particles - Particles
Description
This sample uses CUDA to simulate and visualize a large set of particles and their physical interaction. Adding "-particles=" 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
