摘要:
In a logic circuit having a plurality of clocked state latches (SRL) and combinatorial logic for functional processing of a task in response to functional clocking C′-B′ of the state latches, the state latches are additionally interconnected to form a scannable chain of latches, and task switching logic 12,14 is provided for suspending task processing by interrupting the functional clocking C′-B′ of the state latches and, during said suspension, for scanning the state latches such that existing contents of the state latches defining a task state can be saved from the state latches and/or new contents defining a task state can be loaded into the state latches. The invention provides an efficient means for switching tasks being performd by a logic circuit in a multiprocessing environment.

A graphics processor including an interface 30 for providing triangle primitives representing a graphics image includes a triangle interpolator 310 coupled to the interface for interpolating a triangle primitive and serially computing multiple line primitives from the triangle primitive. A line renderer 320 coupled to the receives a line primitive from the triangle interpolator and provides pixels representing the line primitive while the triangle interpolator is computing another line primitive.

A memory system including a circuit for receiving and serially storing a plurality of instructions and a plurality of buffer memories each including a buffer controller 800, 820 for regulating access to that buffer. Also included is a circuit 830, connected to each buffer controller and said receiving circuit, for accessing one or more of said buffers in response to a first serially stored instruction while, in response to at least one other serially stored instruction, accessing at least one remaining buffer.
摘要:
A graphics processor including an interface for providing triangle primitives and line primitives representing a graphical image, a line drawer for receiving line primitives and for rendering the line primitives, and a triangle interpolator for receiving the triangle primitives from the interface and for providing line primitives therefrom to the line drawer, wherein the interface includes a register for storing graphics image line primitives and for selectively providing the stored line primitives to the line drawer.
摘要:
A color display device which includes dither apparatus for each primary color to be displayed. A dither matrix provides a dither signal output as a function of the position of a pixel on the color display device. An input primary color signal includes an integer signal and a fraction signal. The integer signal is incremented by an incrementer. There is means for providing an output primary color signal which is the incremented signal whenever a predetermined relationship exists between the dither signal and the fraction signal, and which is the integer signal whenever the predetermined relationship does not exist.

A data processing system is provided that includes a plurality of processors each including a circuit for providing a busy signal. The system also includes a plurality of registers for storing data wherein each register is dedicated to a selected processor or a selected set of processors. A control circuit is provided for receiving the busy signals and prohibiting storage from an external device to the registers dedicated a processor when that processor provides a busy signal.
