Conway's Game of Life project for Parallel and Distributed Computing course at MIPT 2015.

• single threaded (it was created for tests)
• using pthreads
• using MPI point to point operations
• using MPI collective operations
• using OpenMP

• make life creates interactive version of Game of Life called life
• make test creates benchmark version called test

• start width height number_of_threads - game set up
• start field_layout.csv number_of_threads - game set up
• run number_of_iterations - launches the game
• stop - stops the game
• status - shows field
• quit - waits for workers to finish and quits

• pthreads and single threaded:

  ./test width height number_of_threads number_of_iterations

• both MPI versions:

  mpirun -np number_of_threads ./test width height number_of_iterations

Also you can run series of tests by executing ./cluster_test.sh
