Presenting: ChipmunkCL

Post by resistor »

Yes, you read it right, ChipmunkCL. That is, Chipmunk powered (in part, for the moment) by OpenCL! Useful? Probably not really, at least until more of the engine is pushed into the OpenCL kernel (currently just the position integration function is), but it's still kind of nifty.

Don't expect it to be blazingly fast at the moment, as the existing Chipmunk architecture isn't terribly GPU-friendly. ChipmunkCL probably spends more time shuffling data into a GPU-friendly format than it does actually computing anything.

Requires Mac OS X 10.6 and an OpenCL-capable GPU.

All these fun but currently impractical (from a support point of view) technologies in 10.6. I guess I should upgrade someday. >.<
