GEOMETRIC PROCESSING SYSTEM UTILIZING MULTIPLE IDENTICAL PROCESSORS

A graphic display system uses a plurality of identical processor units each of which is controlled by microcode to perform a particular function in transforming, clipping, and scaling geometric data for presentation on a display. Each processor includes a plurality of function units which can operate independently, in parallel, or in master-slave mode. Each function unit comprises a plurality of one bit slice circuits which can be fabricated using VLSI techniques. Each one bit slice includes a multilevel memory which collectively provide a dispersed stack for the function unit.
