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
