نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a parallel cloth simulation engine designed for distributed memory parallel architectures, in particular clusters built of commodity components. We focus on efficient parallel processing of irregularly structured and real-world sized problems typically occurring in the simulation of garments. We report on performance measurements showing a high degree of parallel efficiency and scalability indicating the usefulness of our approach.

Physically based simulation of cloth on distributed memory architectures
Physically based simulation of cloth in virtual environments is a computationally demanding problem. It involves modeling the internal material properties of the textile (physical modeling) and also treating interactions with the surrounding scene (collision handling). In this paper, we present an approach to parallel cloth simulation designed for distributed memory parallel architectures, part...
متن کاملAsynchronous Cloth Simulation
This paper presents a new method for cloth simulation, which uses asynchronous variants of both time integration and collision handling. Implicit integration methods like backward Euler and BDF-2 are very popular in computer graphics, since they allow for fast and stable animations. However, when combined with large time steps, their inherent numerical dissipation results in over-damped simulat...
متن کاملSpeeding Up Cloth Simulation
Simulating the motion of cloth is an important component in virtual character animation. Believable animations are now expected in feature films. Games and virtual reality are next, but the computational costs are still high. In this thesis we present a number of methods which reduce these costs, without losing accuracy or generality. To this end, we introduce a novel adaptive implicit-explicit...
متن کاملOr-Parallel Prolog Execution on Clusters of Multicores
Logic Programming languages, such as Prolog, provide an excellent framework for the parallel execution of logic programs. In particular, the inherent non-determinism in the way logic programs are structured makes Prolog very attractive for the exploitation of implicit parallelism. One of the most noticeable sources of implicit parallelism in Prolog programs is or-parallelism. Or-parallelism ari...
متن کاملVirtual Shared Memory and Distributed Memory Implementations of Parallel Algorithms for Numerical Integration
Parallel globally adaptive algorithms for numerical integration provide a simple example of algorithms that exploit control parallelism. In this paper we consider the implementation of such algorithms on both virtual shared memory (KSR-1) and distributed memory (iPSC/860) machines and investigate how the characteristics of the diierent architectures aaect the choice of implementation and thereb...
