    摘要: The basic section of the multimedia data-processing system includes a CPU 1100, an image display unit 2100, a unified memory 1200, a system bus 1920, and devices 1300, 1400, and 1500 connected to the system bus. In this configuration, the CPU is formed on an LSI mounted on a single silicon wafer including instruction processing unit 1110 and display control unit 1140. Main storage area 1210 and display area 1220 are stored within the unified memory. Unified memory port 1910 for connecting the corresponding LSI and the unified memory is provided independently of the system bus intended to connect the LSI and the input/output devices. The unified memory port can be driven faster than system bus.

    摘要: A memory controller is disclosed, in which upon receipt of an access request from a device, the memory controller activates a page designated by a row address of a first bank at a predetermined memory cycle, based on the access request. After that, before the read access to a page of the first bank, a second bank next to be accessed is precharged. In the case where a page mishit occurs due to the access from the first bank to the second bank by the graphic processing after the access to the first bank by the read operation, the memory controller activates the second bank immediately without precharging.

    摘要: A graphic processor including a rendering control circuit which carries out weighted averaging on pieces of pixel data of source image information arranged to form a pixel-data matrix corresponding to a pixel matrix with columns of the pixel-data matrix being oriented perpendicularly to a scanning direction in order to compute a weighted average of pieces of pixel data on rows of the pixel-data matrix adjacent to each other and on a column of the pixel-data matrix perpendicular to the scanning direction in so-called blend processing. The rendering control circuit reads out pieces of pixel data from the pixel-data matrix sequentially in a direction perpendicular to the scanning direction and computes a weighted average of the pieces of data. Image data subjected to blend processing is displayed by adopting an interlace scanning technique thereby eliminating undesired flicker.

    摘要: An image processor which is connected to a system bus that connects a processor for forming graphic command related to image processing to a main memory that holds command and original image data, and draws image on the frame buffer based upon said graphic command from said processor, wherein said graphic processor has a data bus change-over unit which connects said system bus to a first data bus that is connected to a graphic data memory holding said graphic command and said original image data, or connects said first data bus to a frame buffer which holds the data to be displayed. The image processor realizes a high-speed processing at a reduced cost by using a graphic memory bus coupled to a graphic processor.

    摘要: In order to assure that a plurality of circuits such as a CPU I/F circuit, a rendering circuit, a video input circuit and a display circuit, which are each required to always complete a processing within a prescribed time, are each assured the ability to make as many accesses to a memory as required to complete the processing within the prescribed time, it is necessary to arbitrate a contention for an access to the memory through an internal bus among the circuits by employing a bus control circuit wherein priority levels assigned to the circuits to make an access to the internal bus are dynamically changed by comparing degrees of access urgency among the circuits. In this way, circuits that each have to always complete theirs processing within a prescribed time are assured the ability to make as many accesses to the memory as required to complete the processing within the prescribed time even if a plurality of such circuits do exist.
