IWarp Display Module

Abstract

This report describes the design, fabrication, and testing of the IWARP display module. The display module is a custom circuit board designed specifically for the Intel iWarp processor. Software written during this development enables the board to generate video signals to drive a high- resolution color display, with images processed within the iWarp processor array. The module contains 4 megabytes of VRAM which will hold images of user- determined pixel depth and size. Image data are converted to analog video signals by the Inmos G364 color video controller chip. Image sizes can range from 1024 by 1024 24-bits-per-pixel true-color images to 1-bit-per-pixel monochrome images. As part of this development, several iWarp programs have been developed to aid in the use of the display. To the image processing application developer, data can be displayed with a simple one-line subroutine call. High- resolution displays, iWARP
