Abstract

See full text

A PPU-enhanced computer system is provided including a Physics Processing Unit (PPU), a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), a Central Processing Unit (CPU) and a main memory, wherein the system creates an animation from application data stored in the main memory by data communication between the GPU, PPU, CPU and main memory. The system may include a memory controller and a chip set connecting the bus structure to the CPU and GPU through an I/O interface and connecting the PPU though a bus structure. The PPU may be a separate processing core logically grouped with the CPU and GPU processing cores. In this preferred embodiment, the CPU, GPU and PPU receive data from a common L2 cache and/or a main system memory.
