## Overview

The "Game of life" example demonstrates interoperability of TBB and .NET.
This program runs 2 simultaneous instances of the classic Conway's "Game of Life". One of these instances uses serial calculations to update the board. The other one calculates in parallel with TBB. The visualization is written in managed C++ and uses .NET CLR.

## Source Files

Form1.h, Board.h
  Header files for GUI classes.
Evolution.h, Evolution.cpp
  Contain class hierarchy to implement game evolution in serial and parallel.
Update_state.cpp
  Implements 2 approaches for calculating steps in the program: with the use of SSE intrinsics, and ordinary C++ code.
Game_of_life.cpp
  Contains program entry point and other source not related to logical structure of the example.
Makefile
  Makefile for building example.
