Physically based simulation of cloth on distributed memory architectures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Physically based simulation of cloth in virtual environments is a computationally demanding problem. It involves modeling the internal material properties of the textile (physical modeling) and also treating interactions with the surrounding scene (collision handling). In this paper, we present an approach to parallel cloth simulation designed for distributed memory parallel architectures, particularly clusters built of commodity components. We discuss parallel techniques for the physical modeling phase as well as for the collision handling phase which can significantly reduce the respective computation times. To deal with the very fine granularity of the physical modeling phase we apply a static data decomposition approach based on graph partitioning. In order to cope with the high irregularity of the collision handling phase we employ taskparallel techniques based on fully dynamic problem decomposition. We show how both techniques can be integrated into a robust parallel cloth simulation method which can deal with considerably complex scenes. 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملParallel techniques in irregular codes: cloth simulation as case of study
When parallelizing irregular applications on ccNUMA machines several issues should be taken into account in order to achieve high code performance. These factors include locality exploitation and parallelism, as well as careful use of memory resources (memory overhead). An important number of numerical simulation codes are clear examples of irregular applications. Frequently this kind of codes ...

In this paper, we investigate the suitability of parallel architectures for the realisation of a novel objectbased computational model [21] encapsulated within programming languages such as [11]. This model incorporates objects, groups, broadcast message-passing and asynchronous execution. As such it provides a high-level, architecture-independent representation for a variety of concurrent syst...
