PLX FP: an efficient floating-point instruction set for 3D graphics
Xiao Bo Yang, R.B. Lee · 2005
3D graphics is an important component in the workload of today's computing platforms. Many ISA extensions for 3D graphics have been proposed and implemented. We describe PLX FP, a new floating-point extension to the PLX architecture, designed to support very efficiently the essential operations needed for the 3D graphics pipeline. Very high performance floating-point 3D graphics processing is achieved, using a low-cost PLX processor.
