parallel_convex_hull

Parallel implementation of divide et impera algorithm for convex hull

Note: unfortunately there are some weird formatting problems (tabs) in some sections of the code on GitHub probably due to the fact that some sections of the code were developed directly on the High-Performance Computing cluster @ UniTrento
