Abstract
The optimal polygon triangulation problem for a convex polygon is an optimization problem to find a triangulation with minimum total weight. It is known that this problem can be solved using the dynamic programming technique in \(O(n^3)\) time. The main contribution of this paper is to present an efficient parallel implementation of this \(O(n^3)\)-time algorithm for a lot of instances on the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). In our proposed GPU implementation, we focused on the computation for a lot of instances and considered programming issues of the GPU architecture such as coalesced access of the global memory, warp divergence. Our implementation solves the optimal polygon triangulation problem for 1024 convex 1024-gons in 4.77 s on the NVIDIA TITAN X, while a conventional CPU implementation runs in 241.53 s. Thus, our GPU implementation attains a speedup factor of 50.6.
