What's Ava?

I found this interesting until it promises to go deep and my eyes glazed over [via Hacker News]: nickmcd.me/2022/10/01/procedural-wind-and-clouds-using-gpu-accelerated-lattice-boltzmann-method/

Quote:
Computationally, this change of problem framing represents a new trade-off between parallelism vs. memory efficiency of the problem, which lends itself to GPU acceleration.

In the following chapter, I will present the Boltzmann Equation, its variable the Particle Distribution Function, and how these two concepts relate to our differential conservation laws.

Finally, I will show how the Boltzmann Equation is solved numerically on a lattice as the LBM, and how we can exploit the parallelism of LBM for efficient GPU acceleration.
That's a third the way down the page. Maybe I'll try again later.
