MPI implementations of Conway’s Game of Life and Kohomoto–Oono cellular automata

Results obtained during practical training session on MPI during high perfomance computing summer school MIPT-2010 are discussed. MPI technology were one of technologies proposed to participants forrealization of project. 3D version of Conway’s Game of Life was proposed as a project. Algorithms used in thedevelopment, theoretical and practical assessment of their scalability is analyzed.
