I made a Game of Life demo using tensorflow.js: https://jsfiddle.net/5jobgzpq/2/

Which one is faster?

I'm guessing the tensorflow.js is pretty bad due to lots of temporary tensors. Although, it uses a convolution operator, and that part is probably relatively good.

Thanks for the demo, clever implementation.

Can anyone think of a way to reduce the number of operators further? Less == and OR operations done after the convolution?

I just googled "Conway's Game of Life" to know more about it and they had a special search page with it running on the side.

Any source?

It's in the link, just click through the notebook
