Abstract
In this chapter we present some well-known algorithms for the solution of the point location problem and for the more particular problem of point-in-polygon determination. These previous approaches to the problem are presented in the first sections. In the remainder of the paper, we present a quick location algorithm based on a quaternary partition of the space, as well as its associated computational cost.

IA Algorithm Acceleration Using GPUs
In computer graphics field, it refers to a clearly defined point in a tridimensional space, which is processed by Graphics Pipeline. Relationships can be established between those vertices (like triangles) to assembly structures that define a tridimensional object. Talking about GPGPU, an vertex array can be considered as a data stream
