Conway's Game of Life.
Basically, I'm looking for a fast (the fastest?) way of updating grids, where each cell has to look at an arbitrary number of its neighbors. I've seen some fast life-programs, but often they took advantage of particular quirks of the rules of Life.
Is there a known 3D totalistic or semi-totalistic automaton (Life is the latter sort - state at time t+1 depends on state at time t and count of neighbours) which exhibits the same sort of behaviour as Life (that is, a reasonable range of naturally-occuring^([sic]) still lives and short-period oscillators)?
Maybe the RolfLife algorithm could be of value to someone implementing life i.e. in the vertex shader of a (DirectX 9) graphics card, where few lines of code and no LUT are favoured.
