This is a demo of SIMD16S, a 16-bit, 16-core, 60Hz SIMD (parallel processing) unit. It runs Conway's Game of Life comfortably at a reasonably fast pace. Hooray for subframe!

@QuanTech I shall sorrow thee with my glorious 130 fps on large screen with gravity, heat and air simulation turned off. >:} It does look pretty.

so mark, what will happen next?

gosh darn, my crappy fps does not let me fully enjoy this "gaming inside a game" experience. 25 fps :(

@herp Yes. Actually I sorta dropped a hint what exactly in one of my previous saves. @LBPHacker Yeah. I would've just used the R1, but there are a number of features I need that it doesn't have.

@herp i guess after some further development of the GPU, it will then be up to the programmers out there. *LBPHacker*

Whats next, a game made from something like this that actually is sort of a game?

Yeah, well, I'm not sure whether mark's planning to build a computer or not. He probably is. mark? Also, lol, I was trying to not mention mine, it wouldn't have been a nice thing to do.

*Since this computer is not yet finished.

yeah LBPHacker's computer is one of THE BEST, if not the best for now, and can do programs, I think.+
