NVIDIA GPUs and PhysX engine


How is the NVIDIA PhysX engine implemented in the NVIDIA GPUs: It's a co-processor or the physical algorithms are implemented as fragment programs to be executed in the GPU pipeline ?


Solution

  • PhysX is implemented using NVIDIA's CUDA (GPGPU implementation). There isn't a separate co-processor or other dedicated piece of silicon.
