A hardware accelerator for 3D ren&ring, based on a mcdifkd scanline algorithm, is
presented. The accelerator renders multiple scanlines in parallel with high efficiency, and is
optimized for integration into systems that suppr [ high speed data streams (such as video).
The architecture has a very high performance/cost ratio, but maintains a low entry cost and a
high degree of scalability—key issues for incorporation in personal computers. The
performance of both the general algorithm and the prototype implementation is analyzed.
