I have a particle system with X particles. Each particle tests for collision with other particles. This gives X*X = X^2 collision tests per frame. For 60f/s, this corresponds to 60*X^2 collision detection per second.
What is the best technological approach for these intensive calculations? Should I use F#, C, C++ or C#, or something else?
The following are constraints
- The code is written in C# with the latest XNA
- Multi-threaded may be considered
- No special algorithm that tests the collision with the nearest neighbors or that reduces the problem
The last constraint may be strange, so let me explain. Regardless constraint 3, given a problem with enormous computational requirement what would be the best approach to solve the problem. An algorithm reduces the problem; still the same algorithm may behave different depending on technology. Consider pros and cons of CLR vs native C.
