As the number of cores on a chip increases, power consumed by the communication structures takes significant portion of the overall power-budget. The individual components of the...
Given a 3D solid model S represented by a tetrahedral mesh, we describe a novel algorithm to compute a hierarchy of convex polyhedra that tightly enclose S. The hierarchy can be b...
