ABSTRACT: Computational models are beginning to play a significant role in design and manufacturing as well as in translational bio-medical applications, providing designers and clinicians with tools that aid in their decision making process. For widespread adoption, many of these computational models require better geometric algorithms that are computationally efficient and interactive. Krishnamurthy focuses on two main application areas of geometric algorithms that would integrate design and engineering analysis.Complex CAD operations were not previously interactive due to the compute-intensive nature of the geometric computations performed by the CAD system. Krishnamurthy and colleagues have developed geometric algorithms that are accelerated using Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).
