    摘要: A system for managing the control of a bi-directional data bus between a master unit and a slave unit. The master couples to the slave through a request opcode bus, a reply opcode bus and the data bus. If the master is in a bus driving state (with respect to the data bus) and receives a read request, the master relinquishes bus control and sends a read request through the request opcode bus. The slave unit assumes bus control and sends the requested data through the data bus. If the master is in a bus sensing state and receives a write request, the master sends a last read opcode to the slave via the request opcode bus, and waits for the slave to return a special token through the reply opcode bus. Upon receiving the special token the master unit assumes bus control and performs the write transaction.

    摘要: A method and computer graphics system capable of implementing multiple pipelines for the parallel processing of graphics data. For certain data, a requirement may exist that the data be processed in order. The graphics system may use a set of tokens to reliably switch between ordered and unordered data modes. Furthermore, the graphics system may be capable of super-sampling and performing real-time convolution. In one embodiment, the computer graphics system may comprise a graphics processor, a sample buffer, and a sample-to-pixel calculation unit. The graphics processor may be configured to receive graphics data and to generate a plurality of samples for each of a plurality of frames. The sample buffer, which is coupled to the graphics processor, may be configured to store the samples. The sample-to-pixel calculation unit is programmable to generate a plurality of output pixels by filtering the rendered samples using a filter.
