Abstract
A high performance processor convenient for image synthesis is presented. The processor named CSI is programmable and can support either image synthesis by polygons or by ray casting. CSI consists of two 32- bits floating point processors as well as control facilities to support complex algorithm. CSI will be able to compute at a rate of 20 MFLOPS. Several processors can be arranged in a pipeline mode to perform the computation for image synthesis by polygons, or viewed as a set of co-processors connected to a bus and implementing efficiently image synthesis by ray casting algorithms.
