Comparing GLSL, OpenCL and CUDA: cloth simulation on the GPU
Abstract
This chapter provides a comparison study between three popular platforms for generic programming on the GPU, namely GLSL, CUDA and OpenCL. These technologies are used for implementing an interactive physically based method that simulates a piece of cloth colliding with single primitives like spheres, cylinders, and planes. We assess the advantages and the drawbacks of each different technology in terms of usability and performance.
