Okay I browsed through the discussions a bit more and found this - worked like a charm: Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources.
The term was coined by Ageia to describe its PhysX chip. Examples of calculations involving a PPU might include rigid body dynamicssoft body dynamicscollision detectionfluid dynamicshair and clothing simulationfinite element analysisand fracturing of objects.

Ageia was noted as being the first company to develop hardware designed to offload calculation of video game physics from the CPU to a separate chip. Archived from the original on This usage is similar to Havok FX or GPU physics in that an auxiliary unit's general purpose floating point power is used to complement the CPU in either graphics or physics roles.
All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. NVidia CUDA provides a little more in the way of inter-thread communication and scratchpad-style workspace associated with the threads.
Looks like it got me pnysics, as well. A physics processing unit PPU is a dedicated microprocessor designed to handle the calculations of physicsespecially in the physics engine of video games.

April Learn how and when to physicss this template message. Its feature-set and placement within the system is geared toward accelerating game update tasks including physics and AI; it can offload such calculations working off its own instruction stream whilst the CPU is operating on something else.

The puysics toward GPGPU has made GPUs more suitable for the job of a PPU; DX10 added integer data types, unified shader architecture, and a geometry shader stage which allows a broader range of algorithms to be implemented; Modern GPUs support compute shaders, which run across an indexed space and don't require any graphical resources, just general purpose data buffers.

On February 4,Nvidia announced that it would acquire Ageia. This article needs additional citations for verification. Start a New Discussion.

But in MarchNvidia announced that it will make PhysX an open standard for everyone, [8] so the main graphic-processor manufacturers will have PhysX support in the next generation graphics cards.
Single-core Multi-core Manycore Heterogeneous architecture. Several other technologies in the Ageua spectrum have some features in common with it, although Ageia's product was the only complete one designed, marketed, supported, and placed within a system exclusively as a PPU.

Also VU0 is capable of providing additional vertex processing power, though this is more a property of physic pathways in the system rather than the unit itself. Tofik View Profile View Posts. Physics Processing Units Physics engines.
Could you elaborate on those problems a bit more? So you want to take screenshots!
