Abstract

Described is a display sub-system, designed for support of a very high speed rendering engine. It provides high-performance graphics to an environment that consists of a hierarchy of resizable windows. The concept of virtual memory has been applied with the organization of the virtual to physical address spaces having a unique mapping that fits the organization of a bit-mapped graphics memory display.
