"We present a novel, hybrid parallel continuous collision detection (HPCCD) method that exploits the availability of multi-core CPU and GPU architectures. HPCCD is based oil a bounding volume hierarchy, (BVH) and selectively performs lazy reconstructions," scientists in South Korea report.
"Our method works with a wide variety of deforming models and supports self-collision detection. HPCCD takes advantage of hybrid multi-core architectures - using the general-purpose CPUs to perform the BVH traversal and culling while GPUs are used to perforin elementary tests that reduce to solving cubic equations. We propose a novel task decomposition method that leads to a ...
