Mandelbrot

About

This application renders an image with any given resolution (which does not exceed 2³² - 1). It saves rendered bytes to a Luma PNG file named "mandelbrot.png". Needed parameters: width, height, minimum remaining memory (minimum: 1GB), number threads to use, number of iterations.
I was inspired by ideas from the book "Programming Rust: Fast, Safe Systems Development".
