    The extension of the functionality of CAD systems by applying new software solutions is subject of many research and development activities. In this paper concepts for new CAD system architectures are described, under special consideration of innovations in the field of computer technology in a problem-oriented way. Providing more functionality requires a higher performance of the computers which can be achieved by using parallel computer. Ways of parallel processing for CAD as well as methods developed for this purpose are shown. Finally, a functional unit with a hardware-aided supervision of parallel-accessed semantic data structures with accelerating features is depicted.

    Methods to increase the performance of advanced CAD systems, especially of geometric modellers, by parallel processing are represented in this paper. First, the exploration of parallelism in geometric modellers and the organization of the parallel processing are shown. Apart from that, it is hinted at the great portion of time for accessing model data and handling its structure-information. In this context a functional unit for parallel handling of model accesses is sketched out. Finally, the hardware architecture is described.
