초록

In this paper, we propose the hardware architecture to accelerate 2D Vector graphics process for mobile devices. we propose the Transformation Unit Architecture that considerates the operation dependency. It has 3 cycles excution time and uses 2 multipliers and 2 adders. Proposed paint generation unit uses a LUT method, so it does not execute color interpolation which needs to be calculated every time. The proposed OpenVG 1.0 Accelerator achieved a 2.85 times faster performance in a tiger model.
