Abstract

We describe an efficient parallel algorithm for hidden-surface removal for terrain maps. The algorithm runs in O(log 4n) steps on the CREW PRAM model with a work bound of O((n+k)polylog( n)) where n and k are the input and output sizes, respectively. In order to achieve the work bound we use a number of techniques, among which our use of persistent data structures is somewhat novel in the context of parallel algorithms.
