Welcome to FractalEcho.comI received an Internal GPU Error message.
FractalEcho pushes the limits of both mobile devices and desktop computers to bring you extreme math for fractals. In doing so we have come upon a shortcoming in the underlying operating system. We are working with Apple to resolve this issue.
This issue has been seen with the Apple M series Max and Ultra processors. Macs with Intel processors do not appear to be effected. The issue is more apparent when simultaneously running other apps that also use the GPU when FractalEcho is calculating.
You can help by reporting this issue to Apple and letting them know it effects you. The cause originates when two or more apps attempt to use the GPU simultaneously and the operating system is not handling the requests correctly. This can includes video playback or other finder activities.
My computer / iPhone / iPad gets warm while calculating new images. Is this a problem?
FractalEcho is a high-performance application that performs intricate mathematical calculations to generate fractals. Desktop computers and laptops should be able to handle this workload without any problems due to their cooling mechanisms, including fans and internal temperature monitors that prevent overheating. Mobile devices, lacking fans, should be allowed to cool down if temperatures get hot to the touch. If they do become excessively warm, they will automatically shut themselves down for a cooling period.
Do not overheat your device. Allow it to cool if it becomes hot to the touch.
FractalEcho is available on the AppStore.
