Files in this directory gives examples of different parallel strategies using the mandbrot fractal as example. The codes need PIL (Python Imaging Library) to show the results, but the computational bit will still work without PIL. It also tries to show images using either xv of eog (EyeOfGnome). This material was developed as part of a teaching module and is documented further at http://datamining.anu.edu.au/~ole/work/teaching/summerschool2005/ To compile C extensions in this directory python compile_mandelbrot_extensions.py or python compile.py mandel_ext.c python compile.py mandelplot_ext.c
