bullet on GPU
Where can I find some tutorials on OpenCL programming with bullet ?

Re: bullet on GPU
Nowhere 
. Best thing you can do is go over the CL demos in the latest bullet release. Granted it can be a challenge to figure out exactly how they are doing what they do, but ideally a user of the bullet engine wouldn't really need to know or care much about these inner workings once OpenCL gets a formal integration into the engine (bullet 3.xx?).
You can also check out plain OpenCL tutorials. I found http://www.macresearch.org/opencl to be a great resource in this regard (granted, it's mac-centric).

Re: bullet on GPU
Currently, there are some small OpenCL and DirectCompute (DX11) cloth and particle demos in
bullet-2.78/Demos/OpenCLClothDemo and Bullet/Demos
bullet-2.78/Demos/DX11ClothDemo
We are doing R&D in GPU acceleration for the rigid body physics pipeline, and this will be released in Bullet 3.x. No release date yet: "when its done".
Thanks,
Erwin

Re: bullet on GPU
Thank Erwin and dphil
I find it difficult to rewrite narrow-phase or broad-phase classes to support GPU acceleration for me
Should I wait until the appearance of bullet 3.x or change my concentration to some other engine? I wonder -_-///
