Abstract

We report on experiments on the performance of various geometry kernels for the two-dimensional convex hull problem. We consider how programming techniques and the choice of geometric representation affect performance. In particular we investigate the cost of exact computation. We use C++ as the implementation language. Our experiments are largely based on CGAL.
