Supercomputer Applications
Unit #4 Objectives - Chaos and Dynamical Systems
Specific Objectives of the Unit
Students are asked to select one of the Chaos Algorithms presented on the
class web materials for
Unit #4 and then do something creative and original
to create an
interesting, interactive program that utilizes the concept. Mr. Latimer
and Mr. Hyatt do not want any duplicated efforts, so each student should
select something unique that nobody else is doing.
The following objectives will be used to evaluate the web-based
presentation for unit. Make sure
you meet or exceed all objectives, and you can receive a perfect score or
even some bonus points.
-
The student has selected an algorithm related to the study of dynamical
systems and chaos, and has developed an interactive OpenGL application
that provides a user with a tool to experiment with the topic. User
interaction could include keyboard or mouse routines and multiple windows.
- The student has demonstrated originality and imagination in the
development of this application. The use of 3-D graphcs or parallel
programming is encouraged, and students who choose to do enhance their
programs will receive extra credit.
-
The student has created a web page that explains the specific chaos
topic and provides sample graphic images that show the interaction that
is available in the application.
-
The student has provided a link to properly documented computer code
for the Chaos application.
Extra Credit
- Do any programs involve advanced graphics features such as
3-D OpenGL or does it
utilize Parallel Programming in PVM?
- Does any program show exceptional creativity or imagination in the
design or execution?
