Real Time Fractal Flame Rendering

This document describes a project to implement real-time fractal flame rendering on an FPGA. A team of students from the Technical University of Crete developed an architecture and implementation that could render fractal flames with hundreds of millions of iterations in real time on an FPGA. Their work won the "Most Impressive Use of an FPGA" award at the 2013 Innovate Europe Contest, which included a trip to present at an international FPGA conference.
