摘要
A graphics adapter capable of supporting lighting models from multiple Application Programming, Interfaces (APIs) within a graphics system is disclosed. The graphics adapter includes a dot product machine and a control means. The dot product machine can perform geometry computations regardless of the API format in which the graphics data is expressed. The control means is utilized to multiplex between a set of graphics data having a first API format and a set of graphics data having a second API format in order to determine the inputs of the dot product machine. As a result, lighting models from multiple APIs can be supported by a single graphics adapter.
