CGAL users discussion list

[Edoardo Milotti <>]

I have two questions on CGAL developments: 

- I have just installed the latest version of the Intel compiler (11.1/088), 
and it seems that compatibility with CGAL-3.6 is even worse than it was 
before (although the Intel compiler could not compile the libraries, it did 
compile the headers included by my program, so that I could compile the 
program with the icpc and link the gcc-compiled library; now this is broken). 
Are there any plans to include the Intel compiler in the list of supported 
compilers? 

- I use Delaunay triangulations and alpha shapes with very large sets of 
points (more than one million points), and my code would greatly profit from 
a parallel implementation of the triangulation methods (with OpenMP and/or 
MPI). The paper by Batista et al. "Parallel Multi-Core Geometric Algorithms 
in CGAL" discusses some methods that should be implemented in a parallel mode 
for CGAL: are there plans for a future release? 

Thank you. 

Best wishes,
