Abstract: 
Use of compressed mesh in rendering%29&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>parallel rendering architecture is still an unexplored area, the main challenge of which is to partition and sort the encoded mesh in compression-domain. This paper presents a mesh compression scheme PRMC (rendering%29&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>parallel rendering based Mesh Compression) supplying encoded meshes that can be partitioned and sorted in rendering%29&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>parallel rendering system even in encoded-domain. First, we segment the mesh into submeshes and clip the submeshes’ boundary into Runs, and then piecewise compress the submeshes and Runs respectively. With the help of several auxiliary index tables, compressed submeshes and Runs can serve as rendering primitives in rendering%29&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>parallel rendering system. Based on PRMC, we design and implement a rendering%29&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>parallel rendering architecture. Compared with uncompressed representation, experimental results showed that PRMC meshes applied in cluster rendering%29&ck%5B%5D=abstract&ck%5B%5D=keyword'>parallel rendering system can dramatically reduce the communication requirement.
