Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method, computer program product, and system for performing physics simulations on at least one graphics processor unit (GPU). The method includes the following steps. First, data representing physical attributes associated with at least one mesh are mapped into a plurality of memory arrays to set up of a linear system of equations that governs motion of the at least one mesh depicted in a scene. Then, computations are performed on the data in the plurality of memory arrays using at least one pixel processor to solve the linear system of equations for an instant of time, wherein modified data representing the solution to the linear system of equations for the instant of time are stored in the plurality of memory arrays.
