PCPer has a look at some new information about the technology behind AGEIA first physics processors as well as some updated demos showing off the card in action.
First, AGEIA has massive amounts of internal bandwidth on the chip. They claim to have nearly two terabits per second (2 Tbits/s) of internal memory bandwidth to work with, many times more than even the fastest processors or GPUs available today. This addresses the needs of our first component of a physic processing system, scale, to a T. Detecting and resolving the collisions of a large number of moving rigid bodies requires this kind of bandwidth to implement the geometric math necessary for the calculations.
I’m a little slow on the draw posting some of this news, but I still thought it was relevant.
