CUDA Game of Life generator

This application

1. generates a random Game of Life board, then
2. computes the given consecutive steps afterward, finally
3. writes the result into the given file in the format needed by the viewer.

The program uses the "infinite field" type of Conway's Game of Life.

The following tools and developer libraries are needed to compile this project:

• CUDA Developer library
• OpenMP developer library
• C++11-aware compiler (eg. GCC toolchain v4.7)

In the project directory you'll find the compile.sh, just run it.

To customize the application you can change the following in GameOfLife.cu:

• Board width and height: 69. and 70. line
• Number of steps in the life: 71. line
• Number of streams from which two of them concurrently compute and copy the results back: 72. line
