A GoLang implementation to Generate Mandelbrot set Image

Goal

• Understand golang's trace profiling tool and impact of goroutines on performance

How to run

1. go mod vendor
2. go build
3. ./mandelbrot-set -mode seq

Looking at the Trace Profile

1. go tool trace trace.out

Modes

• There are 3 different modes that you can choose from to generate the image

1. seq: sequentially calculate each pixel
2. px: spawns a new go routine per pixel
3. row: spawns a new go routine per row of the image

Other flags

• Use ./mandelbrot-set -help command to know about available flags
