A system described herein includes a receiver component that receives a tree-structured dataset that includes multiple branches that are hierarchically related to one another. The system also includes an executor component that causes a programmable graphical processing unit to generate a Voronoi treemap based at least in part upon the tree-structured dataset, wherein the Voronoi treemap comprises a plurality of subareas that correspond to the multiple branches, and wherein the Voronoi treemap represents hierarchical relationships between the multiple branches.
