The name of this application has changed from Cell to 3D Stencil
3D Stencil is a cellular automaton used in Game of Life. In each iteration, each cell, labeled as either live or dead, counts the number of live cells in its neighborhood, and determines whether it will be live or dead in the next time step.
This kernel uses the technique of ghost zone optimization.
