GPU Physics Engine Nearly Complete
We knew it was coming, and now it appears that NVIDIA’s acquisition of PhysX maker Ageia is about to pay off. NVIDIA has told analysts that that the conversion of Ageia’s physics application interface to CUDA is nearly complete—so if you are running GeForce 8000 you will soon be able to enjoy the benefits of a physics accelerator via a simple software download.
PhysX technology has yet to take off, but with GPU integration, it is poised to breakout in a serious way. In fact, there are around 140 games that are supported or currently in development that utilize the technology. It may also go a long way to silence critics that say GPUs may not be necessary in the future given the increasing power of multi-core CPUs.
