DEPP

• 

  20-Minute Simulation (Solutions up to a, b = 262144, 200x200 calculations per pixel)

• 

  8-Hour Simulation (Solutions up to a, b = 1048576, 256x256 calculations per pixel)

Inspiration

Just came up with a random idea after being defeated for a while about stuff.

What it does

Takes a simple diophantine equation (x^2 + y^2 = z^2) and finds solutions, then plots them to a greyscale image.

How we built it

Wrote it in C#, Visual Studio 2015. Originally was going to work in C++ but noticed no discernable performance difference so went with the easier C#.

Challenges we ran into

Optimization, threading.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The threading was quite difficult to pin down :P

What we learned

How to do some basic image manipulation in C#, other C# control structures

What's next for DEPP

Probably just longer-term simulations to get larger images with a larger set of solutions, maybe some different diophantine equations. Further optimization.
