The program was compiled using clang++ , icpc (Intel Parallel Studio Compiler) and NVCC for the GPU. Runtimes for the standard clang++ version were extremely slow as the size of the resultant image increased. Compiling the program using the icpc compiler brought in significant changes without modifying any code and reduced runtimes drastically for running purely on a CPU. Using the parallel version based on CUDA improved the runtime massively over the clang++ compiled version and even the icpc version as more values could be calculated in parallel.
