GPU Mandelbrot Set 🖥️

This notebook renders the Mandelbrot set using WebGPU compute shaders, with an automatic CPU fallback for browsers without WebGPU support.

The GPU version runs a WGSL compute shader that evaluates each pixel in parallel on the GPU, delivering massive speedups over CPU rendering.

Try modifying the parameters above to explore different regions of the Mandelbrot set:

  • Elephant Valley: center = (-0.1, 0.65), zoom = 0.02
  • Spiral: center = (-0.7463, 0.1102), zoom = 0.005
  • Mini Mandelbrot: center = (-1.768, 0.001), zoom = 0.0001
