multicore cpu & model realism
I read this article and thought some of you may be interested. It pertains to smithsfield multicore and Robohordes physical modeling.
This is what the inquirer has to say about the IDF demo:
"The thing that makes it a good multicore demo is the threading model. Robohordes immediately spawns four threads for physics, allowing them to run the physics model at 200FPS. This means that things bounce realistically and happen at a more granular level than the display can show. For the end user, items don't get caught in walls, you fall like you think you should fall, and everything works."
