The MandelFP application is a simple Mandelbrot fractal
generator with textual co-ordinate input only, however,
it uses *extended precision* floating point arithmetics
with distance estimator and boundary scan. Double-click
to start it.

Due to the elimination of a few data flow dependencies
within the inner loop, performance is increased by ~20%
over previous versions on FPA-based systems.

Right, some benchmarking results (standard parameters):

      ARM700/FPA,  33 MHz:  5,5 sec
       A5000/FPA,  25 MHz:  7,1 sec
StrongARM SA-110, 200 MHz: 16,0 sec

The program requires VGA and at least 2MB RAM to run.
