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!

    @arlo things that happen between the frame, and gives the output or result every frame, instead of every 4 frames in standard electronics

    Also @danieldan0, the touch part of the screen doesn't really add to the size. The bulk of the per-pixel circuitry is the colour handling.
