CUDA port of OpenSteer now public
During the last months I was busy writing my bachelor's thesis about parallelizing the [OpenSteer](http://opensteer.sf.net) toolkit using [NVIDIA's CUDA](http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_home.html) technology to make use of the power of today's GPUs.

OpenSteer is an open-source toolkit to test and simulate [steering behaviors of autonomous characters](http://www.red3d.com/cwr/steer/) in animations or video games. Steering behaviors are responsible
to navigate a character around its world in a natural way while reacting on influences of its environment, for example to avoid collisions with obstacles.
The source code of this port is now available on [github](http://github.com/simonboots/OpenSteerCUDA/).
My bachelor's thesis about this project is also available and can be found [here](http://www.stiefels.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Parallelizing-the-OpenSteer-toolkit-using-GPUs.pdf).
