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!

Impressive +1

@The8BitPotato Before the GoL, the GPU does a technical demo which runs through all available features: multiple colours, single bit shifts (that's the shrinking green box), random number generation, 16 read/write registers, arbitrary boolean operations, then a short general demo. I can't loop yet, so it only runs 17 frames of GoL (max I can fit into the RAM) before going back to the start and showing the demo again.

Holy goodness. The great mark2222 has returned with a lovely architecture. 16 "cores"? I'll assume you've had quite the trip in studying to organize this system to be this supposedly compact.

I have no idea what it does, but +1 because it looks like it would do a good job at what its made tot do.

Also, why does the screen sometimes go blank and show a growing green box?

A multi-core processor in TPT? My PC only has 1 core! xD
