The Parallel Waves Simulation Based on GPU

This paper bases on the observation and research results of oceanography, comes up with a method of ocean simulation that based on GPU. With the development of the hardware, specifically the high development of GPU and its high speed computing power make GPU a new research hotspot. The paper uses FFT algorithm to generate height map, makes use of GPU to improve realism of ocean, and OpenGL is used to draw light and color. By researching above algorithm and technology, we realize a wave simulation system. Experimental results show that this method achieves good results on realism and real-time effects.
