NASA Teams Up With Xbox One - Simulates 35 Thousand Light Years of Space

In a small room tucked away at the back of Microsoft's E3 booth, developers behind the company's upcoming and now controversial Xbox One shared a tech demo created with the aid of NASA in an attempt to push the technical limits of what Microsoft's Geoff Henshaw calls the system's "pure horsepower."
The demo itself is largely the work of programmer Frank Savage who with a team began the experiment with the system by searching for a "giant set of data," says Henshaw. The goal: To see what is possible using the pure computational horsepower of the new console.
"So we went to NASA, because NASA has this really cool database. It has every single celestial body in the inner solar system, including planets, moons, asteroids, comets." says Henshaw. The result is a tech demo simulation of space based on out to 35 thousand light years of data which tracks the position, velocity and orbital trajectory of every single subset of asteroids between Mars and Pluto. Each of the 40,000 asteroids are calculated and rendered, presenting its time and place to a high degree of accuracy."
微软在小黑屋里演示了一段技术演示,以展现该公司即将推出的新主机XBOX ONE的真实力量
这个demo起源于Frank Savage关于新主机对大数据量处理的实验。于是他们找到了NASA,NASA拥有有趣的数据库,它有内太阳系中每个天体的数据。开发人员基于NASA的数据库,模拟了3万5千光年范围的宇宙。这个技术演示模拟了火星和冥王星之间的小行星的位置,速度和轨道,40000个小行星都被计算和渲染,以高精度呈现出小行星的时间和位置 |
