Hardware considerations in the implementation of a segment display processor architecture

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5070710
The segment display processor (SDP) provides a general architecture for the processing and merging of multiple format graphics or image data on a raster scan output medium such as a CRT or laser scanner. The work addresses some of the issues relating to the development of a high performance implementation of the SDP as a hierarchical multiprocessor. Among the major considerations that are dealt with are representation of control and image data structures, interprocesor communications and bus structures, use of parallel and pipeline processor organization, and the design approach used for the logical interface to the host system. 14 references.
