Abstract

Presents a fast parallel solution to the convex hull problem on a two dimensional reconfigurable mesh. The parallel algorithm computes the convex hull of N/sup 1/2/ planar points on a N/sup 1/2/*N/sup 1/2/ reconfigurable mesh. The algorithm is very efficient and completes the convex hull computation in O(1) time. Efficient parallel sorting of N/sup 1/2/ data items on the reconfigurable mesh and improved parallel enumerating techniques utilized as basic steps in the convex hull computation are also shown.
