MandelbrotC

A mandelbrot set renderer written in C.

• Outputs a file image.png when run.
• Currently limited to 64 bit double accuracy,
• Parallel using pthread. Currently hard-coded to use 16 threads.
• Speed depends on the values of MY_INFINITY and MAX_ITER set at the top of mandelbrot.c.

Requirements

Requires libpng to be installed on your machine.

TODOs

• Implement a thread pool to maximise thread CPU time
• Dynamically determine thread count using get_nprocs_conf()
