Ephemeral is a screen saver that draws animated IFS fractals, giving an ever-changing display of complex, natural shapes. It uses OpenCL (a new feature of OS X introduced with Snow Leopard) to harness the power of your GPU to efficiently perform the IFS calculations. This screen saver is an evolution of my Windows-only Ephemera screen saver that I first released way back in 1997.
Requirements: OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and a GPU compatible with OpenCL (Ephemeral will tell you if it isn’t).
