parallel Broadphase Collision Detection methods

Post by jesperd »

Hi,

I'm working on a project and searching for some different broadphase collision detection algorithms that runs in parallel.
As I can see, Bullet has developed a method for GPU. I have looked at the code, at it seems that the algorithm used is a some sort of a spatial grid with a hash function.

Can any one tell me which method is used, and if Bullet has developed a broadphase collision detection for posix threads or for a distributed architecture (not for SPU / GPU) I will be happy :)
