Mandelbrot on a Grid

Sun, 09 Nov 2003 23:59:59 -800

jGrid is now up to v0.53! Premiering with this release is a distributed
Mandelbrot set plotting program! Take a look at my poorly-colored image
here. Like the
other example programs, the Mandelbrot plotter splits the process of
drawing the fractal into a bunch of smaller chunks (256x256, currently)
and sends those jobs out for processing. When the jobs come back, the
results are stitched together into the final image. See
jGrid, the lightweight grid package
that makes this all possible.
