Abstract
The geometric processing stage in a computer graphic system is generally realised in VLSI or dedicated hardware, this paper describes the use of a Digital Signal Processor (DSP). By using a programmable DSP the hardware design effort is displaced into software. Using a single DSP in a co-processor configuration the speed of the vertex processing stage within the geometric processor is increased by a factor of five compared to a high performance microprocessor. The use of DSPs in a multi-processor system is also discussed.
