Tips

The following tips will help you to use network calculations effectively.

G     

Network calculations work best with images that are slow to calculate. Especially 

deep 

zoomed

 fractals will benefit. If the fractal calculates relatively quickly, the network 

communication overhead can sometimes outweigh the extra calculation speed.

G     

Large images do not necessarily benefit more from network calculations than small images.

G     

Connect to local computers rather than to computers on the Internet if you can help it, 

because the communication overhead is likely to be much smaller on a local network (LAN). 

On a LAN, use 100 Mbps or Gpbs Ethernet instead of 10 Mbps.

G     

If you can, avoid using a personal firewall because it might make the network calculations 

less efficient.

G     

Try to connect to remote computers that are roughly as fast as your own computer. It does 

not help much to connect to slower computers.
