Generally on 4 actual cores one can expect speedup of 3.9 timesSo short answer... yes it does.

1. If my math is right we only display 1 millionth part of world.
2. You can always write mote effective GOL, and then run it multicore.
3. If you do.. remember to Pull Request me, so otheres can enjoy.

#HOW

Change first line from 1 to 2 or even 10 workers and run the script.Observe how the speed of world generation changes....Isn't that exiting?If you feel particularly adventurous, you might even go for 50 threads.Do not worry.. they are quite light weight.

Installation:you know thedrill....

    git clone    cd    npm install    node index.js

cat docs/multicore_all_things.txt

tested on mac & windows

Need volunteer to run it in Linux!
