Mandelbrot Sample Project for Xilinx Virtex-4 APU platform | ||
Summary Mandelbrot fractal image generator example, single-process version for the Xilinx Virtex-4 APU platform. Note: a pre-built, ready-to-load bitmap appropriate for the Xilinx ML403 development board (with the Virtex-4 FX12 FPGA) has been provided in the file Mand_Download.bit. This demonstration application requires an LCD display connected to the ML403 board. Description This program generates a Mandelbrot set, as described in Chapter 13 of Practical FPGA Programming in C. A sample image is shown below:
The algorithm examines all points in a subregion of the complex plane that has both real and imaginary parts between
-2 and +2. The maximum number of iterations to determine if a given point
converges is defined by MAX_ITERATIONS, which is defined in mand.h. Increase
this value for more precision in the generated output. |
