Abstract
A multi-function controller in a computer graphics system performs the functions of a graphics processor, a video processor, a system memory controller, a cache controller, and a PCI bridge. The multi-function controller is connected to the host bus of the computer graphics display system to maximize performance. A graphics frame buffer and a system memory are combined into a unified system memory, which is controlled by and coupled to the multi-function controller.
