A HARDWARE APPROACH TO THE CORE SYSTEM OF ACM/SIGGRAPH
Möller, Gerd · Eurographics · 1981
A new structure of the picture generation pipeline for a high-performance vector refresh graphic system is proposed. This pipeline consists of a graphic processor calculating the viewing transformations, a refresh buffer storing the partly-transformed display-file, a display processor controlling the refresh, a transformation generator calculating the image transformations and a digital vector and character generator. The realization and the advantages of this graphic system are described.
