Abstract

The computational requirements of cloth and other non-rigid solid simulations are high and often the running time is far from real time. In this paper, an efficient solution of the problem on parallel computer is presented. An application, which combines data parallelism with task parallelism has been developed, achieving a good load balancing and minimizing the communication cost. The execution time obtained for a typical problem size, its super-linear speed-up, and the iso-scalability shown by the model, will allow to reach real-time simulations in sceneries of growing complexity, using the most powerful multiprocessors.
