Simplex Noise for OSL part 2: turbulence

In this article a small update on my previous implementation of Simplex Noise for OSL: an extra feature to add turbulence in the form of fractional brownian motion (fBM) to the noise

Fractional Brownian Motion

In a previous article I showed how to implement 2, 3 and 4 dimensional simplex noise in OSL. In this article I show how this shader can be augmented with fractional brownian motion. Examples for 1 (= unperturbed noise), 2 and 3 octaves are shown here:
The code shown below isn't much altered from the previous version except for a loop around the core noise generation to add and scale additional octaves of noise. The shader node it creates gets extra input sockets for octaves, lacunarity and H which have the same meaning as in the regular Perlin implementation of fBM enhanced noise.

/*
* A speed-improved simplex noise algorithm for 2D, 3D and 4D in OSL.
*
* Based on example Java code by Stefan Gustavson (stegu@itn.liu.se).
* Optimisations by Peter Eastman (peastman@drizzle.stanford.edu).
* Better rank ordering method by Stefan Gustavson in 2012.
*
* This could be speeded up even further, but it's useful as it is.
*
* OSL port Michel Anders (varkenvarken) 2013-02-04
* original comment is is left in place, OSL specific comments
* are preceded by MJA
*
* This code was placed in the public domain by its original author,
* Stefan Gustavson. You may use it as you see fit, but
* attribution is appreciated.
*
* 2013-02-09 (varkenvarken) added fBM turbulence (Octaves)
