Voronoi Benchmark

Benchmark Details

From the topological perspective Delaunay triangulation is a dual data structure to the Voronoi diagram, thus libraries that provide Delaunay triangulation construction routines were also included into the benchmark. However, from the computation perspective Voronoi diagram contains more information as it embeds information regarding the coordinates of the centers of the inscribed circles tangent to the three or more input geometries.
The benchmark consists of the two parts:
  1. construction of the Voronoi diagram / Delaunay triangulation of a set of random points uniformly distributed over 32-bit integer grid (voronoi_benchmark_points.cpp)
  2. construction of the Voronoi diagram / Delaunay triangulation of a set of random non-intersecting segments uniformly distributed over 32-bit integer grid (voronoi_benchmark_segments.cpp).
