I think that’s probably just because they can more closely approximate the real world than other types of digital simulations. Even Minecraft is more realistic in many ways than other game engines (while having a lower spatial resolution than other voxel engines, obviously). Most hyper-realistic simulations tends to have that atomization of digital objects in some form since you need to run the physics calculations on as many points in space as possible. Like even Microsoft Flight Simulator, which is arguably the best looking game/simulator out there, simulates aerodynamics by running the calculations on lots of different points on the body of the aircraft. Voxel engines kind of have that ability built in rather than having to lay polygonal models on top of the simulation. But, like always, there’s a trade-off between the volumetric resolution and the processing power required.

I have been thoroughly enjoying being able to do rather difficult to run things like racing in BeamNG Multiplayer with 16+ players, or pushing Minecraft to stupid render distances with various mods. I'm looking forward to games built on voxel engines like yours, it looks like so much fun to mess around with. I do wanna say one thing, I really want to see flight simulation achieved via voxels. My dream would be a full game with a story, built around the idea of making ultra light aircraft, sculpted from wood, much like a balsa model aircraft, which the player can build and then fly in an incredible aerodynamic simulation, achieved utilizing purely voxels. I currently know nothing about coding, and this dream of a game made around this idea is impossible for me to achieve right now, but I think if I ever do get into coding and working with voxel physics simulations like this, that is what I'd do. I want to capture the beauty of flight, and specifically pure glider flight, in a physics simulation where the air flows accurately up and over mountains to replicate ridge lift, alongside thermal soaring and stuff like that. Idk if you'll read this, but I'd love to know where or how you started down your path in making these kinds of simulations. Your simulation with the ships I think is the closest I've seen to a simulation capable of achieving this idea of mine because the ships appear to be flexible, and destructible, which are both aspects crucial for making accurate glider flight simulation.

Yeah, I do want better air simulation at some point so I can handle gases and fire etc as well as wind to blow the sails, and hopefully support flight :).

Then back into making my game and because we didn't have plugins then like nowadays with Niagara Fluids or Zibra Liquids decided to try rolling my own.

My main impression of AI models for fluid simulation is they look a bit like multigrid. If it is a CNN it seems actually a bit similar to what I have set up. Like the kernels are like the MPM kernels where velocity gradients are measured etc. What I feel is that I already have the minimum computation required to simulate materials. It might be useful to fit material parameters so that simulated material behaviors more closely match experimental behavior.

This is amazing sim work, but clarify one thing, what do you mean you were super intrigued by intel's cpus and their high core counts ? I really tried listening to that part 3 times but still can't figure out what you mean. I've been using pcs since the days of AMD k6, Duron and Celeron Days. And now I have a Ryzen cpu. The only reason why we have high core counts these days is because AMD broke the almost decade old intel grip on the 4core era. Back to the point : What do you mean by being impressed with intel's higher core counts ? Perhaps you meant some sort of special register that may be unique to intel that helps your specific use case ? It makes very little sense to say intel has more cores since their top of the line desktop chips have a mix of bigLITTLE cores that top at 24threads/cpu whilst amd's top at 32. The enthusiast/workstation chips both Xeon W series and Threadrippers share the same story. The only place where intel and amd share the same nr of threads (not cores) is the high end mobile market but then again amd's offer with 3d-Vcache may significantly help your use case. All in all, you gained one subscriber 🥰 keep up the amazing work !

I'm mainly looking at what is available to most gaming consumers. When AMD goes above 16 cores there's a major jump in price right, with HEDT? The 13900K is available for $464. Anyway, once I did the testing my laptop 13900HX beat out my 12 core desktop 5900X. Could be due to DDR5 as well.

Anyway, I was able to get the E-cores performing about half a P-core. There was an earlier thing that said they were about 1/4 and I just wanted to see if I could do better by optimizing memory bandwidth. Sometimes I'm drawn to negatively reviewed hardware as well to see if I could do better. Like I was almost curious about the MSI claw to test out how it does compared to the AMD handhelds, but signs point to bad manufacturing by MSI as well. I currently have 3 AMD computers and 2 Intel so not trying to start any CPU wars. The sparse grid was developed also because I felt like it would help the grid data stay on v-cache more.

@@GrantKot ah I get it now, it makes sense to pick the best value option. And regarding ddr5, yes, In your memory bandwidth intensive usecase, it makes sense that ddr5 would outperform since it's got almost twice the bandwidth (on average). No CPU war intended btw 😅. Also, if you move your simulation from a dual channel to a quad or octa channel system, you should see serious perf jumps there too. Cheers

Hi, very cool! But unrelated question; As someone who doesn't know too much about computers, i have the feeling that i the last 20 years or so computer technology hasn't really improved much. As in, we still use the same tech and principles as back then, but industry has made everything cheaper and we figured out to make things smaller and more efficient so things have in fact improved, while still using the same technology. Is this true? If so, then it only makes sense that technology improves incrementally (with diminished returns even) over time. The only place left then to truly improve things is with optimization. Like how is seen in the video. Fax? Also i wonder what AI is able to bring to the table but i will restrain myself from bringing up such a buzzword. Oops too late.

Game dev graphics programmer here. There have been _numerous_ improvements in raw hardware speed, core counts, and algorithms. CPUs have _tens_ of cores, GPUs have _thousands_ of cores. What you may be referring to is that in the last 2 decades there has been decreasing returns in *core clock speeds* due to Silicon having a soft 5 GHz barrier. *You can’t afford the heating bill on CPUs that run at 500+ GHz.* Those are also made with GaAs due to Silicon’s inability to “scale”. Intel held the industry back *for a decade* with quad core CPUs. AMD’s Ryzen and Threadripper brought us _”Cores for cheap”_ by giving us 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 24, 48, 64 cores at affordable prices. Intel dropped the price of its 18-core CPU by a whopping 50% due to Threadripper! Even “simple” algorithms can be sped up 2x to 8x by doing more calculations, doing branchless algorithms (trading latency for throughput), using small data tables, or some combination. RAM speed is SO slow compared to CPU speed that many data tables have been made obsolete - but one must measure your algorithm to know where this boundary is. Multi threading has become mandatory for scalability of performance. I.e. compression/decompression, CPU rendering, physic’s simulation such as CFD. Heterogeneous computing (CPU + GPU) where you try to keep both CPU & GPU workloads balanced to achieve high utilization and performance is a skill set. Unreal Engine’s _5 _ showed us software rasterization is not dead and that it can even beat hardware rasterization. Hybrid utilization / hybrid rasterization is a game changer. We finally have hardware raytracing where we can use custom data structures for walking a scene. Deferred rendering and Physically Based Rendering are the norm for high quality photorealism. We have pseudo real-time Global Illumination with multi bounce lighting. We have path tracing in pseudo real-time. GPUs have 12 GB, 16 GB, 24 GB, or even more VRAM allowing for bigger and bigger datasets to be used. Not thrashing the data cache is _extremely_ important for high performance. One can have two algorithms doing the _exact_ work with the only difference being the way they access memory and one can be 8x times SLOWER! A LOT of this is niche but there have a TON of changes to the way we approach algorithms, optimizations, you just have to look in the sub-fields of programming.

@@merlinkater7756 Glad to help. If there is anything you would like clarification feel free to ask! Computing is having a bit of "crisis". Moore's Law states that the **number of transistors** doubles roughly every 18 months. There is a direction correlation between transistor count and performance. It is becoming exceedingly more and more difficulty to use smaller and smaller distances for chip design due to "cross talk". Material Science is a whole another domain to study where the standard behavior of electricity starts to break down at these ultra TINY scales. It is WEIRD (in a good way.) In the 90's x86 CPUs went "deep" by scaling up a single core GHz performance. That peaked when Silicon couldn't scale past 5 GHz cheaply, so x86 CPU's went "wide": Add more cores and figure out the synchronization issues at both the hardware and software level. You may have noticed that for the last decade Thermal Management has played a HUGE part in chip design. i.e. If you have a 8 core cpu running at 5 GHz, the 16-core can only run at ~4 GHz due to all the extra heat the cores generate. If you throttle all the other cores down to 50% power usage you can run a single core at ~5.5 GHz. You may have even seen Overclockers set world records by running a CPU at 9+ GHz using Liquid Nitrogen. They basically have enough cooling to boot the computer up and take a screenshot before they are "out of juice". Thermal management and Power Efficiency drive CPUs these days. You may have seen Apple's M1, M2, M3 chips. They are HYPER efficient using 1/4 to 1/2 of the watts that a normal x86 chip needs. If Apple would stop doing anti-consumer bone-headed decisions such as **soldering RAM onto the motherboard** they would be a _really_ nice alternative. The funny thing is as fast as computers are they are STILL dog-slow. Once we have room temperature super conductors we are going to start to see REALLY FUN computers. Bio-organic computing is another area to keep an eye on. The human body is basically a super-computer and Mother Nature has had Billions of years to research and develop the technology. =P Sorry for the brain dump but I thought you would find it interesting to hear how computers have evolved in the last few decades at a high-level.
