Vector graphics accelerator hardware system

摘要

[Challenge] By designing hardware for each pipeline of the open vector graphics in the application processor, and also improve the execution performance of the vector graphic processing, by supporting the OpenVG API, which is established as the standard, the present invention is the software conventionally Vector graphics accelerator hardware system that can be used without conversion of the separate OpenVG vector content that was used in the rendering process, the application processor including the accelerator, and provides graphics acceleration method in the processor. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] Hardware graphics accelerator includes a graphic processing module operatively coupled to the controller. In order to perform the 2D vector graphics acceleration according to the instructions at least one word that is received from the control unit, the graphics processing module, rasterizing setup module, which is linked together by a pipeline structure, scissor test module, a paint generation module, the alpha mask including at least one of modules and blending.
