	Advanced Graphics Architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Advanced Graphics Architecture (AGA) was the name used for the improved graphics chipset of the third generation Amiga computers at the beginning of the 1990s (Second generation had ECS).
		In the United States AGA was originally called AA for Advanced Architecture, whereas in Europe the name was changed to AGA to reflect that it largely improved the graphical subsystem (opposed to the architecture in its entirety), and to avoid trademark issues.
		AGA is able to do 8-bit pixels, which gives 256 colors in normal display mode and 262144 colors in HAM-8 (Hold-And-Modify) mode (18-bit color, 6 bits per RGB channel).

		We believe that interactive three-dimensional graphics and animation will be an important part of future user interfaces directed toward business, consumer, and entertainment applications.
		The Graphics group has developed a technique to render complex three-dimensional scenes by developing a representation that lies in between an image and a 3-D model.
		The Graphics group has designed an algorithm that can use a set of unstructured images taken with a handheld camera to dynamically produce lumigraph structures and thus new images.

	Graphics
		Computer graphics is a broad, interdisciplinary field that includes a wide and growing range of applications, from science to communication to entertainment.
		During the last 15 years, he has been primarily concerned with research advancing the state-of-the-art in computer graphics and with utilizing these techniques as they may be applied to a variety of disciplines.
		This work is part of a major trend that is increasingly blurring the distinction between vision and graphics: more and more graphics applications have extended the limits of traditional modeling by using a mixture of vision and graphics techniques to import complexity from the real world.

	Graphics Accelerators
		Graphics accelerators are coprocessors that reside in your computer that assist in drawing graphics.
		But the largest deployed base of accelerated graphics solution with the richest variety and highest performance is by far the Windows platform (something that should make executives at SGI feel like complete dufuses.) So while the discussion applies to high performance graphics architectures in general, the background is rooted in the Windows graphics architecture.
		One of the bottlenecks of the earlier graphics accelerators was that the queue would often be too small (typically 16 entries, as is the case of the original ATI Mach 64) to give the host and the graphics accelerator sufficient opportunity for parallelism.

		AGP is the biggest move forward PC graphics have made since the introduction of local bus about four years ago.
		And while some initial AGP implementations by 3D chip makers will closely resemble PCI version 2.1, there are important differences as to how AGP will allow game developers to use more textures and scale up polygon counts in their game scenes, all the while maintaining at least 30fps.
		Graphics accelerators currently live on the PCI bus, a 32-bit bus running at 33MHz, which delivers a peak bandwidth of 132MB per second.

	QNX Technology Development Kits
		The QNX Advanced Graphics TDK is a set of tools that allow system designers to build highly scalable, reliable and high performing 2D and 3D graphical environments using industry standards.
		When a 3rd party or home-grown graphic solution is integrated with the TDK, the combined solution still retains the realtime and reliability benefits of the Advanced Graphics TDK.
		Note that all of these components are optional, except for the graphics driver (devg) and the application code itself (which is statically linked with only the necessary routines required from the Advanced Graphics libraries).

	Paul Kelly: Advanced Computer Architecture
		Early architecture research at Imperial College See Manny Lehmann's description of ICCE I and ICCE II, experimental computers built at Imperial in the late 1940s/early 1950s.
