A '''physics processing unit''' ('''PPU''') is a dedicated [[microprocessor]] designed to handle the calculations of [[physics]], especially in the [[physics engine]] of [[video game]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/5492-ageia-physx-ppu/|title=Ageia PhysX PPU}}</ref>
Examples of calculations involving a PPU might include [[rigid body dynamics]], [[soft body dynamics]], [[collision detection]], [[fluid dynamics]], hair and clothing simulation, [[finite element analysis]], and fracturing of objects.
