Nvidia's 2006 GPU fluid demo now runs on a 2022 phone as a 3D voxel sim

Mirza Beig shows the evolution of GPU fluid simulation: extending a 2D GPU fluid sim into 2.5D via vertex height extrusion. He compares it to an Nvidia demo from late 2006 that required a beefy discrete desktop GPU — the same 3D voxel-volumetric fluid sim now runs in real time on his 2022 phone, a vivid illustration of nearly two decades of GPU progress.
