That software was an experiment of mine to generate mandelbrot (and some of its cousin) fractals on the CPU. This is my attempt at porting that software to OpenCL so it can be used on a multitude of computation devices, chiefly GPUs. +## About + I had started to port it to CUDA in October 2016, but changed to CL because of its portability and open nature. |
