Abstract :
Work on physics-based engines spurred the development of commercial libraries. With the rapid performance growth of GPUs, game developers have used them to host a variety of algorithms that can perform operations such as fluid and cloth simulation. Hardware acceleration has enabled a new class of realistic physics-based effects on a massive scale
