FPGA Mandelbrot fractal engine

by Laura Domela

Mike Field first read the original Mandilbrot article in Scientific American (August 1985) while studying programming, and even coded it on a Commodore VIC20 in CBM basic. Since then he’s often returned to the project to try out new technologies.

He wanted to dive deeper into the world of FPGAs and decided to use an FPGA to program a Mandelbrot fractal engine. He started out with a goal of creating a 640×480 Mandelbrot display, but over time, he found that he could push his Nexus 2 FPGA to 800×600. But he didn’t stop there. via Hackaday
