Important

If you want to print the board of the GameOfLife use the sequentialGame.py file, all the files that contain -noprint have no grafical interface and give only the time of the execution.

Built With

• Python 3.8.5
• Anaconda
• Visual Studio Code
• Numba
• MPI4PY
• Pygame

Getting Started

Open the script you want to execute, and compile it using py example.py

Prerequisites

Install OpenMPI from: https://www.open-mpi.org/

• MPI4PY

  python -m pip install mpi4py

If you have a NVIDIA GPU you shall install CUDA Toolkit: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads

• Numba

  python -m pip install numba

For more information check: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-python

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/matbmoser/GameOfLife.git

2. If you want to execute with NUMBA do:

   python parallelGame.py

   And select the max number of cores

3. If you want to execute with MPI do:

    mpiexec -cores <numofcores> python .\parallelGameMPI.py 

   You can choose the number of cores by changing numofcores to 2 for example
