Abstract :
A graphic processor, featuring 320-Mb/s bit BLT (bit boundary block transfer) speed, was developed using a novel memory cycle scheme. The key to the system design is a C/Unix-based RTL simulator program, which replaced breadboard hardware. The authors describe the BMCP architecture, the design step, and the design methodology
