This application allows you to explore the Julia Set of the Mandelbrot Set in MATLAB with the help of a capable GPU. It is primarily intended as a demonstration of element-wise calculations using MATLAB and a GPU, however it also has some fun features:
* Use the normal MATLAB zoom and pan to browse the Julia Set
* Drag or click to select the location in the Mandelbrot Set for which the Julia Set is rendered
* Sit back and watch the app move around the Mandelbrot Set on a pre-stored path (zoom and pan still work)

NB: Requires MATLAB R2016b or above with Parallel Computing Toolbox and an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA Compute Capability 3.0 or above.
