ABSTRACT:
An arithmetic processing unit in a graphics processor alternately executes a process of a first image processing which generates a main image of an application, i.e., a base image and a process of a second image processing which generates a display image eventually displayed by performing a desired processing of the base image. Processing time for the process of the first image processing is designated by a first process executing unit in a main processor which requests execution of the process of the first image processing. Processing time for the process of the second image processing is predetermined. The first process executing unit further determines an address of storage area in a frame buffer storing the base image and, upon determination, transmits to the second process executing unit which requests execution of the process of the second image processing.
