Intel® Threading Building Blocks. Game_of_life sample

# Intel® Threading Building Blocks.
Game_of_life sample

The "Game of life" example demonstrates interoperability of Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) and Microsoft* .NET*.
This program runs 2 simultaneous instances of the classic Conway's "Game of Life". One of these instances uses serial calculations to update the board. The other one calculates in parallel with Intel TBB. The visualization is written in managed C++ and uses .NET CLR.
