+`complex-fractals` is a collection of high performance computing programs to generate and render complex fractals.
+This was completed as a final project for CSCI392: *High Performance Computing* at Moravian University.
+
+As an overview, the serial, shared memory, or CUDA implementation of the program is used to generate a `.grid` file of the desired fractal.
+During generation, various parameters can be set such as the generated fractal, magnification level, sampling resolution, and captured region of the complex plane.
+Afterwards, a serial program can be used to generate a colored PNG or animated GIF of the output via [LibGD](https://libgd.github.io/).
+See [Full Size Renders](#full-size-renders) for examples.
+More details can be found in the [README on the project's repo](https://github.com/jpappel/complex-fractals).

 ## Analysis
 
-[Interactive Analysis](/projects/complex-fractals/analysis.html)
+An [analysis](/projects/complex-fractals/analysis.html) was completed comparing the various program versions.
+The major takeaway is that the problem parallelizes very well when using the escape time algorithm.
 
 ## Presentation
 
-[Presentation](/projects/complex-fractals/presentation.html)
+As part of the course a [presentation](/projects/complex-fractals/presentation.html) was required.
+The speaker notes may be accessed by pressing `s` on the keyboard and allowing the site to create a pop-up window.
+While originally a group project and presentation, I ended up completing this all on my own.
