In computer graphics since objects atre constructed by lines and curves, the high-speed curve generator is indispensible for computer aided design and simulatation. Since the functions of graphic generation can be represented as a series of matrix operations, in this paper, two kind of the high-speed Bezier curve generator that uses matrix equation and a recursive relation for Bezier polynomials are designed. And B-spline curve generator is designed using interdependence of B-spline blending functions. As the result of the comparison of designed curve generator and reference [5], [6] in the operation time and number of operators, the curve generator with 1-dimensional systolic array processor for matrix vector operation that uses matrix equation for Bezier curve is more effective.
