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

[Adams, Robert]

OpenCL libraries do provide speedups even on non-GPU systems. Designing the application for OpenCL causes data structures to be built to be parallelizable. Most processors have some form of wide instructions (SSE, etc) that can use the parallelizable data. Multi-threading can also be applied to the operations.

Even existing system could see some speedup.

A quick reply, i see one problem. most of the servers (inlcudeing mine) dont have realy openCL support.
So not sure what benneifit you want to get from openCL if the GPU dont support it.
