Spherical Voronoi diagram generating algorithm based on distance computation and comparison of Quaternary Triangular Mesh (QTM) has a higher precision relative to dilation algorithm. However, massive distance computation and comparison lead to low efficiency. To improve efficiency, Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) parallel computation was used to implement the algorithm. Then, the algorithm was optimized with respect to the access to GPU shared memory, constant memory and register. At last, an experimental system was developed by using C++ and Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) to compare the efficiency before and after the optimization. The experimental results show that efficiency can be improved to a great extent by using different GPU memories reasonably. In addition, a higher speed-up ratio can be acquired when the data scale is larger.
