[Opensim-dev] Feature Proposal: BulletSim GPU Acceleration via OpenCL

[Adams, Robert]

I (the main worker on BulletSim) will edit the proposal page but, I will say, the main reason I chose to work with Bullet was for its promise of having hardware acceleration. There have been versions of Bullet that use Cuda and OpenCL and I did some early testing. Erwin has been teasing Bullet 3 for a few years now which is supposed to have real OpenCL support.

While not stated explicitly anywhere, my wish is for eventual complete parallel physics support -- both multi-threading and OpenCL.

Hi, all.

I think my proposal mostly speaks for itself, so I won't belabor the point in this email. Suffice it to say, if you are interested in performance of OpenSimulator, and in particular physical objects performance, please check out my feature proposal here and provide feedback, either by editing the page directly or replying to this email.

Thanks!
