work like prints, tee shirts, wall hangings, coffee mugs, clocks, etc. We made fractal prints (see above) and ray tracings (see below)!
We will work with sample MPI code next meeting:
InstantCluster Step 7:
Coding I - Quadrature
InstantCluster Step 8:
Coding II - Mandelbrot
InstantCluster Step 9:
Coding III - Mandel Zoom
InstantCluster Step 10:
Coding IV - POVRay
InstantCluster Step 11:
Coding V - Blender
InstantCluster Step 12:
Coding VI - 3D Animation

So, what's all this good for aside from making a Fractal Zoom or Shrek Movie?
SETI Search
Econometrics
Bioinformatics
Protein Folding
Beal Conjecture
Scientific Computing
Computational Physics
Mersenne Prime Search
Computational Chemistry
Computational Astronomy
Computer Aided Design (CAD)
Computer Algebra Systems (CAS)
These are but a few examples of using Computer Science to solve problems in Mathematics and the Sciences (STEAM). In fact, many of these applications fall under the heading of Cluster Programming or Super Computing. These problems typically take too long to process on a single PC, so we need a lot more horse power. Next time, maybe we'll just use Titan!
