Its function is to accept a sequence of octree node codes, from which the hidden nodes have been removed, and to partition it into sets of nodes which are suitable for a multiprocessor rendering stage. Each set is capable of being processed and displayed independently.10.1111/j.1467-8659.1990.tb00397.x205-211
