  • Abstract
    Data-parallel algorithms for R-trees, a common spatial data structure are presented, in the domain of planar line segment data (e.g., Bureau of the Census TIGER/Line files). Parallel algorithms for both building the data-parallel R-tree, as well as determining the closed polygons formed by the line segments, are described and implemented using the SAM (Scan-And-Monotonic-mapping) model of parallel computation on the hypercube architecture of the Connection Machine.
