Résumé
AGP System Architecture, Second Edition includes all
the essentials from the first edition, but has been
expanded and reorganized for even better coverage. This
comprehensive and concise book provides an overview of the
technology, a detailed description of the specification, a
discussion of AGP Pro, and a practical tutorial for
mastering AGP. In particular, it focuses on 3-D graphics
and video-related applications most served by AGP. It also
provides a primer for the PCI bus protocol as background
for a discussion on AGP and analyzes the advantages of AGP
over PCI for 3-D graphics. You will find coverage of the
following essential topics:
- AGP dynamic memory allocation and aperture
implementation
- The relationship of the Microsoft® Windows OS to the
AGP hardware environment
- AGP subsystem enumeration and configuration using the
Intel 440BX chipset as the example
- AGP signaling, including North Bridge/AGP adapter
interconnect examples
- AGP transfer types, transaction ordering rules, and the
Fence and Flush commands
- AGP arbitration, including a discussion of grant
pipelining optimization
- AGP data transactions in the 1x, 2x, and 4x data
transfer modes
- FastWrite transactions
- Use of turnaround cycles to prevent bus collisions
during back-to-back transactions
- The AGP Pro connector and card
This indispensable resource will enable you to understand
AGP tools, design a high-quality AGP device, and support
AGP in software applications.
The PC System Architecture Series is a crisply written and comprehensive set of guides to the most important PC hardware standards. Each title is designed to illustrate the relationship between the software and hardware, and thoroughly explains the architecture, features, and operation of systems built using the targeted technology.
