In recent days high perfermance graphic operation is needed, since computer graphics is widely used for computer-aided design and simulator using high resolution graphic card. In this paper a graphic accelerator is designd with the functions of graphic primitives generation and geometrical transformations. 1-D Systolic Array Processor for Matris Vector operation is designed and used in main ALU of a graphic accelerator, since these graphic algorithms have comonon operation of Matris Vector. Conclusively, in case that the resolution of graphic domain is 800$\times$600, and 33.3nsec operator is used in a graphic accelerator, 29732 lines per second and approximately 6244 circles per second is generated.

The conventional 3D graphic accelerator is mainly focused on high performance in the application area of computer graphic and 3D video game How ever the existing 3D architecture is not suitable for portable devices because of its huge power. So, we analyze the embedded 3D graphics renderer. After the analyzing, to reduce the power, triangle set-up stage and edge walking stage are executed sequentially while scan-line processing stage and span processing stage which control performance of 3D graphic accelerator are executed parallel.

Recently, processing burden of CPU is growing because of graphical user interface according to enhance the performance of mobile devices and various graphical effects and creation of contents with 3D graphical effect or Flash animation. Therefore, the GPU are introduced to mobile device for support to variety contents. In this paper, OpenVG accelerator was implemented based on multi-core GP-GPU. OpenVG accelerator is verified using the sample image provided by Khronos group, and overall function is processed by only instruction set without dedicate hardware. The performance of processing the Tiger Image was 2 frames/sec.

This paper describes a design of low-power/small-area arithmetic circuits which are vector processing unit powering nit, divider unit and square-root unit for mobile 3D graphic accelerator. To achieve area-efficient and low-power implementation that is an essential consideration for mobile environment, the fixed-point f[mat of 16.16 is adopted instead of conventional floating-point format. The vector processing unit is designed using redundant binary(RB) arithmetic. As a result, it can operate 30% faster and obtained gate count reduction of 10%, compared to the conventional methods which consist of four multipliers and three adders. The powering nit, divider unit and square-root nit are based on logarithm number system. The binary-to-logarithm converter is designed using combinational logic based on six-region approximation method. So, the powering mit, divider unit and square-root unit reduce gate count when compared with lookup table implementation.

포항가속기(PLS) 제어시스템은 선형가속기와 저장 링 제어시스템으로 분산 독립형으로 운영되어 왔다. 각각의 제어시스템의 구성상 상이한 H/W, S/W구조로 인하여 통합제어의 실현을 구현하지 못하여, 빔 운영상의 두 곳의 운전 감시업무로 인한 인력소요의 낭비를 초래하였다. 이러한 점을 개선하기 위한 선형가속기 및 저장 링 제어시스템의 제어알고리즘의 장점만 살려, 통합운전에 필수적으로 필요한 제어 분야만 새롭게 설계된 개선된 제어시스템에 적용하였다. 개선된 제어시스템의 구성은 디바이스제어에서 GUI(Graphic User Interface)단계까지의 3단계의 제어구조에서 SCC(Subsystem Computer Control System)를 생략한 디바이스 제어 컴퓨터와 GUI실현을 위한 상위 컴퓨터로 운영되고 있다. 디바이스 제어 컴퓨터는 VMEbus 구조의 OS-9 ver3.03 real-time OS가 적용되어 있으며, 상위는 SUN Workstation 환경에 UNIX 운영체제에 Rtworks가 적용되었다.

There have been many researches on the 3D graphic accelerator for high speed by needs of CAD/CAM,3D modeling, virtual reality or medical image. In this paper, an SIMD processor architecture for 3D graphic accelerator is proposed in order to improve the processing time of the 3D graphics, and a parallel Phong shading algorithm is presented to estimate performance of the proposed architecture. The proposed SIMD processor architecture for 3D graphic accelerator consists of PCI local bus interface, 16 Processing Elements (PE's), and Park's multi-access memory system (NAMS) that has 17 memory modules. A serial algorithm for Phong shading is modified for the architecture and the main key is to divide a polygon into $4\times{4}$ squares. And, for processing a square, 4 PE's are regarded as a PE Grou logically. Since MAMS can support block access type with interval 1, it is possible that 4 PE Groups process a square at a time. In consequence, 16 pixels are processed simultaneously. The proposed SIMD processor architecture is simulated by CADENCE Verilog-XL that is a package for the hardware simulation. With the same simulated results as that of the serial algorithm, the speed enhancement by the parallel algorithm to the serial one is 5.68.

In this paper, we propose a graphic system for high speed generation of bitmap font data from the outline font data such as PostScript, etc. In desk-top publishing system. A VLSI chip called KAFOG was designed for the high-speed calculation of a cubic Bezier curve, which was implemented in 1.5\ulcorner CMOS gate array using 17,000 gates. A cubic Bezier curve is approximated by a set of line segments in KAFOG at the throughput of 250K curves per second with the clock frequency of 40 MHz. A prototype graphic system was developed using two MC6800 microprocessors and the KAFOG chip. Two microprocessors cooperate in a master and slave mode, and handshaking is used for communication between two processors. KAFOG chip, being controlled by the slave processor, operates as a coprocessor for the calculation of the outline font. The throughput of the prototype graphic system is 40 64$\times$64 outline fonts per sencond.

As the performance of recent mobile systems increases, a vector graphic has been implemented to represent various types of dynamic menus, mails, and two-dimensional maps. This paper proposes a hardware accelerator for open vector graphics (OpenVG), which is widely used for two-dimensional vector graphics. We analyze the specifications of an OpenVG and divide the OpenVG into several functions suitable for hardware implementation. The proposed hardware accelerator is implemented on a field programmable gate array (FPGA) board using hardware description language (HDL) and is about four times faster than an Alex processor.

There are many algorithms for 2D to 3D graphic conversion technology which have the high complexity and large scale of iterative computation. So in this paper propose parallel algorithm and high speed graphics accelerator architecture using Park's MAMS(Multiple Access Memory System) for Phong Shading, one of many 3D algorithms. The Proposed SIMD processor architecture is simulated by HDL and simulated and got 30 times faster result. It means any kinds of 3D algorithm can make parallel algorithm and accelerated by SIMD processor with Park's MAMS for real time processing.
