            Abstract : 
We consider the following problem. Given a point z in the interior of a simple polygon P with n vertices, find all the boundary points of P that are "visible" from z. We present two parallel algorithms for this problem on a two dimensional reconfigurable mesh. The first algorithm runs in O(log2 n) timing using n1/2 processors, and the second one runs in O(1) time using n × n processors
