ABSTRACT:
A modeling section and geometry processing section collectively generate draw data used for a series of draw processing, and a control section transfers the generated draw data to a multi-path buffer. The draw processing is executed, under control of the control section, when a multi-path controller serially reads out the draw data stored in the multi-path buffer and outputs them to a rendering engine. This successfully saves the band width necessary for transfer of the draw data from a main processor to a graphic processor, and relieve the main processor from the process load.
