Fractals and DWScript
This site grew out of a computing experiment for DWScript and the DWS WebServer.
DWScript is a Pascal scripting language for applications and server, with Just-In-Time compilation support, and one of the first testbeds for the JIT compiler happened to be compiting the Mandelbrot Set.
A second experiment involved a mini-grid computing project between a DWScript server and contributors running a SmartMobileStudio application in a web page, SmartMS uses the DWScript compiler to compile strongly-typed Pascal into plain JavaScript.
This website uses the data generated during that last experiment, which mapped the Mandelbrot Set to the resolution of a Four TeraPixel image in the last days of 2013.

Apart from DWScript, this project makes use of:
- SQLite 3 is used as the database back-end
- SmartMobileStudio is used for the computing clients
- Synopse mORMot is used for various aspects
- OpenLayers is used for the HTML5 browser
- Modern Business template was used as the basis for this site
