Launching fractals.dwscript.net
Happy new Year to all!
The fractals.dwscript.net is now launched to host the results of the recent Mandelbrot TeraPixel experiment. It’s a small website to centralizes browser, documentations, links and downloads.
There was also news of a FireMonkey client for the data set API.
And the Terapixel Became Four
The Christmas Mandelbrot Experiment is now nearing has achieved completion of Level 13, or a Four Terapixel image!
This will be the end of the experiment (at least temporarily) as the server is running out of storage space 🙂
A Terapixel Image for the DelphiWebScript Christmas!
As a step up from the previous Mandelbrot Set explorer, I’m running a Terapixel image experience for DWScript Christmas 2013.
This is again on the Mandelbrot set, and involves a massive step up in complexity from the previous version, this one isn’t just server-side computed, it’s “Grid Computed” 🙂 (more…)
Slim Reader/Writer Locks Rock!
I recently posted abut the new Slim R/W Locks introduced with Vista, and how they were vastly more efficient than TMREWS.
Apparently, they’re also more efficient than Critical Sections…
Setting up SSL for DWScript Web Server
MapFileStats v1.5 – Improved DCU Statistics
My small utility that gives binary size statistics from the Map file just got updated to version 1.5
This updates improves statistics gathered and reported for DCU file sizes, and introduces a small speedup.
Slim Multi-Read Single-Write Locks
Here are a few findings on Multi-Read Exclusive-Write Synchronizer from a recent upgrade of DWScript‘s GlobalVar functions.
I ran some comparisons between a plain Critical Section, Delphi’s TMultiReadExclusiveWriteSynchronizer and Windows Slim Reader/Writer Lock, of which an implementation was added to the dwsXPlatform unit.
Random Passphrase Generator
I’ve activated a small random pass phrase secure service based on DWScript Web Server.

DWScript Mandelbrot Explorer (with a twist)
The twist is that the computations are handled server-side, using DWScript JIT compiler, so exploration can be fairly fast and comfortable even on low-powered hardware, be it an iPad, a Smartphone or an old laptop.
