Abstract :
Increasingly, 3D graphics is becoming the rule rather than the exception in applications such as games, CAD/CAM, and video production. Some LSIs provide rendering capabilities, but require an additional CPU to perform essential geometry transformations. Fujitsu´s chip set solves that problem using two processors to render 300,000 polygons per second (for flat-shaded triangles with texture)-performance comparable to that of advanced game machines
