Cool! Those are really good numbers. It would be cool to integrate with visualization libraries and add support for using distributed arrays. Jeff built a nice parallel life demo that should probably still be in examples that does both visualization and distributed.

Similarly 1000x1000 grid with 100 generations of 2-dim CA (Game of > Life) takes around 12s in Mathematica and 5.5s in julia.
