Interactive Mandelbrot Set Viewer Runs on FPGAs
The Mandelbrot Set is a mathematical oddity where a simple function creates an infinitely complex landscape that you can literally zoom into forever. Like most people, I’ve downloaded Mandelbrot set...

Learning the Ropes With a Raspberry Pi Mandelbrot Cluster
You’ve probably heard it said that clustering a bunch of Raspberry Pis up to make a “supercomputer” doesn’t make much sense, as even a middle-of-the-road desktop could blow it away in terms of...
