Abstract
A system and method for decoupling graphics operations from a host processor to improve the efficiency of graphics rendering and free the host processor for other essential tasks. A processing system includes a host processor, a memory, a display list processor (DLP), graphics accelerators and display hardware. The host processor builds display lists generated by graphics applications and stores the display lists in the memory. The display lists include hardware function directives and control directives. The DLP accesses the memory to process the display lists, issuing the hardware function directives to the accelerators to generate display data.
