NVIDIA PhysX Presentation

NVIDIA has published a new presentation about PhysX. This 62-page paper includes a presentation of PhysX as well as an overview of APEX (Adaptive Physics EXtensions) a library built on top of the PhysX SDK. The paper talks also about the license fees: PC Binary SDK Free for both Commercial AND Non-Commercial use. This is a good news for Demoniak3D

AMD will support the Havok Physics Engine

AMD will add the Havok Physics engine to both its multi-core CPUs and GPUs, but AMD managing director noted that the focus is on CPUs given feedback from gaming developers who like the idea of offsetting physics computation to CPU cores.

AMD is hoping to accelerate Havok Physics on both its multi-core CPUs and GPUs and claims that it’s striving to deliver the best of both worlds. However, the main focus at the moment appears to be AMD’s CPUs. AMD and Havok say that they’re planning to optimise the ‘full range of Havok technologies on AMD x86 superscalar processors, and AMD claims that Havok Physics scales extremely well across the entire family of AMD processors.

Havok’s managing director, David O’Meara, explained the priority for CPUs, saying that the feedback that we consistently receive from leading game developers is that core game play simulation should be performed on CPU cores. However, he added that GPU physics acceleration could become a feature in the future, saying that ‘the capabilities of massively parallel products offer technical possibilities for computing certain types of simulation.

Extreme Loading Simulation Technology

Extreme Loading is a ground-breaking technology that was originally developed by engineers and scientists for the analysis and simulation of material separation and structural collapse. This proprietary technology spans physical and special effects capabilities for producing everything from unprecedented previsualizations to post production computer generated imagery (CGI) closer to reality than any cinematic technology in use today.
