New versions of the NVIDIA SDK and FX Composer with Shader Model 3.0 support are now available. SDK 8.0 includes hundreds of all-new Shader Model 3.0 code samples and effects, including three new GPGPU code samples:
- GPGPU Fluid, a fast, realistic fluid simulation
- GPGPU Disease, a creepy dynamic “disease” effect based on chemical reaction-diffusion
- GPU Particles, a fast particle system that can simulate 1 million particles at 20 fps on GeForce 6800
Also included in the SDK is the GPU Gems chapter “Fast Fluid Dynamics Simulation on the GPU”. Links to these code samples have been added to the GPGPU developer page.
