This application calculates the mandelbrot set and renders it to the frame buffer in realtime.
It was taken from the original parallella-examples repository and has been rewritten to utilize OpenMP 4.0 constructs. The host part offloads one kernel which spawns a parallel team of OpenMP threads within the device (Epiphany). Modifications to the original code were as few as possible.
Original code: Mandelbrot
