Dynamic RAM architectures for graphics applications

Published: 16 May 1983 Publication History

Abstract

This paper explores the requirements for future graphics memories and analyzes the requirements for two of the biggest problems in graphics terminal design, raster display bandwidth and random-bit update performance. To solve these problems a new access mode for dynamic RAMs called Ripplemode™ will be proposed. This mode directly solves the raster display bandwidth problem by providing high-speed access to a serial bit stream. Under certain circumstances this mode also improves the performance of random-bit updates.
