Supercomputer Applications
First Unit - Part #1
by D.W. Hyatt
Evaluation by Objectives:
The following are the objectives that will be used to evaluate the web-based
presentation for the first part of UNIT #1. Make sure
you meet or exceed all objectives, and you can receive a perfect score or
even some bonus points.
- PHP and Iteration
- The basic program gathers input data in a form and sends it to a PHP page
that displays iteration values for the logistic difference equation.
-
The program allows users to to select a second equation to iterate
through some sequence of values input through a form.
-
When the PHP program runs, the display is attractive and the format to
display the results makes it is easy to understand what happened.
-
The web page describing this portion of UNIT #1 explains briefly about
iteration, bifurcation and other concepts that might be involved.
-
The main web page about UNIT #1 has a link to the actual PHP program on
iteration as well as links to the the source code of the program pages?
- OpenGL Programming -
First Program: Basic Window
-
The basic window program displays an interesting mathematical
function in OpenGL.
-
The graphic display includes text labeling the axes and also
tells what equation is being drawn.
-
The display is attractive and uses some of the special features of
OpenGL such as different colors other than ones used in the example.
-
There is a thumbnail graphic of the display on the web page that
links to a larger image.
-
There is a link from the web-page to a C++ program that generates
the image. The code is properly documented, of course!
- Extra Credit
- Do any programs involve advanced features of OpenGL or PHP that have gone
far beyond what was required in this course?
- Does any program show exceptional creativity or imagination in their
design or execution?
