Abstract

Command sequences that form a meaningful unit in terms of syntax are integrated into drawing and environment contents corresponding to the type of command. Clusters are formed from the drawing contents and the environment contents required to process those drawing contents, and the clusters are assigned to processors, respectively. The assignment of the clusters to the processors is carried out on the basis of drawing loads and the efficient distribution of resource information. The processing results of the processors are recovered in the order in which the command sequences are produced, whereby the completeness of an image is assured.
