Brook+ mandelbulb

I decided to get into GPGPU programming after reading the specs for the 58xx series card. My first piece of code is rainbow tab le generator for cracking GSM:

Next I got kind of facinated by the Mandelbulb fractal images, and wrote my own raytracer for the fractal. Sample images are here:

These image are raytraced in less than a second on a 5850 card.

I think this is pretty good, I recently got some speed improvements by switching to a "distance estimate" method of marching the rays, but then again when is fast fast enough ? A second card would always be nice
