摘要: A new computational paradigm is described which offers the possibility of superlinear (and sometimes unbounded) speedup, when parallel computation used. The computations involved are subject only to given mathematical constraints and hence do not depend on external circumstances achieve performance. focus here geometric transformations. Given a object with some property, it required transform into another B enjoys same property. If transformation requires several steps, each resulting in an intermediate object, then these objects must also obey We show that transforming one triangulation polygon another, algorithm achieves speedup. In case where convex decomposition set points be transformed, improvement performance unbounded, meaning succeeds solving problem as posed, while all sequential algorithms fail.
