General purpose physics engine

Question

Is there any general purpose physics engine that allows huge simulations of rigid bodies? I'm using PhysX from Nvidia, but the focus of this engine is game development, soft bodies. I want to know if exists physics engine that runs on top of PS3 cell processors or CUDA cores allowing massive scientific physics simulations.

Answer 1

There is currently no silver bullet for this, i.e. no clearly established, winning technology. There are some promising reports, though:
