Object Oriented Raster Displays

摘要

This paper describes a special-purpose MOS/LSI memory device and its design. This device was designed as an attempt to speed up the display and animation of multicolor raster display images, and is highly specialized to that task. Generalizations of the approach taken would be suitable, and possibly economical for geometrical computations encountered in the course of manipulating integrated circuit layouts, such as design rule checking. These generalizations will be discussed as will the design and implementation of this particular chip.
