Over on GitHub, [ttsiodras] wanted to learn VHDL. So he started with an algorithm to do Mandelbrot sets and moved it to an FPGA. Because of the speed, he was able to accomplish real-time zooming.

He wanted to delve deeper into the world of FPGAs, so [Mike] figured the best way to do so would be to use one to program a Mandelbrot fractal engine. He started out with a goal of creating a 640 ...

The image of the Mandelbrot set is one of the most recognizable representations of a fractal. But what's behind the entrancing picture? In this interactive, learn a bit about how we generated our ...

Both Julia sets and the Mandelbrot sets have a fractal-like structure in the sense that they are infinitey complicated. Furthermore, if one looks closely at the Mandelbrot set one sees tiny replicas ...

Mandelbrot explored this fractal property of infinite complexity in his work, which was then taken up by a digital animator to create extremely life-like surfaces in his films. This clip is from ...
