Future Improvements

There are several improvements that can be made to this application, such as:

A single, persistent connection could be created by the application. Appropriate error handling would have to be added. This would reduce the overhead associated with connection startup and teardown.
The reply code on the server could be optimized to consolidate replies, reducing the number of packets sent from the server.
Improvements in the protocol could be made. For example, an update bitmask could be used to signify which cells are to be updated, and only that cell data sent.
Updates could be overlapped using different threads, so that the network is not idle while the ComputeNext function is running.
