    摘要: In order to reduce degradation of the processing performance of the data processor due to use of a part of the main memory as a display frame buffer, when an access request to the memory 200 is generated from the CPU 310, the memory controller 400 holds it once, requests the display controller 560 to stop the access to the memory 200 which is in execution, when data to the access executed already is transferred from the memory 200, holds it, and transfers the access request from the CPU bus 310 which is held by the memory 200. When the access from the CPU bus 310 ends, the memory controller 400 restarts the access stopped in the display controller 560 and passes the held data to the display controller 560.

    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.

    摘要: In a data processor and a shading apparatus used in the data processor, the data processor selects an address based on the information of a memory or a translation look-aside buffer. Therefore, even when the same data are accessed, a different address at high speed is adopted according to the hardware, object to be processed, processing, etc. A plurality of geometric vectors are given as the parameters for the vertexes of a picture, the vectors are interpolated in the picture, and the luminance of each small area in the figure is calculated using the vectors generated by the interpolation. Therefore, a spotlight or highlight can be expressed with high accuracy and at high speed even when the amount of the hardware and the extent of the picture are small.
