Interactive simulation and visualization using the GPU
نویسندگان
چکیده
Visual simulation can be efficiently performed using programmable graphics hardware. However, in utilizing hardware to maximize throughput, it is important not to constrain interactivity. We present a method of using the graphics hardware while maintaining full interactivity during simulation exploration. This interactivity involves: temporal exploration, data probing and modification, simulation model modification, and user defined visual metadata. Results are shown using our application for exploring a reaction-diffusion simulation.

متن کاملAgent Based GPU, a Real-time 3D Simulation and Interactive Visualisation Framework for Massive Agent Based Modelling on the GPU
Traditional Agent Based Modelling (ABM) applications and frameworks lack the close coupling between the simulation behaviour and its visualisation that is required to achieve real time interactive performance with populations above a couple of thousand. The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) offers an ideal solution to simulate and visualise the behaviour of high population ABM. The parallel nature...
متن کاملInteractive Visual Exploration of Unsteady 3D Flows
In this paper we present GPU-based techniques for the interactive visualization of large unsteady 3D flow fields on uniform grids. We propose a novel dual-core approach to asynchronously stream such fields from the CPU, thus enabling the efficient exploration of large time-resolved sequences. This approach decouples visualization from data handling, resulting in interactive frame rates. Built u...
