This sample uses CUDA to simulate and visualize a large set of particles and their physical interaction. Adding "-particles=<N>" to the command line will allow users to set # of particles for simulation. This example implements a uniform grid data structure using either atomic operations or a fast radix sort from the Thrust library

Sample: smokeParticles Minimum spec: SM 2.0 Smoke simulation with volumetric shadows using half-angle slicing technique. Uses CUDA for procedural simulation, Thrust Library for sorting algorithms, and OpenGL for graphics rendering. Key concepts: Graphics Interop Data Parallel Algorithms Physically-Based Simulation
