Parallel Cloth Simulation Using OpenGL Shading Language

Parallel Simulation of Inextensible Cloth

This paper presents an efficient simulation method for parallel cloth simulation. The presented method uses an impulse-based approach for the simulation. Cloth simulation has many application areas like computer animation, computer games or virtual reality. Simulation methods often make the assumption that cloth is an elastic material. In this way the simulation can be performed very efficientl...

A Brief OpenGL Shading Tutorial

Perlin noise is one of the primary tools responsible for the success of procedural shading in production rendering. It breaks the crisp computer generated look by adding apparent randomness that is controllable and repeatable. Both Perlin’s original noise algorithm and his later improved noise were designed to run efficiently on a CPU. These algorithms do not map as well to the design and resou...

Fast Cloth Simulation with Parallel Computers

The computational requirements of cloth and other non-rigid solid simulations are high and often the running time is far from real time. In this paper, an eecient solution of the problem on parallel computer is presented. An application, which combines data parallelism with task parallelism has been developed, achieving a good load balancing and minimizing the communication cost. The execution ...

Parallel Algorithm for Fast Cloth Simulation

Image-parallel Ray Tracing using OpenGL Interception

CPU Ray tracing in scientific visualization has been shown to be an efficient rendering algorithm for large-scale polygonal data on distributed-memory systems by using custom integrations which modify the source code of existing visualization tools or by using OpenGL interception to run without source code modification to existing tools. Previous implementations in common visualization tools us...
