METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PARTICLE MANIPULATION USING GRAPHICS PROCESSING

摘要

Methods and apparatus are provided for: grouping objects within a three dimensional (3D) graphics space into a plurality of object sets, each object set being located in a respective sub-space within the 3D space; computing final graphics data for each object of the object sets based on initial graphics data for each of the objects, where the respective computations for each of the object sets are performed using a respective one of a plurality of processors of a multi-processor system; and repeating the above steps for each of a plurality of image frames using the final graphics data from a previous image frame as the initial graphics data for a current image frame.
