Architecture of a Graphics Processor

The design principles that were applied in the design of the integer-RISC machine, are applied to the design of the Reduced Instruction Set Graphics Processor. The processor instruction is defined after critical evaluation of the common graphics operations. Single cycle operations (in a pure RISC style) are performed through instructions for primitive graphics as well as general purpose computations. This processor is envisioned to become the CPU of choice for the ergonomic applications that rely heavily on graphics capabilities for user interface bandwidth improvement. The motivation for integrating graphics with general-purpose computations sterns from the performance enhancement acheived due to increased integration levels, and the program portability offered by a single processor based systems.
