Abstract: A CPU module includes a host element configured to perform a high-level host-related task, and one or more data-generating processing elements configured to perform a data-generating task associated with the high-level host-related task. Each data-generating processing element includes logic configured to receive input data, and logic configured to process the input data to produce output data. The amount of output data is greater than an amount of input data, and the ratio of the amount of input data to the amount of output data defines a decompression ratio. In one implementation, the high-level host-related task performed by the host element pertains to a high-level graphics processing task, and the data-generating task pertains to the generation of geometry data (such as triangle vertices) for use within the high-level graphics processing task. The CPU module can transfer the output data to a GPU module via at least one locked set of a cache memory. The GPU retrieves the output data from the locked set, and periodically forwards a tail pointer to a cacheable location within the data-generating elements that informs the data-generating elements of its progress in retrieving the output data

Abstract: An approach to outputting 256-color pixel data more quickly than conventional systems is provided. In this approach, a word of data encoding a color bit map for up to eight pixels may be stored in a system buffer and then written to a video adapter. The video adapter is configured such that color codes for multiple pixels may be simultaneously written into the planes of the display memory of the adapter. As a result, 256-color pixel data may be more quickly drawn on a video display than in conventional systems.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种比传统系统更快速地输出256色像素数据的方法。 在这种方法中，将编码最多八个像素的彩色位图的数据字可以存储在系统缓冲器中，然后写入视频适配器。 视频适配器被配置为使得可以将多个像素的颜色代码同时写入适配器的显示存储器的平面中。 结果，在常规系统中，可以在视频显示器上更快速地绘制256色像素数据。
