Parallel Processing on a Transputer-based Graphics Board

Abstract

This paper discusses the design of a graphics board with parallel architecture based on Transputers and a resolution of 1024 × 1024 × 8 [VIN88], namely: Ihe processing unit (it plays the role of a display processor), the organization of the frame buffer and the video output hardware which includes the video controller and a RAMDAC (lookup-table + DACs).
