Real-Time Prediction-Driven Dynamics Simulation to Mitigate Frame Time Variation

Abstract

This work introduces a prediction-driven real-time dynamics method that uses a graph-based state buffer to minimize the cost of mispredictions. Our technique reduces the average time needed for dynamics computation on the main thread by running the solver pipeline on a separate thread, enabling interactive multimedia applications to increase the computational budget for graphics at no cost perceptible to the end user.
