More and more applications are popping up where it would genuinely be a huge advantage to have tons of memory on massively parallel computing devices (i.e. GPUs) It's the case for basically all of AI. And it's clearly also the case for this algorithm, if it can go crazy fast so long as you have enough memory.

[@andreyrumming6842]

Look up the A100 graphics card. It doesn't have video output, but it does have 80GB of RAM specifically for data center number crunching

[@robertstevensii4018]

I've been thinking lately that the Ethereum Virtual Machine might be perfect for these AI applications. What do you think?

[@CyborusYT]

It sounds like you're just describing a supercomputer. Admittedly, it might be feasible in the near future.

[@sebastianjost]

That's probably at least part of the reason why VRAM on GPUs is also increasing. Both on cards meant for servers and on those for private users. Look at the Nvidia RTX 3060 card - a card meant to be relatively low tier, yet still comes with 12GB of VRAM.

I would use this to design bongs that have smoke travel in aesthetically pleasing ways. Like vertex cool stuff going on with a dragon type pipe or something like that. Its pricy to produce hand made glass things so you can get an idea of the flow before putting it into production.

Woah, I work on a project called the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment where we simulate the dynamical merging of twisted torodial plasma geometries called Taylor states.

Even if it consumes a lot of memore, good quality and robustness still worth it! But yes, all we hope for improvements. And kudos to developers!

[@MOSMASTERING]

Is it possible to add some sort of nanite processing like in Unreal's new engine. Where if it isn't seen, i isn't processed - I know that everything has to interact everything else, but can you not estimate more of what isn't seen as it is CGI rather than an accurate simulation.

[@Veaug]

[@frab8061]

Is the deciding factor what this paper does differently the coordinate system? Does it calculate the simulation in a cylinder and spherical coordinate system instead of an Cartesian one?

In order to speed up certain kinds of liquid simulations, couldn't they program margin domain to exist slightly on the outside of the particles instead of shaped domain like cubes or spheres?

[@watcher2602]

Sir, what if it is exposed to simulated wind? That would be really great since most of the smokes simulated in games had to interact with surroundings. This would also mean an outside force except wind should also be considered too like blowing the smoke, or blowing candles or simply just a match when it gets thrown. Sir, you just said in the title "have a catch" but then you only used the simulation to interact with shapes. If this paper is fixed on their sizes you should do what I suggested, it would be really cool. Thank you sir.

"What would you use this for?" _There_ is the cravat.. If we imagine this in video-games, the amount of realism would ofcause be raised, but is that really making the _gameplay_ better? I fear we will see even more games with even more photorealistic content, but lousy gameplay. Games are not better than its gameplay, no matter how realistic it may look like. That said, a method like this used in entertainment usage as film-effects, could bring the costs down and deliver full realistic end-results _There_ i can clearly see benefits.
