Abstract

The problem of generation and reduction of an iso-surface on a large ( ~10⁹ nodes) mesh of tetrahedra is considered. At each node of the mesh, the value of a continuous scalar field is specified. The field is linearly interpolated within each tetrahedrom. Implementations are proposed for parallel algorithms of isosurface generation, aimed on many-core hardware architectures. GPU implementations are also considered.
