This project is part of CS3210 Parallel Computing, National University of Singapore. It implements Conway's Game of Life using CUDA kernels.
Few libraries are required for this project:
Additionally, CMake is needed to build the project.
If you're using Ubuntu, CMake and the libraries can be installed by issuing the following command:
sudo apt-get install cmake libglew-dev libglm-dev
GLFW is included as a submodule within this repository.
The nVidia CUDA SDK can be downloaded from nVidia's website.
mkdir build && cd buildcmake ..make -jN, where N is the number of parallel jobs
When done, the resulting binaries should be found as 3dgol and 3dgol_gui.
If you're on Ubuntu 14.10 or newer and have libglfw3-dev already installed on
your system, you can use the system installed GLFW library by running
cmake -DUSE_SYSTEM_GLFW=ON in step 2 instead.
By default, the system installed GLM library is used. To change this, set
USE_SYSTEM_GLM to OFF.
3dgol is the command-line implementation. 3dgol_gui is the implementation
with a 3D display. Run each command without parameters to learn about the
required and optional parameters.
