deca-mandelbrot

The Terasic DECA board as a mandelbrot accelerator. This is a hobby project to explore parallel computation/pipelining on a FPGA.

current status

working: two 72 bit fixed point mandelbrot 3 cores run at 60 MHz
still needs improvement: better resource usage, pipelining, more efficient USB data transfer
very rough client app with hardwired parameters
produces beautiful images:
