Abstract
This paper proposes the cache-mesh, a dynamic mesh data structure in 3D that allows modifications of stored topological relations effortlessly. The cache-mesh can adapt to arbitrary problems and provide fast retrieval to the most-referred-to topological relations. This adaptation requires trivial extra effort in implementation with the cache-mesh, whereas it may require tremendous effort using traditional meshes. The cache-mesh also gives a further boost to the performance with parallel mesh processing by caching the partition of the mesh into independent sets. This is an additional advantage of the cache-mesh, and the extra work for caching is also trivial. Though it appears that it takes effort for initial implementation, building the cache-mesh is comparable to a traditional mesh in terms of implementation.
