Simulation of cellular automata on graphics processing units

Game of Life is a simple version of Cellular Automata which evolves from the ini- tial state and stops at a stable state when there is no further evolution. Flocking which depicts a behavior of a group of birds. CPU are not suitable for simulating a large size of data, because l...
