摘要： An apparatus and method for counting event signals generated by a computer system is described. The event signals are indicative of the performance of the computer system. Programmable logic enhances the functionality of performance counters by enabling the system user to specify, during the execution of an application program, which event signals to count. The system user can dynamically configure the programmable logic to select a subset of the event signals generated by the computer system, and to combine the selected subset of event signals to generate a new event signal that can be counted. Other new event signals can be generated by the programmable logic from the selected subset of event signals. A user of the computer system can dynamically make the selection of any one of the new event signals for counting.

摘要： A graphics system for storing and editing graphic images represented by digital data, includes a frame memory for storing pixel data representing graphic images including first and second graphic objects. The pixel data is stored at addresses, each being associated with one or more graphic fragment forming the first and second graphic objects. First and second addresses are respectively associated with those of the graphic fragments forming the first and second graphic objects. A memory controller controls writing and reading the pixel data to and from the frame memory. A fragment editor is provided to receive the pixel data read from the first address and modify the associated fragment with the received pixel data so as to form modified pixel data. An address detector detects the first address responsive to a request to read the pixel data from the first address and the second address responsive to a subsequent request to read pixel data from the second address. The detector compares the detected first and second addresses to identify an overlap of the first and second graphic objects. If an overlap is identified, the controller controls the writing of the modified pixel data to the first address before the reading of the pixel data from the second address.

摘要： A computer graphics system renders an image on a display device using improved pre-filtering techniques that minimize aliasing artifacts in the image, particularly at the endpoints of lines. To anti-alias the image, a plurality of edges are placed near a line in the image. An edge function represents the edge. This edge function is multiplied by a scale factor to produce a distance function. This scale factor is the reciprocal of the Euclidean length of the line. The distance function is evaluated to determine the distance of selected pixels from each edge in units of pixels. These distances determine the intensity value for each selected pixel. Pixels on or beyond an edge, with respect to the line, are given a minimum intensity value; pixels inside all edges are given intensity values corresponding to their distances from the edge. An intensity function describing a relationship between pixel distances from the edges and their corresponding intensity values is developed. The intensity function can be implemented in a look-up table or approximated with hardware.

摘要： A method and an apparatus reduces aliasing artifacts in images defined by pixels. A pixel is partitioned into subpixel locations from which sample points are selected. A fragment of the image is determined to be visible at at least one of the sample points. A fragment value associated with that fragment is stored. Each sample point at which the fragment is visible is linked to the stored fragment value. A color of the pixel is computed from the stored fragment values to reduce the aliasing artifacts in the image.

摘要： A computing system performs non-restoring division. Quotient selection logic selects quotient digits that are used to produce a final quotient. The quotient digits are selected according to a predetermined relationship among certain bits of the divisor and the partial remainder. Only non-zero quotient digits are selected. A quotient accumulator combines each selected quotient digit with a current partial quotient concurrently while each quotient digit is selected. The quotient digits are selected and combined until the final quotient is produced.

摘要： A computer graphics system maps textures to displayed anti-aliased images with surfaces defined at oblique angles to the viewer. A circular pixel filter is projected onto a texture map to define an elliptical footprint in that texture map. The elliptical footprint has a major axis. Sample points are determined on a line in the footprint that closely approximates the major axis. These sample points are mapped to levels of detail and locations within a mip-map. Using a space-invariant filter, a texture value is computed for each sample point using data from one or more texture maps within the mip-map. These texture values for the sample points are post-filtered using a Gaussian filter function and summed to produce a final texture value. Blending the final texture with other characteristics of the pixel a produces the pixel data that are displayed on a display screen.

摘要： A method and an apparatus determine a color for pixels in a graphics system in which images are defined by pixels. Multiple fragments of an image may be visible in any given pixel. Each visible fragment has a fragment value that includes the color of that fragment. For such given pixel, up to a predetermined number of the fragment values are stored. When a new fragment is visible in the given pixel, one of the fragment values is discarded to determine which fragment values are stored and subsequently used to generate the color of the pixel. The discarded fragment value may be the new fragment value or one of the stored fragment values. Various strategies can be used to determine which fragment value is discarded. One such scheme selects the stored fragment value with the greatest Z-depth. Another scheme selects the stored fragment value that produces the smallest color difference from the new fragment value. Still another scheme selects the new fragment value when one of the fragments is in front of the new fragment and the stored fragment value of that fragment produces the smallest color difference from the new fragment value.
摘要翻译：方法和装置确定图像系统中的像素的颜色，其中图像由像素定义。图像的多个片段可能在任何给定像素中可见。每个可见片段都具有包含该片段颜色的片段值。对于这样的给定像素，直到预定数量的片段值被存储。当在给定像素中可见新的片段时，丢弃其中一个片段值，以确定哪些片段值被存储并随后用于生成像素的颜色。丢弃的片段值可以是新的片段值或存储的片段值之一。可以使用各种策略来确定哪个片段值被丢弃。一种这样的方案选择具有最大Z深度的存储的片段值。另一种方案从新片段值中选择产生最小色差的存储片段值。当其中一个片段位于新片段前面时，另一个方案选择新片段值，并且该片段的存储片段值产生与新片段值最小的色差。
