ABSTRACT:
The current invention provides a virtual world simulation system capable of hosting with massive amount of concurrent players by integrating commodity parallel co-processors into servers. The current invention proposes novel parallel processing algorithms to make use of commodity parallel co-processors like a graphic processing unit (GPU) or any specialized hardware with parallel architecture design like a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), to accelerate virtual world simulation.
