Haptic rendering of deformable objects using a multiple FPGA parallel computing architecture
Abstract
High-fidelity simulations of haptic interaction with deformable objects is computationally challenging. In this paper, hardwarebased parallel computing is proposed for finite-element (FE) analysis of soft-object deformation models. A distributed implementation of the Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (PCG) algorithms on N Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices can solve the large system of equations arising from FE models at high update …
