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!

@danieldan0 higher res? that's not easy

is this the beginning of the TPT GPU revolution? Will someone make crysis run on this? Is the meaning of life 42, or 420? These are some important unanswered questions.

@mark2222 You can make a screen without touchscreen but with higher resolution.

I dont see target of creating thing like that, but i see thats really big piece'o'work. upper system looks impossible. it's really hard to create thing like that. +1 PS:its also good for bomb testing

Subframe electronic is awesome ^^

@Awalone I have an assembler for this (https://github.com/krawthekrow/simd16s-assembler), but I don't plan on giving more detailed documentation until the CPU side is out. Without it, you can't even loop. @SuperJoshiDuff Once the CPU side is out, you can probably use it to make simple games like pacman, or even a simplified platformer. The main limiting factor is the fact that the screen is only 16x16.

if this is 16-bit could i play a snes game on it

how to use it?
