Abstract

In this paper, we discuss hardware acceleration for real-time physical modeling that would allow for realistic virtual environments. Additionally, we propose algorithms and their architectural implementation (SPARTA), which is specifically tuned for real-time use. We expect performance orders of magnitude higher than general-purpose CPUs.
