A GLOBAL VISIBILITY CLASSIFIER BASED ON A MULTI-DSP SYSTEM

We present a classification algorithm for determination of global visibility relations. Results allow us to characterize visibility between any two points in 3D visibility space. Parallelism of computations is detected by data dependence analysis and leads to a parallel program. An experimental implementation of the classifier on a multi-DSP system (6 TMS320C40) is presented. Finally we discuss efficiency, scalability and dynamical load balancing of parallel computations.
