Abstract

This paper proposes a new system for parallel solid voxelization using the multi-processor pipeline by slicing the program by forced interrupts. The proposed conceptual system provides a simple and effective solution to the on-the-fly parallel solid voxelization by relocating the portions of incoming data from processor to processor. It does not need conventional complicated parallel computing methods, such as load balancing, scheduling etc. This is exactly the advantage of this proposed system. Furthermore, the system only requires practically the same software as ordinary sequential solid voxelization algorithm.
