Interaktive physikalisch-basierte Simulation auf verteilten Systemen

This master thesis deals with interactive physically-based simulation on distributed systems. It is examined, how to adapt existing algorithms and data structures for interactive and non-interactive simulations, to be used on distributed systems. A distributed system consists of multiple graphics cards that can be additionally distributed across nodes in a network. Investigated algorithms are the method of conjugated gradients as well as the multigrid method. Of interest is the scalability with statements about runtime, speedup and efficiency in connection with the number of degrees of freedom
