VLSI Architecture for Anti-Aliasing
(The Eurographics Association, 1989)
Computer-synthesized images exhibit the typical artifacts of raster displays, called alias ing, rastering, staircasing or the "jaggies". Display of an image on a raster CRT requires the sampling the two dimensional image ...
Two-level Pipelining of Systolic Array Graphics Engines
(The Eurographics Association, 1989)
In a systolic array, the maximum operating speed is determined by the most complex operation performed. In a systolic army graphics engine, capable of generating high quality images, one has to perform complex operations ...
Towards a Taxonomy for Display Processors
(The Eurographics Association, 1989)
Image generation for raster displays proceeds in two main steps: geometry processing and pixel processing. The snbsystem performing the pixel processing is called display processor.In the paper a model for the displa.y ...
A Distributed Frame Buffer within a Window-Oriented High Performance Graphics System
(The Eurographics Association, 1989)
Today's workstation users demand high computational performance combined with powerful graphics and a comfortable window system. Existing and forthcoming standards like OKS-3D, PHIOS/PHIGS+, X Window System, and PEX have ...
A Dedicated Graphics Processor SIGHT-2
(The Eurographics Association, 1989)
SIGHT-2 is a multiprocessor system that is intended to efficiently execute the ray tracing algorithm. To achieve high efficiency, three kinds of parallel execution mechanisms; (i) a multiprocessor configuration, (ii) a ...
A Chinese-Character and Graphics Workstation
(The Eurographics Association, 1989)
This paper introduces the design approaches of a Chinese-character and graphics workstation OOS-80OO which has been developed at the Computer Graphics Research Laboratory, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, ...
Viewing and Rendering Processor for a Volume Visualization System
(The Eurographics Association, 1989)
The architecture and the hardware realization of the 3D Viewing and Rendering Pro cessor is presented. This processor is a component of the Cube architecture, developed primarily for volume visualiza.tion. The processor ...
PS: Polygon Streams A Distributed Architecture for Incremental Computation Applied to Graphics
(The Eurographics Association, 1989)
Polygon Streams is a distributed system with multiple processors a.nd strictly local communication. A unique custom VLSI chip that constitutes an independent processing module forms a stage of the PS pipeline. The number ...
A Hardware Algorithm for Fast Realistic Image Synthesis
(The Eurographics Association, 1989)
A VLSI oriented algorithm, for the implementation of a generalized two-pass radiosity method is presented. The method allows any reflection behavior, varying from purely diffuse to perfect mirroring. Moreover, objects may ...
A Generalised Parallel Architecture for Image Based Algorithms
(The Eurographics Association, 1989)
Real time image generation and image understanding require levels of computing power, that are beyond that available from conventional sequential machines. Current commercially available systems aimed at this area make use ...
