1 milion particles @ 100-200fps

Posted by: Tim Reha | Thursday, November 19, 2009 | 0 Comments |

The hypergraphics guru Mehmet (aka Memo) Akten, an artist / musician / toy maker / mad scientist based in London, UK—drops 1 milion particles @ 100-200fps.

The significance is subtle and points to a whole new future of GPU accelerated magic that will spawn new startups around the world.

Read up on OpenCL on Memo’s post and be sure to download the true HD version.

ofxOpenCL for openFrameworks 1M Particle Demo from Memo Akten on Vimeo.

“This is 1,000,000 particles being interacted on by mouse, updated on GPU (with springy behaviours ) via an OpenCL kernel, data written straight to a VBO and rendered - without ever coming back to host (i.e. main memory + cpu etc.) “

NOTE: The Vimeo compression destroys most of the particles, so I suggest downloading the quicktime directly from the vimeo page at http://www.vimeo.com/7332496
