+# fractal-gen-opencl
+
+This is a work-in-progress port of my simple fractal-gen software to OpenCL.
+That software was an experiment of mine to generate mandelbrot (and some of
+its cousins) fractals on CPU. This is my attempt at porting that software to
+OpenCL so it can be used on a multitude of computation devices, including GPUs.
+
+I had started to port it to CUDA in October 2016, but changed to CL because
+of its portability and open nature.
+
+Currently in early days.
