Physics on NVIDIA GPUs (11:00am – noon)
Presenter: Mark Harris
[Slides (.pdf)]
http://developer.download.nvidia ... ics-siggraph-06.pdf
The extreme parallelism and increasing flexibility of GPUs is making general-purpose computation on GPUs useful in real-world applications. This talk will discuss the state of the art in game physics simulation on NVIDIA GPUs, from basic particle system simulation through rigid-body dynamics. The presentation will showcase Havok FX, a GPU-based game physics API co-developed by Havok and NVIDIA. Havok FX leverages state of the art software and hardware technology from NVIDIA to enable physics processing for massive real-time effects. The presentation will describe how Havok FX uses NVIDIA technology to simulate and render thousands of particles and rigid bodies in games. Live real-time demos will demonstrate the high performance available with current GPUs and provide a look into the future of physics on NVIDIA GPUs.
