NVidia has a physics engine that runs on the GPU. It is really useful if you're training neural nets, which also run in parallel on the GPU. That's probably what the other poster was thinking about when they asked.
- lukan 3y agoI know about PhysX (have not tried it out, though) but it is news to me, that its hardware part is also really useful for training neural nets? More so than the ordinary GPU?
- lostdog 3y agoI'm referring to the Isaac simulator. Here's an example of using parallel training to learn walking policies very quickly: https://syncedreview.com/2021/10/01/deepmind-podracer-tpu-based-rl-frameworks-deliver-exceptional-performance-at-low-cost-115/ https://syncedreview.com/2021/10/01/deepmind-podracer-tpu-ba...
