ABSTRACT:
A multichannel data path architecture which assists a host processor in communication with the frame buffer in order to increase the overall system performance. The architecture provides automatic frame buffer data path rearrangement depending on the pixel address and the host data interpretation. It utilizes a minimum of shift registers, accumulators and control circuitry to provide the requisite storage, reconfiguration and frame buffer access functions. The architecture extends bit-blt (bit block transfer) conventional operations in order to provide high quality "antialiased" text and graphics directly in the architecture without requiring the calculation of colors by the host processor. Finally, it assists the "burst" mode update of an arbitrary single plane of a frame buffer, which is especially important when high denisty chips are used for the frame buffer implemenation.
