This work follows Stefan Gustavson's paper "Simplex noise demystified"

without using uniform arrays or texture engines.
The resulting noise functions are fast and self contained,
and their performance scales well with massive parallelism.

without using any uniform arrays or texture engines.
The resulting noise functions are fast and self contained,
and their performance scales well with massive parallelism.
While not quite as fast as Gustavson's original implementation
on typical current desktop GPUs, they are more scalable to
massive parallelism and much more convenient to use, and
they can make good use of unused ALU resources when run
concurrently with a typical texture-intensive rendering.
Gustavson's implementation makes heavy use of a texture
lookup table and is texture bandwidth limited.
