# What is Uniform Vectorization?

> *Uniform vectorization* is the simplest form of vectorization where all the
elements share the same computation at every time step with no specific processing for any element.



One stereotypical case is the **Game of Life** that has
been invented by John Conway  and is one of the earliest examples of
cellular automata(see below). Those cellular automata can be conveniently regarded as
an array of cells that are connected together with the notion of neighbors and
their vectorization is straightforward.


Let me first define the game and we'll
see how to vectorize it!


This lesson discusses uniform vectorization and introduces the next case study that we are going to look at, i.e, Game of life.
